| 616714 | 2007-11-30 04:35:00 | Hi, For the last four days on start up,I see the "update shield" on my bottom tool bar for a few seconds and then it disappears. When I shut down, each time over the last four days - there is a shield showing on my "shutdown icon" page,whch has, as always, previously, done it's job-- Including my mid month O S updates- but now, what ever program it is,it remains uninstalled, apparently, as the next time I fire up, work, then shut down - there it is again and I have no way of finding out from whence it came. No update shows in my add/remove after Novemeber 14, so it obviously has not completed the install. Can some body advise what is going on please?-- and of course, how to fix it I use XP Pro, O S effie c |

| 616715 | 2007-11-30 05:00:00 | Go to the Windowsupdate site and do a scan. If it brings up that notifications update untick it. That's been happening on the other PC (with that annoying notifications update). Its not installed on either of these, and wont be either. |

| 616716 | 2007-11-30 05:27:00 | Hi Speedy Gonzales, Thank you - I will do that,but will I need to do to have the normal updates installed as they usually come in mid month ie --10 th through 13th of the month, search the update site manually? And if it comes to that, if I then try and install manually will it run into the same problem ie not install effie c |

| 616717 | 2007-11-30 05:42:00 | Hi Speedy G, For what it is worth, your comment earlier that you had the same trouble on another Xp computer - see if the below comment, helps you and me. I went into the update site and it stated that XP had to have another install modification to be able to get the auto updates !- from now on ? I downloaded that and it appears - I repeat, appears, to have made things right - I shalll see when I fire up next time Thank you yet again for your freely given advice- it is very much appreciated effie c |

Yet I have Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installed. I have uninstalled version 2.0 and tried to reinstall the service pack with no luck. Any ideas on how to fix it? Growler. |

| 616720 | 2007-11-30 06:48:00 | Get it manually (www.microsoft.com) If .Net framework 1.1 is installed I would get SP1. |

| 616721 | 2007-11-30 07:23:00 | You have to be careful, how and in what order you install these .net framework programs and updates. I uninstalled 1.1 once while v2 was installed. I couldnt reinstall 1.1 I had to format, to fix it. |

I d/l 1.1 service pack, installed that and that fixed it. Thanks again. Growler. |
