Guest antioch Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 The yellow shield popped up this evening and offered one update - KB933566, which was one I installed with success last month? After scanning, MS Home gives me 9, but not the one offered via the shield, plus a Roots Cert update. I can see that this shield is going to stay with me - so should I delete last months install and do it again? Rgds Antioch

Are you sure about the KB number? KB933566 has been the Cumulative Update for IE released via WU/MU/AU on June 12th 2007. It has been superseded by KB937143 (MS07-045) yesterday. Whichever Windows version you're using, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933700/en-us isn't the fact on your system, is it? > After scanning, MS Home gives me 9, but not the one offered via the shield, > plus a Roots Cert update. AutoUpdate sometimes needs some time before showing up the relevant updates released on Patch Day. Bye, Freudi

The yellow shield is still showing that same 933566 :-( In any case I download from MS Download Center and save to disc. Find this a more reliable way. I will see what happens to the shield after I have updated. Thank you Freudi Rgds Antioch

Have you rebooted since then? Do you have anything running at boot time which might inhibit the module renaming that an update might need to do to be completed? Check in Event Viewer (System log) to find everything related to that update. Unfortunately it doesn't specify which modules that require booting to finish. (You can get that information from the update's log, at least from its verbose log.) Before booting check the PendingFileRenameOperations value to see if any module renaming is going to be needed. Check the modules involved and their versions. (Tip: use filever.exe from the XP Support Tools as a convenient way to do that.) > After scanning, MS Home gives me 9, but not the one offered via the shield, > plus a Roots Cert update. Perhaps it was superseded by newer update(s) to the same module(s)? > I can see that this shield is going to stay with me - so should I delete > last months install and do it again? Did a superseding update get successfully done (post-boot?) Then any reference to the superseded one should be deleted after that. So, why is the shield staying? Because of a superseding one which also can't be completed during the boot or something else? HTH Robert Aldwinckle ---

After my post I downloaded the update to the Mal Soft Remover and did nothing else. Before going to bed the shield still showed that one KB and WU Home the same as previously. I next switched on about 5pm this evening - no shield appeared - my luck was in - switched off at 7.30pm. I returned to the computer at 11.30pm and the shield was there - but it showed all the updates as per the WU Home page had on offer. I hope you do think your help has been a complete waste of time. With my limited knowledge and your comprehensive technical reply, I can only say that you have been let off very lightly, because, had the problem persisted the Q's I would have posed to your response would have tested the patience of the most patient of men to breaking point. I must remember to add that bit about 'not being able to educate pork' after my signature - it gives a hint of my computer ignorance to anyone replying :-). The bit about the Event Viewer I did understand - no error identified that I could connect to the yellow shield matter. I boot after all downloads whether or not requested - ever since that security update some months ago didn't tell us to reboot when it should have. Now all I have to do is get ALL the others downloaded. Thank you - keep up the good work here in the groups. Rgds Antioch
