Can't reinstall failed critical update with microsoft update
Dear Everyone,
I ran a check on my computer with Belarc Advisor. According to Belarc, Microsoft security hotfix 329115 failed on my computer, and I need to reinstall it. Following the link provided led me to security bulletin MS02-050. I discovered that said security update, to fix a Certificate validation flaw which might permit identity spoofing, does indeed apply to Windows ME. But when I clicked the link to do this, it simply led to the automated Microsoft update page, which does not seem to be of the opinion that I need any critical updates. My guess is that the automated update views the update as installed properly and working, whereas Belarc detects that it's a failed update. What do I do? Should I assume (contrary to my suspicions) that the automated update is more reliable than Belarc, and forget about it? Sensible would seem to be to redo the update manually, which at any rate shouldn't do any harm. Except--how would I do it? Haven't the foggiest. The microsoft security bulletin just tells you to click a link leading you to the automated update page. I have Windows ME because the base computer is a 200MMX, which can't handle a more modern operating system. Help, please. -puzzled- |
