Windows update offers me KB923561

I downloded the latest updates 2 days ago. Since then Windows Update keeps
offering me KB923561 (which appears to be sucsesfully installed). I tried to
download the patch on safe mode but it didn't help.

Any suggestion is most welcome.

Thanks a lot !

its a bug in the update, just hide that update then it wont appear. goto
update.microsoft.com then in settings hide it. check to see if its in
add/remove programs if it is then its installed ok just a glitch in patch.

It's not the simple, Bandit. It's OK to hide the update if and only if
"Security Update for Windows [XP; Vista; etc.] (KB923561)" is listed in
Add/Remove Programs.

Hi again,

The update is indeed listed in the Add/remove Programs. Therefore, according
to the last post, it is safe to considered this patch as loaded and fully
functional.
Correct?

Once again,

Thanks a lot !

Yes, it's OK to hide the update if it's listed in Add/Remove Programs *and*
Update History at Windows Update website says it installed.

another fix & u can undo hide that update:


Step 1: Rename the ntkrnlpa.exe and ntoskrnl.exe files

1. Close all open windows.

2. Open "My Computer".

3. Navigate to C:\WINDOWS\system32.



Note: I assume the system is installed on the C: drive. If it is installed
on another drive, please modify the above location accordingly.



4. Find the ntkrnlpa.exe and ntoskrnl.exe files and right-click, and select
"Rename". Change the names to "ntkrnlpa.old" and "ntoskrnl.old". Make sure
you press "Enter" after typing in the new names so the changes are executed.



Step 2: Download the update from the following link

=======================================

1. Please visit the following link to download the KB956572 installation
file.



Security Update for Windows XP (KB956572)

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...72-x86-ENU.exe



2. Save it to the Hard Disk C (C:\).

3. Click "Start" and click "Run".

4. In the Open box, copy in "C:\WindowsXP-KB956572-x86-ENU.exe
/overwriteoem" (without quotation marks) and press "Enter".



Note: There is a space between "C:\WindowsXP-KB956572-x86-ENU.exe" and
"/overwriteoem"



After this, please restart the machine and try to visit the Windows Update
site again to check if the Update KB956572 is still listed.



worked for me

I am puzzled by the last post: My problem is with KB923561 - why should I
download and install manually KB956572?
