The simplest way to find out would be using Windows Update. If you don't have an AMD 64 bit processor installed, msxml6-KB933579-enu-x86.exe would most likely be the one your system needs for updateing MSXML6. You would know if your system needs ia64 updates, trust me ) Bye, Freudi

I do not have an AMD 64 bit processor - I have a P4 640 which of course has the intel extended memory 64 technology. My OS is XP Home SP2 and not Pro 64 bit so I am not running a 64 bit system. In addition I have also got the SP 2 pack for XML CS 4.0 - KB936181. But it was easy to see I needed this update as there was only one choice on the download. I would agree that the one you suggest is the lesser of the three 'evils' as the appropriate system for the 4.0 core service update is for XP SP2 x86 32 en, as per the advice on the below link(which I have found an easier read than any MS site for updates) http://ca.com/us/securityadvisor/vulninfo/vuln.aspx?id=35609 but I would rather read the confirmation from yourself, Mow and one or two others, before I jump. Thank you again for your input. Hope you don't find this months update troubleshoot too stressful. Rgds Antioch

Than it's msxml6-KB933579-enu-x86.exe your system needs and is offered via WU/MU/AU. > Hope you don't find this months update troubleshoot too stressful. Nope, it has been a relative stressless month so far Bye, Freudi
