EUREKA   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I've done it   !!!     actually Eric,   I did what you have posted, but before you posted it   (honestly )       I only discovered today the problem update .... and I'm always extremely wary about deleting things that might be necessary ... but it was really getting on my nerves   (and everyone else's  ) so I went for it   ...and it's done  !!!   Thank you for your input.

Many thanks to all , sorry if you've trawled through my long post   .............   ooooooh I'm so

Wooo hooo.

Send 'er round, unkyUb 


When I read what KB was causing the problem, I was going to post this, but I won't bother now 

•   Security update 936181 for Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) 4.0, for MSXML 4.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and for MSXML 4.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2) does not support the complete removal of MSXML 4.0. This situation occurs because this version of MSXML is installed in side-by-side mode. To work around this issue, follow these steps:   1.   Remove security update 936181 by using the Add or Remove Programs item in Control Panel.
2.   Delete the Msxml4.dll file from the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder.
3.   Repair the previous installation of MSXML 4.0 by using the Add or Remove Programs item in Control Panel.

The earlier versions of the Msxml4.dll file and of the Msxml4r.dll file are restored to the side-by-side folder and to the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder.
•   You may receive the following error message when you install security update 936181 from Windows Update:
Could not register type library for file c:\Windows\system32\msxml4.dll. Contact your support personnel.
When this error occurs, you may also notice information that resembles the following in the log file:
Error 1911. Could not register type library for file c:\Windows\system32\msxml4.dll. Contact your support personnel.

To work around this problem, manually install the security update from the Microsoft Download Center, and then click Ignore when the error message is displayed. To confirm that the installation was successful, verify that the Msxml4.dll file in %systemroot%\System32 is version 4.20.9848.0.

@ Unc   


Thanks for that TD   


PS  on top of all this  the  is back   or should that be    

I've gone quite hysterical  ...   quackers in fact !!!     

[tuftedduck]

Calm down, woman, and have a bottle or two of home grown to celebrate.


(guys, she will be shutting down that b****** machine  ten times a day now to enjoy the freedom......we'll never hear the end of it ) 

[UncleUB]

I new she had been at the      


Last time I got that excited is when I we Kate installed Firefox. 

[Floydoid]

Glad you got it sorted Kate.

[scottiesmum]

Thank you Floydy   .....



Unc and TD  ...  As a special "thank you"  to you  I've arranged a new NC to be built ...... .....  in the Outer Hebrides 

[oldfogy]

Can I  safely  delete this  darn update and start again ??   
 If so, how  ? 

Yes you can, just use "Add or remove programs"
If you have more than one for the same update, just remove them all one-by-one.
Although it will try and download again the next time you update.

Are you still getting the notice from the shutdown button?

Also which AV and Firewall are you using.
(Just wondering if it's just the (shield) notification that windows does not recognise either you AV or firewall)
(Which can be disabled in windows, Control panel > "Security Center")
Just out of curiosity, take a look there and see if it's showing anything as not being protected.

OF .....  All is well  ....see my Eureke above  .....  I removed the offending update, then went onto the Updates site and let it do it again, it all seems FINE now.    I've learned some quite interesting things whilst doing this  ..... thanks for your interest and help. 

[oldfogy]

Sorry Kate.
We are now on page 3, I must have somehow skipped past all of the posts above on this page so did not see it.
 

As all of the Hallelujah's and Praises have been said, please add mine to them.
