Security updates

[alex]

Hi,

I am running XP-SP3, and can download and install all security updates ,
EXCEPT, "Cumulative Security Update KB 950759" which keeps returning to
install.

After trying to install message reads, "Unable/cannot install, KB 950759".

All other MS, auto. downloads and installs without any problems.

Has anyone got any idea why this is happening?

Regards,

I think you are encountering the problem mentioned in the SP3 Release
Notes.
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...5a-40d3-a802-e4057aa8c631/relnotes.htm#ID0EOB

Solution: If you have already encountered this issue, uninstall Windows
XP SP3, uninstall Internet Explorer, and then reinstall Windows XP SP3.

Hi, Gerry,

Thanks for reply,

Yes I goggled the error and there does seem to be this problem with SP3,
and IE7 I would have thought it would have been sorted before the release,
perhaps there will be a hot fix later?

thanks, alex

Hi,

no, went to add and remove clicked on remove and a panel popped up telling
me that removing SP3 may affect all my programs, so I think I will wait for a
hot fix. (gutless)
