Update KB920872

I have installed this (apparently successfully) repeatedly but keep on
getting it. Anyone else? Any suggestions apart from just hiding it and
assuming it has been installed OK?
XP Home, SP2.

Hi Cynthia

Could you please send me the %windir%\windowsupdate.log file for this
machine?

Please send to ericbrod@microsoft.com

Thank you

Hi, I have been receiving this update all morning and have installed it each
time, when I check my list of updates with my programs, it shows more than
once, should I delete all the extra updates (KB92086) or just ignore them..
Also, if I have my updates set to be updated auto, how come it notifies me...

I made a mistake in the update (KB92086) should have read (KB920872)

Odd thing just happened, my computer spontaneously rebooted, after which the
problem Update was no longer pestering me! Magic!!

Thats good, after reading your post, I rebooted my pc and now that little
yellow shield is gone, I did have one more KB920872 waiting , so I started
the install and cancelled it... Now the ICON is gone.....good..

I also have the exact same problem (I'm actually glad that other people are
experiencing the same thing). Is there a prescribed fix? Are you still
looking for the log (it's a very large file, and I don't see a place to
attach).

Hi,



The most common cause for this is that you have an OEM PC on which the PC
manufacturer imaged the kmixer.sys, wdmaud.sys and splitter.sys drivers as
unsigned. Update.exe will treat these drivers as OEM drivers and not
overwrite them. Please try the following:





1. Download the update from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...n&Hash=7LFJN64
and save to their C: drive

2. Click on the Start/Run

3. Type C:\WindowsXP-KB920872-x86-ENU.exe /o and click OK



Thank you


Eric

My problem had been far more fatal with MS Update.

10PM last night the 'shield' said it had UPDATES and after a while, asked
to reboot, clicked "Ok". Big Blue Screen Of Death, no load of Windows, file
missing. I am 'on the road' without an XP disc...

Used GoBack to recover and turned Auto Update off, Looked at a lot of NGB
Recovery files and outstanding looked like Malicious Software Removal Tool
v1.20, September 2006 and this "Audio Update".

Went to MS Update and ran the Manual Update and they all loaded and this one
kept showing up again, went through all the steps on the MS KB but it was
this method posted by Eric that finally solved that problem, turned Auto
Update back on now.

Thank You, {also thank GoBack}

I do have an OEM PC (HP), and was getting ready to try your fix, but the
problem seems to have gone away. Rather than risk more problems, I'm
inclined to just leave it alone. Your thoughts?

Thank you for the fix, works fine for me,.. after four days of pulling my
hair out!

I Initially hid the repeatative update, but your solution cures it wholesale.

Once again thanks.

I had the same problem. My computer is a OEM (Packard bell). But I have set
up the standby button to turn off my computer so use that to switch it off
instead of going through the start menu (OK i'm lazy). After rebooting many
times and getting nowhere I switched off through the start menu and the
update installed before my computer shut down and i have not had the message
to reinstall. This may help someone.

Like Mark, I have an OEM PC, and like him I have decided to leave well alone
now the problem has disappeared. Thanks for everyone's responses to my
erstwhile difficulty.

Hi,

I saw your post on this problem as I have the same one. Itried to follow
your instructions but it did not work. When I did the download and went to
run the file I got a message saying it could not be found. I then saved it to
my desktop and tried to run it again it said it was an invalid filename. Can
you help.
