Thanks.

I have uninstalled the patch and the error message went away.

I would suggest that you contact Microsoft about your specific
situation with
info about your OS & hardware.

From http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-040.mspx:

· Customers in the U.S. and Canada can receive technical support from
Microsoft Product Support Services at 1-866-PCSAFETY. There is no
charge for support calls that are associated with security updates.

Could you ask specifically about whether KB920214 and KB 922616 would be
adversely affected by removing KB 921398?

My question is because those two were listed as being affected by removal of
KB921398

I have not yet removed KB921398. KB920214 and KB 922616 are still installed.

I do not know EXACTLY what KB920214 and KB 922616 DO. Or even what KB921398
does (except for the incorrect error message.)
