Windows Forum / Security / Internet Explorer Security / August 2008Security updates fail to install
For several months now, I get a toolbar notice to install some updates to Windows XP & IE. I am running Windows XP Professional SP3, and IE 7. The following security undates fail to install: Cumulative Security update for Activex Killbits for Windows XP (KB950760) Security Update ofr Windows XP (KB950762) Cumulative Security Update for IE 7 for Windows XP (KB950759) Security Update for Windows XP (KB951376) If these updates are critical, how can I force them to install? If they are not critical, how can I stop the update manager from constantly reminding me that I need to install these updates? I don't want to turn off the automatic updates, but I can't figure out how to remove this reminder. It is on the taskbar, and on the shutdown window whenever I go to shut down my computer from time to time. Thanks for any help and suggestions anyone might have. Ed Wood CrystalBall© sez...
