Re: Vista Update Installs Over and Over

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Since you haven't provided the specific update that is continually being reoffered, here's a guess as to which one it is:

An update is available that improves the compatibility and the reliability of Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 on a Windows Vista-based computer
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941833

If that's the one, then click the link for the " Known issues with this update " heading and follow what is laid out.
If it's not the update, then please post which one it is.
After all, no one here can read minds ... yet. <w>
