MS Security update KB900725 ! I've tried numerous times to down load to no avail. Something about Shell error. I also have alot of BSOD events daily. Not sure if there related. Old MS update delt with remote access and SHELLs that won't load either. Any Ideas ?

Step eight
Rebooting your computer to safe mode
login as the "Administrator"
rename "c:\windows\system32\catroot2" to "c:\windows\system32\catroot2old."

Step 9
If all the above have failed, open c:\windows\windowsupdate.log in notepad, choose Edit > Select All from menu, hit the DEL key. Save the file. Visit Windows update again. After failure, ATTACH (do not copy and paste) the c:\windows\windowsupdate.log to your next post and someone will come along and help you.

Loaded both MS packages xml3 and xml4. Could not run "regsvr32.exe msxml4.dll" RUN gave a msg "The specified module could not be found. Everything else seem to work until I tried to load up KB900725. It load and tried to install. (Alot further then in the past) MSG states The instruction at "0x7c9122ac" referenced memory at 0xfffffffc. The menory could not read.
Any suggestions or am I doomed to buy a new computer and gain a boat anchor?

[gerryf]

search for it does the file exist? Installing the second package should put it there

you can also try downloading here

http://www.microsoft...&DisplayLang=en

The last step included attaching your log file

[MarkP]

To no avail......I have sent MS Help for Security Downloads a statement of facts about the eror. We'll see.....Tks for the help. The down load for xml4 will not run.

[gerryf]

did you search for it and see if it exists (should be in c:\windows\system32)

[MarkP]

did you search for it and see if it exists (should be in c:\windows\system32)

Found, extracted, ran RUN regsvr32.exe msxml4.dll and success. BUT the Security up date still will not load. I'll try to read org. inst. and redo.

[gerryf]

just so we're clear, you renamed the catroot2 folder?

[MarkP]

Affirmative, in directory I have CATROOT, CATROOT2, CATROOT2OLD

[gerryf]

one of my esteemed colleagues suggests that you download the file manually

http://www.microsoft...&displaylang=en

and see if it will install this way

A very good call

[MarkP]

I have tried in past BUT that was prior to your help. I've even saved and tried to open in safe mode, PRIOR.
I will advise.

[gerryf]

ok, now time for that c:\windows\windowsupdate.log

Find it, right click, send to (compressed folder)

this will zip it up

attach the zip
