HELP!!!
I have finally solved this original problem (see below) but NOW we keep
getting the same update over and over! (Security Update for Microsoft .NET
Framework, Version 1.1 Service Pack 1 (KB928366)
My update history shows that it has installed like every day for over a
month now. I found a link from 12/24/08 "repeating update" that took me to,
"How to trouble shoot Windows Update when you are repeatedly offered an
update". I tried installing the Malicious Software Removal Tool, it seemed
to be successful but I still get the update... I have AVG anti-virus and
windows defender... The next step is to install the update in the safe mode.
THAT intimidates me some??? Are there any other options to this problem????
Does it matter that I keep getting the same update over and over???
Thanks, Jer

I followed the instructions in Method 1 several times without success. I
did not want to try Method 2 because it required another Download....
I've added RAM we're trying to move things to an external hard drive but I
am out of disk space!! I think we're right around 15% now I think.
I've tried to follow a couple of the links that PA Bear posted here and
found that I have .NET Framework Version 1.1 and 2.0 both SP 1.... but I
was quickly overwhelmed and decided that I needed the instructions "dumbed
down".

I will look into your suggestions (Stanley) and see if I can get those to
work????
Thanks

something goes wrong and it won't post so! I'm going to simply say I
cannot install Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.1

You asked, 'Do I need "Security Update for Microsoft .NetFramework,
Version
1.1 Service Pack 1"?'

Well - if you have .NET Framework 1.1 installed (you likely do given the
information you have) and you plan on keeping it installed (perhaps some
applcuiation you have installed uses it - very likely) then you should
install all the patches and updates for said software. Son in the case I
have laid out - the answer would be 'Yes, you need Security Update for
Microsoft .NetFramework, Version 1.1 Service Pack 1...'

Now - although you didn't ask anything else - you did lay out your
scenario. Casual observation along with experience with the OS and even
the problems you lay out as having lead me to believe your machine does
have problems (and although it is evident from the installation of a
Microsoft product - the problem is with your machine and your stuff -
the update installs for thousands or millions of other people with no
problem.)

You also did not ask "why" you should install Security Update for
Microsoft ..NetFramework, Version 1.1 Service Pack 1, but I can easily
volunteer that information as part of my answer. It includes more than
90 fixes for .Net Framework 1.1.

List of bugs that are fixed in the .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/867460

That's fairly significant.

As for your situation you described - although you did not ask for help
the help you need may be found in the "Introduction" section of the
article I quoted above. Just in case you cannot get to that article for
some reason (and for the archival of this message) - here is the
introduction:

I hope that answers your query and perhaps helps you with your described
delimma.

If you want more specific help or have further questions (perhaps
concerning your described delimma) - please come back and ask. Be sure
to include as much detail as possible about your system - in this case -
the OS/version/service pack level was a good start. Given the topic -
please also provide your video card and version of the drivers/software
for that you have installed. List all versions of the .NET Framework
you have and lay out any trouble-shooting method/fix you have attempted
in the past so we will not repeat any help methods you have already
unsuccessfully attempted.

Otherwise - good luck to you!
