RE: update (KB951847)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Okay..I keep getting the same thing too! Except, I'm not using a MAC. I've
got Windows Vista Home Premium. I keep trying to download and install the
KB951847 update AND IE8, but it won't take. Those two updates FAIL
EVERYTIME!!! Don't know if I really need to have the KB951847 update or not,
but I guess since MS keeps telling me I need it, then I must need it. WHY
WILL IT NOT LET ME INSTALL THE DARN THING!!!!
Frustrating......

I too have been suffering with this stupid update from the standpoint that
although it is dated Aug 2008 I STILL CANNOT INSTALL IT! (Its Now May 20,
2009)

The download takes place, then the install only to end up with a screen that
informs me that the update failed! This has been happening for months and has
also been happening throughout my use of XP Professional with prior updates!
(And NO, additional security programs are NOT the problem!)

XP Professional my foot... This is garbage!

On the other hand, my other 2 Mac OS-X systems have NEVER had any updating
issues. GUESS THE EXTRA $$$ ARE WELL WORTH IT TO ME AND OTHERS!

Signed, a very tired of Windows Crap professional user and now a Very Happy
Mac user eagerly waiting Snow Leopard! Just the facts folks!
