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" ")
- Click Start, click run, type services.mscand click OK.
- In the Services (Local) pane, click automatic updates, and then click stop.
- Reduce the Services (local) window.
- 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.
- Ensure that Windows distribution folder is emptyand enlarge the Services (local) window.
- In the Services (Local) pane, click automatic updates, and then click Start.
- Restart the computer.
I hope that we will achieve the goal, it will no longer still report the updates :-)

WU repeatedly installs the same two updates. KB2686828 and KB2656839.
I am repeatedly offered the same two updates that are installed automatically. When I try to install any other optional updates, they are downloaded but do not install. When I check the update history, there is no failure message or any indication the downloaded updates tried to install. I tried to install in the clean boot state that didn't work and I tried to fork to install. The two who installed do not add and remove programs. I also tried the update fix - it who said that had changed the location data. Is there anything else I can do? Thank you.
Hi Kathleen,.
Did you change your computer before this problem?
This problem occurs when one of the following conditions is true:
(a) an error has occurred during installation. The update has not been installed.

I bought Adobe Acrobat Professional and tried to turn it on for a while. I also had this same program on my old computer. How to disable enable it from this computer so that I can activate it on my new computer?
Hi larrygoynes,
To transfer the license from one pc to another how to proceed is to 'Disable' the license first of the older machine.
To accomplish this, you need to launch Acrobat, go to the 'Help' menu and select 'disable '.
On the new machine, you can install Acrobat and then use the serial number to 'Turn on' the software and it will complete the transfer of license.
You can refer to the KB Doc: Activation & deactivation help
Kind regards

Error message "another computer on the network has the same IP address as this computer. Contact you network administrator for help resolving this issue. More details are available in the Windows system event log"
Does anyone have a simple way (for a dummy) to solve this. If I disconnect my wireless router and laptop and turn the two again this sorts the problem temporarily, but it does not provide a definitive solution. I use a new laptop and my old one has been scrapped, so I do not know whence this 'conflict '. My old laptop had Windows XP operating system and my new Windows 7. I hope that someone can provide a solution to this annoying problem.
Hi Figgerty,
have you tried these steps?
