Update will not install

I have had the little gold update shield in my system tray for over 2 weeks,
saying new updates are ready to install. I have clicked on it at least 15
times to install it, it goes thru the motions, says it installed, then about
1 minute later, the shield is back with the same update.

Any ideas what the problem may be?

Thanks.

You have to guess, my guess is *KB936181* and the OP is using Windowx XP at
least.

Hello "kpigout" , in case I've guessed wrong, perhaps read:

Yes..it is KB936181

This is what I get When I try to install:

Size: 5.4 MB

A security issue has been identified in Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML)
that could allow an attacker to compromise your Windows-based system and gain
control over it. You can help protect your computer by installing this update
from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to restart your
computer. Once you have installed this item, it cannot be removed.

More information for this update can be found at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=88350

Then I get this:

Initializing installation... done!
Installing Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack
2 (KB936181) (update 1 of 1)...

Then....I get "Installation Complete". I close that box, the gold update
shield in my system tray disapears for about 10 seconds, then it's back again
saying updates are ready for my computer...again and again...
