Security Update (819696)

[sb]

I've installed this update about 20 times now. Restart or not, it always
seems to prompt me to update again within 24 hours. Any ideas?

The update in question is:

Security Update for Microsoft Windows (819696)
An identified security issue in Microsoft DirectX could allow an
attacker....

SB,

I usually see this behavior if a user manually installs a Windows Update
patch after the computer has already automatically downloaded the files to
the local system. If this is the case, the resolution can be one of two
actions;

1. Use the Automatic Update wizard to install the updates rather than
manually going to Windows Update.
2. Go to the c:\wutemp folder and delete the files located there.

I found the WUTemp folder on another drive but it's empty.

I'm having exactly the same issue with 819696.

I prefer to manually install all my updates (I check for them daily).

Any other ideas?
