Did you get 823353 at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com? Did you install
*all* the Critical updates shown? Please do so.

If you return to Windows Update and 834707 (MS04-038, Cumulative Security
Update for Internet Explorer) is *not* offered, you can download this update
at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=DE8D94C4-7F58-4CE7-B8BD-51CFD795B03E.
Save the download (suggest Desktop for convenience), close all running
programs (including anti-virus and Messengers) and double-click on the saved
file to install it. Reboot.
