Thanks, Herring!
Your suggestion was the ONLY thing that worked for me. I read Dan's answer,
but it didn't help because I only have ONE drive -- C: ...My netmeeting
folder was completely empty, and I realized the update couldn't understand
this. So I downloaded the 3 DLL files you listed and plopped them into the
folder. Sure enough, Windows Update FINALLY left me alone and stopped asking
me to repeatedly install KB835732. WooHoo!!

THANKS AGAIN

The two with the problem, the NetMeeting folder is empty. I probably went into safe mode on those two computers at some time and deleted the NetMeeting folder. My computers all have Programs Files set to the default C: drive.
