KB835732 update causes "object already exists" popup error

[Will Cummings]

If I update with KB835732, the update causes an
annoying "object already exists" popup error message.
Other than the annoying popup, operation seems
unaffected. The only way I can get rid of the message is
to uninstall KB835732. Has anyone else seen this?

I haven't seen this, but maybe we can figure out why it's happening.
When exactly does this pop-up come up? (only in certain apps, etc.)
Are there any System or Application log errors associated? (if it is a
"pop-up", you should see it in the app log)

I fixed this on my win2k machine. In device manager look for a device with
multiple device drivers. In my case the device "Jungo" had two identical
drivers listed, both "WinDriver". One of the copies had a yellow
exlamation point warning. Both of the drivers pointed to the same file,
but the first one would successfully load and the second copy would not.
Uninstall the one that has the warning. Alternatively, you can disable
the one with the warning, but you will have to disable it in every
profile. In my case Jungo was installed as part of Xilinx webpack
software.
