I downloaded and installed an optional update recommended by Windows updater.
I had a feeling that it didn't install correctly so I uninstalled it through
the control panel. I went back to Windows update and forced it to look for
new updates; however, the update does not re-appear. In the view update
history, it recognizes the update twice and indicates that it was installed
correctly.

I want a fresh install of the update. How do I remove from the two
notifications from the update history window. How do i manually download the
update from Microsoft. Do they have an ftp site?...thanks in advance...j
 
Clear your logs:
wuauclt.exe /clearlogfile

and then to find new updates

wuauclt.exe /DetectNow

You should post this message in the Windows Update newsgroup. The experts
there will have information on how you should proceed. You can use the
following link to get to that group.

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsupdate

Before you post your message there go to Windows Update in IE and on the
left side click View Update History. Locate the update that you are having
problems with. Right click that update and select Copy Details. Paste the
results in your post to the WU group.
