update keeps repeating same thing
See if this helps, it was posted in the Windows Update ng and refers to
your problem update. Joan Hi Singlpop61, This information, posted in this newsgroup by mTIE, has helped many Windows ME users to resolve the 828026 problem: "I had the same problem, and it took me a long time to figure out the fix. First, The advice at http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/828026.htm _might_ be usefull to people with Windows XP but it was no help to me. (I'm running Windows ME.) I found some good advice on these newsgroups from "Smirnoff" who says: 1. Delete all copies of WMP.DLL (There should only be one, probably in C:\Windows\system; If you're nervous about deleting files, back it up first, or just rename it.) 2. Re-install Windows Media player. (I found if you just click on the player icon after deleting WMP.DLL, it will automatically walk you thru downloading a new copy from the web and reinstalling.) 3. Re-install 828026 This is very good advice but VERY IMPORTANT: When you go back to Windows update, install 828026 ONLY! Do not install any other updates at the same time! I went thru this routine, and when I went to Windows Update, it told me there were two critical updates I needed: 828026 and 885492. Like a good little sheep, I took the path of least resistence and let it install both. This put my system back to where it was before, where Windows Update keeps insisting that I need 828026 over and over no matter how many times I install it! What I've learned is: Installing WMP9 installs version 9.0.0.2980 of WMP.dll Patch 828026 upgrades this to version 9.0.0.3075. Patch 885492 upgrades this to version 9.0.0.3250. What I think happened to you, me, and a lot of other unfortunates is we installed both patches to WMP9 at the same time -- becuase Windows Update told us to. WU installed the second patch first. Then the first patch failed because WMP.dll was then newer than the one it was trying to deliver. However, it fails without any error message and tells you that it was successfull. But then the next time you go back to WU, it sees that you have WMP9 but you don't have the registry entry that shows that 828026 was installed, so it just keeps trying...."

update keeps repeating same thing
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 889452 update!). 5. Re-boot. 6. Check to see if the update is offered again - only the 889452 should be offered, and you should take it. 6. Re-boot - and go back to Windows Update for any further updates 6. Check to see if update was offered again (it wasn't). Hope this helps anyone with a similar problem. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "mcnewsxp" wrote in message ... i keep getting notification for the same windows update even after i let it auto-install or even if i got to windows update site and install it is KB828026 media player script commands update. i've done it at least 8 times in the last 2 weeks. |

update keeps repeating same thing
Perfectly correct, Joan
I found my solution playing with my ME box (as I couldn't see why it should need a reinstall simply to correct a single file version mismatch, which is the root problem here) - and while I believe it should work for everyone, if it doesn't work for someone, then your solution should work for them. One day, MS may get around to putting a version-checker in the appropriate patch, and/or changing the order of installation - but I wouldn't bet on it! -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Joan Archer" wrote in message ... lol That was a lot shorter and to the point than the message I pasted in, but was I right to post it don't want to give bad advice g Joan Noel Paton wrote: 1.

Thanks for that Noel, at least I know now I didn't give out wrong info. It
was funny really as I had just finished reading WinME and the next one with messages was the update ng and saw the post there g Joan Noel Paton wrote: Perfectly correct, Joan I found my solution playing with my ME box (as I couldn't see why it should need a reinstall simply to correct a single file version mismatch, which is the root problem here) - and while I believe it should work for everyone, if it doesn't work for someone, then your solution should work for them.

5. Re-boot. 6. Check to see if the update is offered again - only the 889452 should be offered, and you should take it. did you transpose? the update that is waiting after 828026 is installed is 885492 not 889452. ? thanks, mcnewsxp |
