Re: Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 Service Pack 1 (K

Your subject's too long and the KB number was truncated. Are you referring to KB837009, John? Assuming so:

Clear History, delete Cookies and delete TIF via IE: Tools > Options > General, then...

1. Download the Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 Service Pack 1 (KB837009; all OSS) from the following link, saving it to your Desktop:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=925628BD-1B5F-4B21-8D­B6-EDE1C73F97B5&displaylang=en

2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode. (During the reboot, keep pressing the F8 key until the Windows Startup menu appears > Choose Safe Mode > Enter.)

3. In Safe Mode, rename the downloaded file to KB837009.EXE and copy it to C:\ (the root directory of drive C; assumes drive C is the boot drive)

4. Start > Run > (type in) C:\KB837009.EXE /N:V (Note the spaces) > press ENTER

5. Close the command window.

6. Reboot into Windows, check in at Windows Update and see if the problem persists.
