| 198551 | 2003-12-08 22:53:00 | For the past week windows update is prompting me to install security update number 823559. I have installed it 3 times over the last 3 days but each day it keeps propmting me to install it. Anyone else had the same problem with this update. |

| 198552 | 2003-12-08 23:28:00 | A quick search of "823559" in google reports a few others with the same problem. Heres one: www.dbforums.com Try removing the patch in Control Panel - Add/Remove programs, and reinstall? J :D |

It's happened to me (still does for a WMP update, despite not having WMP installed), and while it is annoying, generally you can find a reason for this happening on Microsoft's website somewhere. They may or may not release a changed patch which does not do this. |

| 198554 | 2003-12-09 02:14:00 | Yes, I have the same problem. Mine dates back to August, when I installed it 3 days in a row before realising it was the same one. A check on an overseas forum told me it was a known problem with this patch. I think it also provided a rather complicated solution which I as a real newbie was too nervous to attempt. Realising I was not alone satisfied me enough then to simply click "Notify Me Later" on each Update notice...usually once a day. (It did fool me by installing once more with a combined update a few weeks ago) I think it began when my IE6 was re-installed from a techie's disk, ironically. Unfortunately it's not listed in my Add/Remove programmes -or it would be long gone. Now I treat it as a minor annoyance, but will certainly be pleased if anyone has a simple solution. |

| 198555 | 2003-12-09 02:29:00 | I could be a complete idiot and say GNU/Linux, but that's not quite so simple a solution. :D | agent (30) | ||
| 198556 | 2003-12-09 02:45:00 | For me, maybe one day..? But I've still got too much to learn on my first O/S to tackle a different one yet. |

| 198557 | 2003-12-09 06:35:00 | Have a look at this thread (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) for similar problems and a possible solution. | Susan B (19) | ||
| 198558 | 2003-12-09 09:21:00 | Thanks Susan B. Yes, I did see this thread originally, but only skimmed it because much of the info didn't seem to fit my particular rogue patch. For example: 1. The recurring updates weren't my own particular bugbear one. 2. Add/Remove was mentioned - and that's not an option. It just ain't here in my list. 3. Part of the thread related to uninstalling Windows auto update notifications. I come & go from this place/machine. I don't trust my memory to remember when I did what before the last time I left it for open country & no computers. I need Auto updates..... Now it seems I need to do "Oxie's fix " - which I should've done then. |
