Update for Windows XP (KB920872)

This morning after the automatic update on my home system. After downloading
the windows update icon disappears but a couple minutes later it reappears
and wants me to redownload it all over again. This keeps happening.

I have been experiencing the same thing for the past 2 days. Hopefully MS
will fix it shortly.

Exact same problem three days running.........
Must be more than just a minor problem. Can't anyone help with this?

All indications in Update History indicate successful update, however, task
bar notification keeps reappearing.

Visit the Windows Update site to see if any updates are offered. Copy
and paste this into the IE address window :

After receiving my log file Eric suggested:

The most common cause for this is that you have an OEM PC on which the PC
manufacturer imaged the kmixer.sys, wdmaud.sys and splitter.sys drivers as
unsigned. Update.exe will treat these drivers as OEM drivers and not
overwrite them. Please try the following:





1. Download the update from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...n&Hash=7LFJN64 and save to their C: drive

2. Click on the Start/Run

3. Type C:\WindowsXP-KB920872-x86-ENU.exe /o and click OK



Thank you


Eric

I did as Eric recommended and the recurring update has stopped.

Thanks, Eric
