Windows Update XP(KB929338)

Windows Update XP(KB929338) has been installed by automatic updates. Every
time I restart my laptop automatic updates wants to install the same update.
The update icon remains on my taskbar informing me that updates are ready for
your computer even though the update has been installed. If I reinstall the
update the update icon remains. Any suggestions.

When updates run through automatic updates and then fail, there is no (good
means) of been told it failed. When you go to the windows or microsoft update
and try it you may find the update is failing. When Automatic update fails it
just keeps trying and trying and trying. Which, yeah is very annoying. What
you need to do any time an update keeps showing up is just hit the microsoft
site, type the kb# into the search and then download and run the update
manually. This way you see the errors and hopefully have the opportunity to
click ignore to let it finish. It's happened to me a couple times and this
always worked for me.

The update is ticked with a green tick as being successful each time it is
downloaded. It has been downloaded five times so far but only shows up once
in the Add Remove Program. I have now hidden this update by ticking the
option "Do not show this udate again" in Widows Update Page, this has
stopped it.

I think that you have to toggle something in the registry. Go through the update process again on the MS website but don't close out the screen - click Update History and look for error messages. THere were instructions there to get the registry reset.

Hope that helps

Windows XP? Try downloading the update manually via DownloadCenter:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...b-dc23923d09e7

*Save* the file to a folder your harddisk (let me call it "C:\Downloads"),
do *not* execute it from within your browser.

Afterwards type the following under "Run" in the Start menu:
"C:\Downloads\WindowsXP-KB929338-x86-ENU.exe" /o

The parameter "/o" (o like overwriteOEM) should do the trick for you.

HTH,

Freudi, I have this same problem. What exactly to I type in the Run menu? I have tried to type /o after the .exe extension as follows: "C:\Documents and Settings\mcg\Desktop\WindowsXP-KB929338-x86-ENU.exe /o" but it won't run. Thoughts?

In case you have any blanks in the path where the EXE is placed to,
ypu have to "quote" the whole path and add the parameter afterwards.
In your case, the following should do the trick:
"C:\Documents and Settings\mcg\Desktop\WindowsXP-KB929338-x86-ENU.exe" /o

Nope, since it doesn't happen here on every machine I've installed
KB929338 on. Feel free to describe further, what exactly is happening,
which Windows version you're running and which version of Word/Office.

Bye,
Freudi

Running xp. MS office 2000 SR-1 Professional.
It just freezes.
