Hi

I have this problem with Security Update for Flash Player (KB913433),
it won't install! Every time I start XP it asks me to download this
update. When I do this it downloads 0 kbs and asks me to install
downloaded update. When I do that it says update failed to install,
then the cycle starts all over again. How can I get rid of it?

I'm not sure if it's related but Thief II now causes a major crash
since this update appeared. It usually happens after I try to start or
load a game from the game's menu.
Thank you for your time.

see the methods outline in the above article. The problem seems to happen when
you have updated an older version of Flash.

Also Michael posted:
<snip> I managed to get it sorted by manually updating it.

Internet Explorer --> Internet Options
Settings
View Objects
Right Click the Shockwave Flash Object and choose Update.

This should update it to version 8.0.24.0. I then done a Windows Update and
the Flash Update was no longer showing up. <snip>
