Re: Windows Update

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

And have you opened a free support incident request yet?

Have you considered reviewing similar threads in Windows Update newsgroup to see if someone's posted a fix for your problem? ...and if you can't find anything, have you considered posting about this problem in that newsgroup?

The problem I have described ......continually receiving the "Updates ready
to Install"....and the Update is always KB936181......is a problem many
users are encountering. I appreciate what you have provided but given this
is a problem that is being encountered by many users, hasn't Microsoft come
up with a Fix....something an lower level PC user can follow to correct the
problem?

My PC to set to automatically Download Windows Updates. I have now gotten
the SAME Update 5 or 6 times (each time I proceed to let the update
Install). The update 1st appeared Yesterday 11/12....... The Update is
"Security Update for Microsoft XLM Core Services 4.0, Service Pack 2
(KB936181)."

Is there a known problem for this Update? How do I stop it from
re-occurring? After I complete an Install the Download Ready Sheild does
go
away....but it comes back within 5 to 10 mins (and its showing right now
in
my Taskbar)
