KB955430

I Reinstalled Windows from scratch and the Installation went good
But problem with Updates,

errors in Event Viewer over 1600 of them SERVICING
Windows Servicing identified that package KB955430 (Security Update) is not
applicable for this System

the same message for KB968537

I have tried to Uninstall KB955430
but the uninstall button don't respond
right click no drop down
so I can NOT uninstall this Updates
or is there in other way

I have installed only Important updates

SP1 is now in hidden updates wait a bit to install that
or will it fix this

May we assume you're running Vista Gold (no Service Packs)?

> I Reinstalled Windows from scratch

Why? Did you format & do a clean install or did you do a Repair Install
(AKA In-Place Upgrade)?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

thank you
yes Gold no service pack
Vista Home Basic 32 bit SP2 ( Emachine)

I had Linux installed and wanted it out, so I used Linux to Format C, one
big partition.

Unplugged from Internet and
Installed from Disc that came with computer, Operating System Disc
when done 06.01 GB used Space, the rest free
and no errors nor warnings in Event Viewer

Connected to the Internet, straight to Updates,
NO Anti virus, only firewall and defender as came from Disc

and I Installed Important Updates only

after that Event viewer was loaded with Errors and Warnings
and NO service pack

SP1 did appear in automatic Updates till 2 days later

after reading more of the error reports in Event Viewer
one reads:
The server could not bind to the transport\Device\Netbt_Tcpip (.....)because
another computer on the same network has the same name. The server could not
start.

perhaps that's my problem, I changed one Computer name now
and I am Installing SP1 now
will know later if it improves
(SP 2 probably shows up soon have it on other computer)

so NO answer is requested now, I was too hasty
thanks

YW. If you encounter any problems installing a Serice Pack or update via
Windows/Automatic Update, you may need to download/install the System Update
Readiness Tool (Apr-09) *if* Windows/Automatic Update doesn't offer it. See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821

NB: There are a number of SP1 Prerequisite Updates which must be installed
before you'll be able to install SP1. Ideally, they'd all be offered by
Windows/Automatic Update. See
http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/win...ws-update.aspx

PS: SP2 will not be offered until you've gotten SP1 installed.
