The problem is starting last night i noticed that the little globe icon in the taskbat for windows update was on stating that updates were ready to install. I clicked okay to install the update. The window comes up with an installation progress bar and it goes thru the process and says completed. Then... within a few seconds the same icon comes up again.. with the exact same update to install.. I go thru the same process again and again. It always stated that the installation was sucessful. I tried with a manual windows update and it comesup with the same update (something about a cumulative update for outlook express) .... installed the same update again! still the little torquoise icon reappears! I have disabbled automatic updates. No success! Did a sfc /scannow with no success. Any suggestions?

G'day ccfrank, No help, but you are not alone I have the same problem and like you I have disabled auto up-date.

after you do the updates, try restarting the computer Good Luck/God Bless The internet is no longer a toy...it is a combat zone!!

aboucher. I have restarted the computer numberous times. the icon keeps reappearing with the same updates. I have even set it to do automatic updates without notifing me.. still the same stupid icon! I have installed the updates and it has said the install is sucessfull. restart the machine. still the icon reappears .. have shut off automatic updates. restart the computer.. the icon reappears. ????? best of luck Frank :
