Thanks Noel,
We'll give it a try..
(recently had to reinstall the ME and associated programs after the
motherboard failed ((bad clocking xtal)) using dialup it takes several
"days" to get all the windows updates installed.)

1. Boot into Safe Mode.
2. Search for any and all files named WMP.DLL and rename them (wmp.old
will
do).
3. Re-boot into Normal Mode.
4. Re-download WMP9 and then KB828026 (NOT the 885492 update!).
5. Re-boot.
6. Check to see if the update is offered again - only the 885492 should be
offered, and you should take it.
7. Re-boot - and go back to Windows Update for any further updates
9. Check to see ifthe 828026 update is offered again

for the past 10 days i've been running the win updater and each time it
says
i have 1 critical update KB828026. I run the update and each time the
file loads. But the next time i check for updates KB828026 reappears..

Any suggestions.
Tks,
