    Keeps reinstalling same security update

    My computer has been installing the security update from August 14th 2007
    EVERYDAY since the update was released. How do I get it to stop?




    Also, after periods of non-use, my screen turns off and won't turn back on,
    even though I set the power options to "never turn off screen." The part that
    bothers me is that the screen won't turn back on so I have to restart and
    lose everything that I didn't save.

    Help please

    Thanks in advance for your replies.

    Chenalex,

    Is the Update still showing up in the available updates screen? If it is, then is is failing to install and will attempt to keep reinstalling it until you hide (remove) it from the available updates list. This tutorial will show you how.

    Windows Update

    Disable any anti virus Programs when installing windows updates. I found this out after vista kept trying to install KB937287 over and over. As soon as I disabled my anti virus, it installed correctly with no problems. Hope this helps

    Turning off my anti virus worked for installing KB937287. I was having the
    same re-installing issue on my Dell XPS laptop. See my post "Windows updates
    on a Dell XPS Laptop" dated 2/15/2008 for details.

    Thanks Melkesideck
