Re: ..

Well, duh! But that suggests the problem's been extant for well over a month.

If you installed KB947821 manually and it's still being offered by Windows Update or if all this is caused by a hijackware infection, you're best bet is to format & reinstall Vista, period.

Latest update for Ie7 960714 ((security update))
Culmative update 958215

KB958215 was released on 09 Dec-08. The most recent Cumulative Security
Update for IE7 (KB961260) was released on 10 Feb-09. Your computer is NOT
fully patched and remains vulnerable to all sorts of security exploits!!

KB947821 is the *System Update Readiness Tool*, aka CheckSUR, that I had
previously asked you to run. The update detection detected that there
are inconsistencies in the registry. Here's one of them:

w) SMI Extra Registry
Key 0x00000000
wcm://Microsoft-Windows-IE-HTMLRendering?version=6.0.6001.18183&language=neutral&processorArchitecture=x86&publicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35&versionScope=nonSxS&scope=allUsers


If my memory isn't on the fritz, that's from a Cumulative Security
Update for Internet Explorer that never installed properly .
Open Windows Update in the Control Panel.
In the left frame, click 'View update history'.
Starting at the top of the list, work your way down until you find which
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 for Windows Vista
(KBxxxxxx) failed to install.
*Right* click the failed update and choose 'View details'.
Note what the error code is, if any.


*Please* post back with the KB number of the update that failed for IE
and the *error code*, if any, that was seen when you chose 'View
details'.

Yes, it always finds ONE update, takes a long time to install it,
and then says completed, Even when i restart right away, full
shutdown etc etc. everytime i run it, it just starts back up.

No i do not create system restore points, and this updates problem
has been like this since at least december...

cW,

MowGreen asked what is the update... It is understood there is ONE
update it keeps wanting to install and does so (supposedly) - but you
have (as of yet) left this update unidentified. Perhaps if you
provided
the KB###### for it? I'm sure it must tell you *what* update it is
installing...
