Update for Windows XP (KB967715)

I got a notice (the shield) that the subject update was available. I
went to Windows Update. It said that the update involved a 960 KB
download and that it should take 5 minutes through my dial-up
connection. So I started the installation process.

After 12 minutes and more than 2 MB of download, it still did not finish
downloading.

What's going on?

Don't ask "Why is there road rage?" Instead, ask
"Why NOT Road Rage?" or "Why Is There No Such
Thing as Fast Enough?"

Mine installed, but then kept requiring me to reinstall every time on
bootup. What's going on here???

I don't know where you saw the size but on my PC it certainly isn't 960KB.
KB967715 is around 3MB.

The update itself may be 960 KB but the installer's likely to be much
larger. If you installed it manually, the download is ~3 MB:

PS: You will have to reboot after installing the update.

Any thoughts on why the install is not staying installed, and asks the
user to reinstall each time at restart???

Please stick to one thread (or, ideally, begin your own thread).

Can you email me your windowsupdate.log file?

[<pst> techarena.in forum OP who's asked the same Q repeatedly in several
threads and who may not know enough (or be able to see) replies, so don't
hold your breath.]
