Automatic Updates

[Guest]

I bought a computer with the Windows XP Service Pack 2 some time ago. Just
recently, I was forced to reformat my hard drive and reboot using my system
disks. The system works fine, except for one small glitch:

My Automatic update keeps trying to install Security Update KB923789. Every
time it tries, however, it fails. I went to the appropriate download site and
attempted to re-download and install the update manually, but I got an error
message saying that my Flash Player doesn't match the update. I currently
have the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer.

Help?

Uninstall Flash, then reinstall Flash

1. How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control

Due to recent enhancements with the Flash Player installers, you are now only able to
uninstall by using the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller

2. Then get Flash here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/

Reboot then try WU again and it should be gone, if not hide the update.
