Re: Windows update freezes computer

KB835732 is included in SP2 so the update should not be offered from Windows Update. Did you delete anything from the
Program Files\NetMeeting folder or is NetMeeting not located in the Program Files folder ?

Auto Update wants to (daily) download and install Q835732 but it is already on my Windows XP computer. The Express Install page says it is a critical update with this notation: "Total updates selected: 1 items, 0 KB, 0 minutes". But when I try to download and install Q835732 it freezes the computer and I must reboot. SP2 is installed with this notation: [See Q329115 for more information]. If I ignore the Auto Update request the computer generally runs OK but I continue to get multiple requests to download and install Q835732. Have run anti-spyware and anti-virus but they show no problems.
