Re: 96358 failed to install

/Sacrebleu/!

When (approximate date) did you reinstall SP2, Pierre?

Was Norton 360 (which includes a firewall) or another Norton application installed *and* running in the background when you reinstalled SP2?

I HAVE INSTALLED SP2 WHEN IT CAME OUT, AND AFTER SOME CONFUSING MESSUP
REINSTALLED SP2 SOME TIME LATER FROM DISK PROVIDED BY MS.

KB896358 was released *three* years ago (14 June 2005). Have you any idea
why it's not been installed already? NO IDEA, UPDATES LEADS THE SHOW§

Open Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Make sure the "Show Updates" box
is checked | Scroll down and tell me the name of the last five (5) updates
that were installed [e.g., "Security Update for Windows XP (KB999999)"] and
the date each was installed.
Security Update for WXP KB 920213 18 Nov 06
Hotfix for WXP KB909394 18 apr 07
Hotfix for WXP KB915800 08 sep 07
Hotfix for WXP KB915800 V4 05 apr 08
Update for WXP KB927891 12 may 08
I am surprised by the dates, my recollection is that updates installs
"things" more often than this!

Also tell me if "Security Update for Windows XP (KB896358)" is listed? If
it is, what date is listed? YES IT IS : 17 JUNE 05

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)? NORTON 360 & PCTOOLS SPYWARE. NO THIRD PARTY FIREWALL, I USE A
ROUTER NETGEAR. SURPRISINGLY, I HAVE 4 PCs ONLY ONE SHOWS THIS BEHAVIOR,
ALSO KEEPS LOOSING ITS ACCESS/SHARING RIGHTS WITH OTHER PCs ON HOME
NETWORK WITH EACH UPDATE. OTHER PCs HAVE SAME NORTON 360, EXCEPT ONE, BUT
DO NOT LOSE ANY SHARING RIGHTS.

It was proposed by Automatic updates. Everytime it fails.
When turning off the PC it again indicates it will install pending
updates.
There is no msg indicating the failure at that time, but when rebooting
the
icon showing pending updates appears again and I am back to square one.

I have not reinstalled windows.

Was KB896358 offered by Automatic Updates or Windows Update, or did you
attempt to install it manually?

Did you just reinstall Windows?
