I'm guessing it is. I started getting it this evening after installing
MSVC++ version 6. Yeah, I know, but I'm cheap.

Hey MowGreen,

It's Groundhog Day! No wait its only KB923980. I've have tried everything in
this and the other dozen threads I have found here and on other help sites
without success. Update History now shows me successfully install this patch
24 times. I tried to check the "Don't show this update again box" but it is
greyed out.
-sigh-
Any sign of help on this one?

Sorry, I found it. I changed automatic updates to notify and presto a tick
box appeared - problem not solved but at least it's not visible anymore.

Hm, could you please try the following:

#1 Uninstall KB923980 via Software ("Show Updates")
#2 Download the update via
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
#3 Save the file into a folder without executing it yet, e.g. in C:\Downloads
#4 Execute the following command under "Run" in the Start menu:
C:\Downloads\WindowsXP-KB923980-x86-ENU.exe /o
#5 Restart Windows

HTH,
Freudi

I tried that. If you could see my Update History you would notice successful
updates #6, #10 and #19 as Manual update of KB923980. I also downloaded a
fresh copy of the update file three times, once using FireFox in case the
file was somehow corrupted. I unistalled KB923980, restored my system to a
day before the update was released and tried again. That is the only reason I
only have 24 successful installs of that patch.

But thanks for the reply.

Including the parameter /o?

Which version of XP and Service Pack level, please ?
Is Spybot installed ?
