Continual request to download and install 835732

[Jason]

Hi team,

WinUpdate is continually asking to download KB835732 yet I have probably
installed it several times already. After thinking that the same message
kept coming up I decided to make a note of KB835732 an sure enough every
time there is an update to install it is the same one.

Thanks,
J.

Do you have a folder in your program files directory named, Netmeeting?
If so, do these three files exits with version dates, 5.1.2600.1348?

1) Callcont.dll
2) Mst120.dll
3) Nmcom.dll

Yes I do,

Here's the weird part:

Turned the computer off and changed location. PC real slow.
Renamed the computer. PC back to normal.
For no reason real slow.
Renamed the computer. Still slow.
For no reason a long time later, back to normal.

I have XP and theres a download from MS that has been trying for 2
days now. It doesnt finish and then starts all over again.

I do have these files

1) Callcont.dll
2) Mst120.dll
3) Nmcom.dll installed .

Anyone any ideas what to do re this. Each time I go on line it starts
but doesnt finish

I have the files but the versions are 5.1.2600.133
Does this mean that the update didn't happen?

[=?Windows-1252?B?1L/UIE13cw==?=]

Yes..
Have you tried to install it in Safe Mode?

Mo

 

[Martin Turner]

Mo

If you haven't already done so, download the update here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...9E-DA3F-43B9-A4F1-AF243B6168F3&displaylang=en

Restart your computer and depress F8 to boot into Safe Mode.
Locate the file using Windows Explorer and double click to execute it.
Then reboot normally.

Hope that helps.
