[Ham-Computers] XP SP3 Auto Update Problem

[Dave 'Doc'Corio]

If you navigate through Start, Settings, Control Panel, and get to "Add 
or Remove Programs", at the top of that window is a check box for "Show 
Updates". Check that and it will show all updates performed on the 
computer. You should hopefully be able to match up the update number 
(KBxxxxxxx) and remove it.

Good luck
Doc
