Anyway, I used Windows Update to hide KB886903. After UD starts, I clicked Custom Install, and got a display of updates needing to be installed. There's a "Hide" checkbox by the description for KB886903 - I just checked that, and it now allows me to stop/start Windows without a whole bunch of error messages. I haven't tried resetting the hidden status (also from the Windows Update main screen), becuase it's not clear that if I do, it won't try to reinstall it. Kind of a bad UI for that feature, I think... GL, and let me know if you got it hidden - if not, I'll send you soem screen shots...
From: Bill Sharpe on 21 Feb 2005 12:21 Thank you, Dave, especially for answering so soon on a holiday! The hide update choice was grayed out for kb886906. Once I unchecked the update choice I was then able to hide it. My shutdown procedure now appears to be normal and the shield icon saying there are updates waiting to be installed has disappeared. At least now my system is working normally. I'll wait patiently to see if MS Support comes up with any clues on how I can successfully install the update.

From: jonb on 21 Feb 2005 22:35 Thanks for the "hide" tip. It worked for me. At least it doesn't try to install the 2 updates anymore. I just got a 100+line step "fix" by email from Ms. Liu at MS. I have to give them credit for replying within 24hrs. She didn't admit 100's/1000's are affected. She wants me to start by removing my router and then all these programs which "may interfere with updates". I don't believe it. Receiving auto updates for 3yrs, why do only these latest 2 fail to install? TweakMASTER DNS Web Accelerator Download Accelerator GetRight Browser Blaster Sygate Personal Firewall Norton Internet Security Freedom Firewall Zone Alarm Firewall Until I see more problems, I'm not doing this now. I don't have the time. Her "fix" is too big to post here, and I don't like posting private emails on newsgroups.

>I just got a 100+line step "fix" by email from Ms. Liu at MS. Holy smokes. Y'know, I wouldn't mind so much if the MVPs would just say, "Yeah, we see there's a substantial problem here, and we've alerted the folks in Redmond. Please just hold tight until the home office can code out a fix-um executable". Heloooooooo... Yours truly, Uncle Beer |
