Problem with WinXP Update KB913446

I just downloaded all the new updates for winxp, and everyone did good, except KB913446. Any one have any suggestions on why I cannot get this update to download? It said it failed, and to try again.
I am running winxp 2nd edition on my Dell 8250P4 desktop.

I had the same problem. It's a problem with the update and automatic updates. Microsoft is aware of the problem and working on it. You can manually download it here.

Thanks Delta, I will give it a try manually. I did not even know you could do it manually.

I was able to download 913446 ("download succeeded") the first time, but then it failed to install. I went back to the MS update site and it scanned my system and indicated that this update was needed. It downloaded again and appears to have installed ok this time.

I noticed that the screen blanked for a second during the original attempt to install it, so I suspect that's when the failure occurred. Maybe 913446 requires the other updates to be installed and the system rebooted before it can be installed.

I have two entries for this update in the "review your update history". One says "succeeded" with source Window Update. The other says "cancelled" with source Automatic Update. Glad I'm not the only one with a problem. Spent last 1 1/2 hours trying to figure it out. Wish there was a way to delete the "cancelled" entry.
