For the last month or more, I had the same two updates for my computer

original title: Windows updates

For the last month or more, I had the same two updates on my computer.  Is anyone know why and what I can do to fix this?  I am running Windows XP.  Thank you very much.

Hello

the message "you have hidden the important updates" is normal, because you have hidden the high priority updates, but the updates are already installed, if that's OK.

Try to look again at the web page:

http://www.update.Microsoft.com/

and click on "Custom".

You should not see the updates (KB2518864 and KB2539631) in "review and install updates.

You should see only "Important - you have hidden the important updates..." and "high-priority - updates non-priority updates to update for your computer... ».

Then, try this (remove the content of the "'C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" ")

  1. Click Start, click run, type services.mscand click OK.
  2. In the Services (Local) pane, click automatic updates, and then click stop.
  3. Reduce the Services (local) window.
  4. Select all the contents of the Windows distribution folder, and then delete them.

    Note By default, the Windows distribution folder is located in the drive: \Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder. This place is a placeholder for the drive where Windows is installed.

  5. Ensure that Windows distribution folder is emptyand enlarge the Services (local) window.
  6. In the Services (Local) pane, click automatic updates, and then click Start.
  7. Restart the computer.

I hope that we will achieve the goal, it will no longer still report the updates :-)
