Senex,
Thanks for your post. I have attempted what you suggested without success.
I was unable to uninstall the K8936181 update because it was not listed in my
installed update listing. However, I keep getting prompted to install it and
continually receive messages indicating that is was installed successfully.
I tried deleting the "msxml4.dll" file as you suggested, but my system would
not allow me to delete it.
I have attempted the other suggestions by Ottmar without success. My
encountered an error message when installing the KB941833 update and was
unable to install it.
I also looked at the known issues involving KB936181 and did not see
anything to help me.
Any suggestions that you or anyone else has are welcome. This repeated
Update KB936181 is a new one for me and I started having this problem on
12/14/07.
Thanks,
Neo
