Update KB954430 - keeps wanting me to install

Why does this update keep wanting to be installed. I have installed it 7
times, it shows it was successful. I ran the malicious software tool and
everything came out clean. How do I stop this update from installing over and
over again? I have Windows XP. It is doing it on both my computers. I am
ready to turn off automatic updates.

I seem to be having more problems since I updated to Explorer 8 Beta.

get installed...

I followed the instructions from "Serge" and it worked. Thanks Serge.

I removed the update using the Add Remove program in control panel and then
installed update by clicking on it. It has not asked to install since.

And yes I do know what "Beta" stands for in software. I have already
reinstalled Explorer 7.

I am the original author of this question. I am just letting everyone know
that I fixed the problem by reading other solutions for my problem.

I am not replying to anyone.

Subject closed. Thank you.

Seeing as "Serge" didn't post a reply to this thread, no wonder we're
confused. I assume you were referring to this post by Serge:

- I pointed out something that someone might not be aware of and answered
the question.
- You attacked someone and answered no ones question.

If you are going to give advice - perhaps you should follow it yourself
before giving it out to others?

*shrug*

I see no indication to contrary what I suggested. I am a volunteer. I
answer how I feel is needed - if it frustrates you - nothing I can do about
that. One out of a few thousand (10's of thousands?) of responses, two
people?... So be it... ;-)

This thread is *more* than old now, wouldn't you say?

http://groups.google.com/group/micro...a300ace3c353d1

4+ months old and Internet Explorer 8 has not been Beta for over 12 days.

It's called inference - and had nothing to do with this conversation in
particular - but I can see explaining to you might be ineffective at best.

Enjoy your day - I do every one of mine.
