I waited to see if you'd reply to my other reply...but, decided to bite the bullet and do this anyway....lol...

All went well, so far...had lots of 'junk' that's for sure. I did the command sfc /scannow thing and it asked for my XP Home CD...inserted that...rebooted after it finished verifying the files and downloaded updates...there were a few...they all installed EXCEPT for the KB946648...it did the same thing as it had been doing.

I have McAfee through Comcast and can't find where to disable it (when I had Norton a few years ago, it was easy to do it). I wrote to the McAfee Customer Service for info on how to temporarily disable it and am waiting now for a reply. Will let you know what happens.

This update is for Windows Live Messenger, isn't it? I wonder if my Messenger is corrupt or something...maybe I need to uninstall it and reinstall it...just my 'uneducated' guess...lol...

Thanks,

Corrine

I have never gotten a error number nor any reason for why it won't install. Today I went to this page: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=8f588f7e-c4ed-42a0-b157-54b1eda60474&DisplayLang=en and tried to download it here. I followed instructions and it seemed to install, BUT, I got the error message (attached) this time.
