I am using a Windows XP Professional computer with service pack 3.
When the update icon (yellow diamond) appeared in my systray I tried to
install the following three updates:
1) Microsoft.Net Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 Security Update for Windows
2000, Windows Server 2003, and Windows XP (KB974417)
2) Microsoft.Net Framework 3.5 SP1 and >net Framework 2.0 Security Update
for Windows 2000. Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x86 (KB979909)
3) Microsoft.Net Framework 3.5 SP1 Update for Windows Server 2003 and
Windows XP x86 (KB982168)
Although the updates completed, apparently they were not installed properly
because the yellow update diamond icon repeatedly keeps appearing in my
systray.
In Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs, only the first two updates (1) and 2)
above appear in that list.
From that Add/Remove Programs list, I tried uninstalling the first update
(KB974417) and then manually installing it. This did not help. That file
still keeps reappearing after I reboot the computer and then click on the
yellow update diamond icon in my systray.
I checked the web for advice on how to solve this problem. All I could find
were solutions that either didn't work or were complicated and beyond my
ability to understand them.
To avoid having to wait for the updates to attempt to install each time I
turn off my computer, I turned off the Automatic Updates feature. Of course I
would like to be able to turn this feature back on if I can solve this
problem.
What could be causing this problem of the yellow, update icon repeatedly
reappearing in my systray after the updates apparently were installed?
Is there a fairly straightforward way of correcting this problem?
