Can anyone please tell me why the very same security
update attempts to install every single day? It's been
telling me "updates are now available to download and
install"...But it's the same one every day! What's
happening? Any clue?

Thanks!

Open Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel to see if KB835732 is
listed.

Go here :
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS04-011.mspx

Under the " General Information " heading click the plus sign next to
Security Update Information, click the plus sign next to
Windows XP (all versions). Scroll down to " File Information " and
compare the versions of callcont.dll, mst120.dll, and nmcom.dll
with the files on your system ( make sure you choose pre-SP1 or with
SP1 to match your installation ). They are located in the Program
Files\NetMeeting folder. Right click the files, choose Properties,
click the Version tab. If these files match, the update is showing
in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel, and the registry key
matches (it is given on the above page under "Verifying Update
Installation") then the update is installed and not being detected
by the Windows Update site. This is a known issue .

*Hopefully* the update will be refreshed soon.

I tried to follow your advice, but hit a snag... because I
never intended to use it on this PC, I deleted all the
files in the netmeeting folder. There isn't a single
thing in there, but Windows won't let me delete the folder
due to a sharing violation. No wonder this update won't
work, I don't have any of the files it needs to operate
on! How can I keep it from bugging me every time I start
the computer?

Thanks,
Todd
