Hi all

I just went to Windows Update for the latest and greatest

and of the 5 that were there, one failed to download.

It was Windows Security Update KB913446

I tried a second time to download it and it failed a second time, too

When I went to the update history page, and clicked on the red X

it said that it was an error called "0X8024006"

Has anybody else had any trouble with this update??

Sys info---

AMD 2500+ Barton core (1.87 Ghz)

512 MG RAM

Windows XP Pro SP1 (SP2 won't install right--that's another story!!!)

All other updates installed.

Regularly run Spybot S&D, Adaware, and AVG anti-virus.

Maybe I don't NEED this update???

any ideas??

Thanks----jim

jimras,

I have the same problem.

It' been a bad luck week for me.

Checked with Google and been all over Microsoft looking for help, to no avail.

Ms says no such error in their knowledge base.

Hope for a solution soon.

Download the update from here and you should be good to go.....

Thanks, sethook and jimras.

Got it now.

First time I had to get an update this way.

Went to Add and Remove and was happy to see it was there.

ditto all that...had the same problem and sethooks link saved the day...still curious as to what happened to the update sites download though....seems odd and a bit disturbing.. :wacko::unsure::blink:

I also had no problem getting that update to install, but MS uses many different servers to be able to keep up with demand so it could be that one or two servers had a corrupt package.

That could explain why using a different server, like from Sethook's link, would get you a good install.
