The one that was sent to your desktop was just wrong. Hard to tell why. You can always download the 32bit version for your desktop. On my system it dates from June,6 - so it's already pretty old. Strange that it only shows up now. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/windows-update#post-39329 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 19:25:55 +0000 FMZ 39329@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I checked my other laptop, it is a 32-bit and does has this update installed, I find ths very strange. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/windows-update#post-39328 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 19:20:02 +0000 whs 39328@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Well, That is a new one. Just hide it. It is of no use to you. Their server must have made a mistake. That's what makes life interesting.

But make sure you check the little box in "services" on the bottom left to keep the MS services alive - very important, else you will come to a screaching halt. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/windows-update#post-39303 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 18:14:32 +0000 FMZ 39303@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>WHS What is "safe boot mode"? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/windows-update#post-39302 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 18:11:45 +0000 whs 39302@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Download it normal and install it in "safe mode" or "safe boot mode". </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/windows-update#post-39299 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 18:06:09 +0000 FMZ 39299@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I am unable to install the Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista (KB950759)</p> <p>Any suggestions?</p> <p>Txs in advance </p>
