Install security updates "successfully", but then my computer downloads and installs the same updates again

Original title: at Microsoft course to resolve this ONGOING problem, & VERY BORING PROBLEM with his Windows security updates?

Morning everyone,

There was considerable number of complaints about the failure of Microsoft to solve the problem with its updates of Windows, including updates security for XP, Office 2003, the removal tool malicious and the infamous KB2538242!  I saw these varied complaints not just here, but on some other sites as well forum.

In the evening of Tuesday, July 12, 2011, I once more has received notification of Update icon in my taskbar and clicked on it to start the updates.  According to the list, there were 5 so-called updates downloaded & installed... as shown below: (my auto-mises update is updated every day at 01:00):

KB2555917 (a security update for XP)

KB2538242

KB2493523 (a security update for Office 2003)

KB890830 (updated Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool)

KB2507938 (a security update for XP)

SUPPOSEDLY... .these updates have been installed.  But, just as happened previously, Microsoft Update icon still reappears in my taskbar within 20 minutes the so-called updates being completed!  Yet once, I went through this cycle of "download & installation" these supposed updates 4 different times before visiting the account that Microsoft has NOT YET SOLVED THIS CURRENT QUESTION! There is absolutely NO help is available, whether of Microsoft at all... except if you're loaded with money to spend on paying them to offer some apology for the problem.  Here ARE the UPDATES security AND in accordance with the PROTOCOLS of MICROSOFT, MICROSOFT IS supposed TO BE PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR THE QUESTIONS OF THIS TYPE! 

When the problem instead of turning its back on its customers with the blade go Microsoft to wake up and solve this problem continues is to excuse this "oh, there is no support available for these security update issues... unless you are willing to PAY SOME COSTS FOR the SERVICE?  (It was the response I got from one of the support staff for the customer to Microsoft by phone, said by the way!)

You VERY DEFINITELY have an ongoing responsibility to your Microsoft customers.   What you do to solve this maddening, growing problem, and how a Win XP SP3 client can get any help?

Welcome & thank you for your comments.

Please keep us informed of any progress you make, Pete.

    I've read other discussions on error code 80242FFF.  Based on suggestions from Microsoft technical support, I tried Mncrosoft Fixit.  Also, I started my computer in mode safetboot and tried to update.

    They did not work.  So, will you be able to help me find a solution?

    Hello

    1. is that the copy of windows is enabled?

    2 is the issue limited to the installation of a security update Cumulative for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista (KB2699988)?

    I suggest to perform the steps in the following article and check.

    Method 1: run the Windows update troubleshooting tool and check.

    The problem with Microsoft Windows Update is not working http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/

    Method 2: I suggest you to put the computer in a clean boot state and check if Windows update installs successfully.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below for more details:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135


    Note:     When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps in the section above to reset the computer to start as usual.

    Method 3: If the problem persists, follow the steps in the following article.

    Thanks a lot for your answer. I followed the actions in the link provided, but the problem persisted. To fix it I had to remove the .NET Framework and then reinstall it by using the following procedure. That solved my problem.

    In the "cleaning product:", please select ".NET Framework - all versions.

    5. click on 'clearing '.

    6. restart the computer.

    Note: Once we have removed the .NET Framework, some applications that have need of .NET Framework runtime database could lose their functions. It's just a temporary problem. The function will return to normal after the reinstallation of .NET Framework.

    Important: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
