Thanks for the heads up. I just got that update but haven't restarted to finish the install. Guess I'll find out soon enough if it acts up :emotion-7: .
1. Click View available updates 2. Right-click on the update you wish to hide 3. Click Hide Update 4. Confirm the UAC if needed
Windows XP To hide an update, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, point to All Programs, and then click either Windows Update or Microsoft Update. 2. Click Custom. 3. Click to clear the check box that is next to the update that you want to hide. 4. Expand the update that you want to hide, and then click the "Don't show this update again" check box. 5. Click Review and install updates.
I was having the same problem with KB967716. In the past I usually let those stubborn updates to install turning off the PC and it worked. This time, no joy, so I hid it. Something was bothering me since next Windows Update is this Tuesday. I found out that this weird behavior is caused, most probably, by a security software that does not accept the Windows validation certification (kb967716 needs to be installed in a certified windows copy, hence needs to be validated). So, it can be installed in safe mode, that is what I did and it worked, or installed KB950582 that does not need to be validated.
Also this Windows update discussion; KB967716 3/7/09
Any update yet? Has Microsoft even addressed this yet? As I speak now, that same Windows Update is trying to get on my computer again. Is it actually downloading the update again and again, meaning we might have to delete some of these? It's not showing up in my Add/Delete Programs in Control Panel, though.
Maybe I'm very late on this, and that's why there's been no more replies, but Microsoft has addressed this issue, saying that you should try to update with KB967715 in safe mode. Here's the official article (it's down in the FAQ):
And I just went to the Microsoft website and found the KB967715 download and downloaded it from there and installed it. The autoupdate shield that has been in my tray since the first time this update tried to download went away. And when I manually checked for updates, it is now gone.
So, if nothing else works, try manually downloading this update from Microsofts website.
Incidentally, in my control panel>add/remove programs, it says that this update installed on Feb. 28.
I have this same problem and I have tried looking for it in ADD/REMOVE under MS updates and its not there even though it has been installed numerous times. Any idea whats the deal with this issue now?

Count me as another one among those that have this problem that hopes someone can get something done with this soon.
It's been more than a little frustrating just trying to find anything out about this anywhere.

Hi paindoc.

Took me to this other link that gives you other solution and explain what I said above.

And here's just another forum/blog that talks about it doing it that way too:

You need to remove the defective copy first. Then it will install.
