Re: q823559

Ok, I just went to Add\Remove and removed q823559 and then went to
windowsupdate and reinstalled and worked as far as QFEcheck and FF check and
windowsupdate Welcome scan [all worked] this time. I think what was wrong is
that this was in the Add\Remove during the reinstall of ie6 and just stayed
that way on the continuious attempt to reinstall the update.

The only problem I am having now is that the streaming video is not
displaying at Google News and probably elsewhere.

Are you saying Windows Update has ceased to offer it anymore & you do

Best start a new thread for that. Post a specific site that has the

Jim's machine is now fully patched. He has no more updates to install.
There's no solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

I think the problem with q823559 is solved. I will know for sure as the week

I understood your point & might have eventually agreed. HOWEVER, it
turned out his file versions were wrong in QFECheck for 823559, despite
his Windows Update.log was reporting that update to be a success. Now,
all seems to be well, though, that he uninstalled the update FIRST in
Add/Remove before taking it one final time. He said...!...

"Ok, I just went to Add\Remove and removed q823559 and then went to
windowsupdate and reinstalled and worked as far as QFEcheck and FF check
and windowsupdate Welcome scan [all worked] this time. I think what was
wrong is that this was in the Add\Remove during the reinstall of ie6 and
just stayed that way on the continuious attempt to reinstall the
update."
