PS: Irene, did you disable your anti-virus application before installing the
updates?

Xpost to WinME newsgroup.

You needn't have renamed the file download for WMP update 828026.

That being said, may I ask if you've ever reinstalled WinME without first
having uninstalled IE6?

Have you ever uninstalled /any/ version of Windows Media Player via
Add/Remove Programs or Add/Remove Windows Components?

The downloaded Updates worked upon your instructions but when I scan for
updates the same two come up again in Windows Update. When I click on
remove and then scan for updates the same two come up again saying I
have two critical updates waiting.

news It is probably my fault but anyway first of all when I went to the
Microsoft website to download the KB837009 file. It said that it
wasn't available and to go to the home page and search for it. I
did that and downloaded KB837009. I have it on my desktop but I
don't know what you mean by root directory of C:. I copied and
pasted the file into my Drive C: into the Windows directory but
when I am in safe mode and type C:\KB837009.EXE/N:V it says it is
not found. I apologize for all this but what did I do wrong?

Assuming you do have a file called kb837009.exe in the c: drive
and it is not under any subdirectory in that drive, then you would
appear
to have the file at C:\ (that is, the root--meaning there is no
subdirectory involved.)

So, the only apparent error from what you have given us is not leaving
at least one space between the file name (which is a program name)
and the program's switch. Try copying and pasting into the Run...
dialog:

C:\KB837009.EXE /N:V

(two spaces inserted between the program name and its switch for
clarity)

Try the following to resolve the 837009 problem:

Clear History, delete Cookies and delete Temporary Internet Files
(including offline files) via IE: Tools Options General, then...

1. Download the Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6
Service Pack 1 (KB837009; all OSS) from the following link, saving it
to your Desktop:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

[ Optional: 2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode. (During the reboot,
keep pressing the F8 key until the Windows Startup menu appears
Choose Safe Mode Enter.) ]

NB: Do not double-click on the downloaded file to install it cos it
won't work!

3. Rename the downloaded file to KB837009.EXE and copy it to C:\ (the
root directory of drive C; assumes drive C is the boot drive).

4. Start Run type or copy/paste the following into the box:

C:\KB837009.EXE /N:V

Press [ENTER]

5. Close the command window.

6. Reboot [into Windows] and then check in at Windows Update to see if
the problem persists.
=================
Try the following to resolve the 828026 problem:

1. Download the update using the following link, saving it to your
desktop:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...7-211DE4BF9BD0

2. With WMP closed, double-click on the downloaded file to install it
& reboot.

In my last message I should have said Windows Media Player 9 is the
current player that I am running. I don't have much experience in
this line and I don't know where to look for KB823353 or Q823353.

I don't much experience in this line but when I look at the
add/remove programs it lists "windows explorer 6".

I don't see any reference to KB823353 or Q823353 in the
add/remove programs.

I only see Q823559 & KB891711.

KB828026 - Critical uppdate for Media Player script command.

What version of Windows Media Player (WMP) are you running
(e.g., WMP 7)?

KB837009 - Cumulative security update for Outlook Expres 6.

Outlook Express (OE): Help About Files: What versions of
MSOE.DLL and INETCOMM.DLL are displayed here, Irene?

Do you find any reference to KB823353 or Q823353 in Add/Remove
Programs (e.g., "Security Update - Q823353")?

I have a problem with two updates. I have installed them
approximately 11 times and each time they are documented
as being successful. They keep coming back everyday. What
can I do to correct this problem?
