KB905474 keeps failing

Why is this particular update being crammed down my throat at each reboot?
It pops up as "update needs downloading" and then it immediately fails after,
apparently, downloading. Each and every time I reboot this happens. I have
tried the traditional methods of stopping an update from being offered, but
this one evades my efforts to kill it. Any help out there?

If you are referring to update 905474, then download and install directly:
http://www.download.windowsupdate.c..._4bafa8793e8cdcaf4ba4ffc494df32d496154544.exe

I too have not been able to get KB905474 to install on my Windows XP
Professional system for about 3 months!!!. It has NOT interfered with all
the other security updates using Microsoft Updates. I tried downloading and
installing your recommendation but it did not help. Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help.
 
Carey, I have solved the problem! Sorry to take up your time. I went to the
'Windows Update' section of the newsgroup and found help from a message from
a Robin Walker [MVP] which did the trick. I think he implied that your llink
below was out of date!?

I recommend all other users should steer over to the 'Windows Update'
section for this kind of problem; my error in not doing that first. :-(
Thanks for your help.
