Re: Why does microsoft update want to keep installing the same upd

Hi,

With regards to Windows Update repeatedly reporting KB823353 (or KB837009)
as available to install but Windows Update History lists it as being
previously installed successfully......

Have a look at how I resolved this problem on my PC running Windows2000Pro
SP4.
The subject title of my post is 'Solution to KB823353 & KB837009'.

regards!
