If KB925672 is still not being reoffered and is showing as Hidden at
Microsoft Update, then that's 'expected behavior'.
It will always show as Hidden.
Give this a shot, Serge ... navigate to
WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download
and
WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\EventCache
Delete all contents of both folders
Then download the latest version of the Windows Update Agent and save it:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe
Download KB927891 and save it:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7A81B0CD-A0B9-497E-8A89-404327772E5A

Close the browser and any other open programs.
Install WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe
Then install WindowsXP-KB927891-v3-x86-ENU.exe
Restart the system
Does the yellow icon appear now ?

I downloaded those two files and saved them. I then navigated to
Windows\softwareDistribution\Download and
Windows\SoftwareDistribution\EventCache.

After reading: "These files are used by the operating system and various
program. Editing or modifying them could damage your system." I just could
not bring myself to delete the contents of those two folders...yes, I got
cold feet.

Can you tell me why the contents of those files have to be deleted? Will
those two downloads be replacements? I am completly in the dark here. I am
just trying to learn.

As long as KB925672 is hidden there is obviously no yellow icon. When I get
enough nerves to do what you tell me, what do I do with KB925672 or will the
matter take care of itself?

There is *NO* reason to delete the contents of
SoftwareDistibution\Download nor SoftwareDistibution\EventCache if the
update is *NOT* being reoffered, Serge.
The only reason one would delete the contents of the subfolders is if
there is corruption of the binaries.

Suggest you install the 2 updates recommended previously in the order
listed and then restart the system and be done with this. <w>

I downloaded those two updates and installed them. I went to Microsoft
update and did a search.

I was offered KB925672 as a hidden update. Tried again same answer. On the
third try I was offered KB925672 as a hidden update and KB927978 as a high
priority update.

I decided to install KB927978 and KB925672 and apply what I now call the
MowGreen solution.

I installed KB92978 and then restarted the computer. Before doing anything
with KB925672 I went back to Microsoft Update, click on express for new
updates. Not only was I not offered any new updates but there was also no
hidden updates on offer. Tried a second and a third time with same results.


No use to say that I did not apply the MowGreen solution. Problem seems to
be solved…The yellow Icon is nowhere to be seen and I hope it stays that way.

Thank you for all your trouble and advice, much appreciated.
