I have followed the advice of "tomron" which was offered as a solution but without success. The offending update is KB936181 which I have repeatedly tried to install, but it keeps on returning. Please can anyone offer any other advice, believe me I have tried many othe references without success.

Thanks mombodog for your reply. I have already installed the latest version of the Kodak software which I use with my video camera but I still have the original Kodak disk, so I may re-load the original software which never gave me any problem with the Windows updates.
However, I have not yet looked at the various entries, there are 69, but it may be worthwhile for others to look at since it refers to a specific update (KB936181), which keeps recurring on my computer even though it is already downloaded and installed.
I looked at some of the messages that I referred to in my last post and now I seem to have solved the problem. I did try several suggestions but the successful one was the simplest - use Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs, make sure that the Show Updates button is ticked, and then scroll to the offending update and remove it - then exit the Control Panel. Now make sure that Automatic Updates is selected for Windows, close the computer and re-boot. On completion the update is downloaded and reinstalled.
Since carrying out this process the offending update as not (yet) tried to return.
