Windows Event Log service crashes, and I can't get the hotfix!

Hello folks
Running Windows Vista Home Prem. x64.

Occasionally the Windows Event Log service will crash (and cascade crash
other services that write to the event log) and after some power googling I
found this seemingly relevant KB article from MS:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952664

However I try to download and install the fix but Vista says "This Update
Does Not Apply to Your Computer"

And since I "only' have an OEM Vista version I can't create a support case...

Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,

Check the file versions on your system and compare them to the ones for the
files listed in that article. If the ones on your system are the same or
higher, then the update cannot be applied.
