"This update is not for your system" / "Gjelder ikke for systemet"

Hi,
whenever I try to manually download updates I want from the MS site, I get a
message when I try to install, saying that it's not for my system.. but it
is! I run Vista 32bit, and I never download for anything else than that. Why
do I get this message?

This is what I wanted to download, but I get the same message with everything.

Does Windows Update website or Automatic Updates offer KB938979?

My automatic update is busy with prompting me to update the same update every
five minutes. So no.
But I got this update as a "solution to a problem" by windows. You know, the
automatic problem solver which Vista provides.
