Thanks, Larry, Tucson

Larry,
I think you made an un-intentional typo: It's not an MSN update. It's a MS Cummulative update for Internet Explorer browser.
The *fix* number is labeled KB832894. Yes, you should indeed be sure to get it.


The "fail to install" can be any one of many possible root-causes.
1. Look at your log file. Get the real *Error* line from there.
2. Use that to do your own on-line search (both at MS & also on Google group search).
3. Use Windows Update newsgroup to get "more on-target" help.

You need to find & "isolate" the section of the log for that "fail date".
Use Windows' Notepad to open this log:
* C:\Windows\Windows Update.log * (for Win XP & Win98/Me)

Having found the "error" , then do a "search" on this MS page. See MS Windows Update Troubleshooter

Joe:
Where do you get this idea? I've seen 1 or 2 of your posts below.
You're off base on this one !
Fix / update KB832894 is legitimate. It is from Microsoft.
