jesse20009 Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 I'm not seeing a security tab on the internet options panel.This has just happened out of nowhere.Also, when I go out to the Microsoft Updates site, it keeps telling me that i need to install update KB823353. Well, i've installed that update about 6 times already and it sais i've done it successfully. And it just keeps comming up.I've done spyware scans, virus scans, and others. Nothing. i'm running Windows XP service pack one. If anyone knows any solutions, please let me know. thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blim Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 I agree, installing SP2 needs to be done, and would probably fix that reoccuring Update Request, but would that fix Jesse's Security tab problem? (I've been watching this thread )Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 From what I remember, it's actually SP1 that needs to be RE-installed. There's an error or corruption in it that won't allow that particular update to be "flagged" that it's done. It's, I believe, related to Outlook and whether you use it or not Windows will try to keep it up to date. Again, if I remember correctly, nothing you do with Outlook (uninstalling then reinstalling, etc.) will fix it. I had a different update that kept reinstalling and I do not remember what I did that finally allowed it to take (me and my memory). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
