Security update KB973540 keeps showing in the Microsoft update site; the download looks as though is done but when we get to the installation phase it keeps failing to do so ( 8 tims I have tried) with the same negatives results. So my suggestion to Microsoft would be to remove it from the update site or perhaps, to make it so the installation would stop failing as itdoes for million of users bugged with it. MY OS = XP Home and all the other recommmanded updates: security or any others are already installed but still pending the KB973540 SO...PLEASE !

Hi, as this forum focuses on Windows 7 specific issues, this inquiry would best be posted to Windows XP forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windowsxpitpro The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding. Best&regards Leo Huang
