KB896344 Update

[Guest]

This update won't install on my systems.
Is it not necessary or is it being blocked.

It shows on the windows XP update area and as software but everytime I try
to install KB896344 it fails.

Please check Event Viewer for Warning / Error Reports in the System and
Application logs for when these errors have occurred and post copies.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, and
Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information
regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important.

HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308427&sd=tech

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you should
double click for further information. You can copy using copy and paste.
Often the link will, however, say there is no further information.

(Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only)

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click
on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now
start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This
will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report complete with links
into the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event
Viewer.

Find file xpsp3res.dll in your windows\system32 folder and add
a .bak at the end of it. Run windows update and it should update
and replace xpsp3res.dll in your system32 folder.

Gerry Cornell the plagiarizing theif. Absolutely no credit to TerrierL.
Almost word for word with some minor changes. Gerry could have posted
the URL and gave credit.

This is where Gerry Cornell stole the solution.
