Try running secunia (FREE) PSI tool against your PC.This shows all out of date unpatched items and gives good advice on fixing.

No error messages, that is what I found odd. You can have the auto-updater install the "patch", but it doesn't take, as the auto-installer and the scanner still see the vulnerability. No error message in any log, auto-update installer. If I try to manually install any of the other "patches" for this bulletin, it indicates that it's not needed or that codec is not supported. ( I tried the XP and all Vista drivers just to be certain)What I am thinking is this is installed somewhere by some toolset otherthen where it thinks it should be, so am hunting for it...just not certain which items to search for. :) Best Regards, Jeff -----Original Message-----From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com ]On Behalf Of Murda Mcloud Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 6:17 PM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: RE: Help with MS07-042 - will not seem to install on this one laptop Error messages?-----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com[mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com]On Behalf Of Jeff Dinger Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2008 3:42 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Help with MS07-042 - will not seem to install on this onelaptopHello the List! I happen to have a laptop, that does not seem to want to take theautomatic security update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 ServicePack 2 (KB954430). Several scanners confirms I still have this onevulnerability left (I originally had 2), and went to the MS site, andinstalled manually (and successfully) on patch that removed the twin vulnerability, however this one remains. Manually attempting toinstallany of the other similar patches fails.Any ideas what services might be running that would cause this not tosync/apply? I'm actually considering asking MS for help, which Iwouldprefer not to do, simply b/c it'll waste 4 - 5 hours of my time doingeverything I've already done. Thoughts? Best Regards, Jeff
