Windows Update told me there was a criticle update. I
installed it. I went back to windows update to make sure
there weren't any others. It listed the same one. SO I
restarted my computer then went back to windows update. I
installed it and restarted my computer. I went back to
windows update and the same update is listed.

OS version: Windows 98
IE version: 6.02800.1106CO
 
Joey,

Look in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel to see if 823559 is
listed . Next, check to see that the files of the patch match the ones
on your system :

27-Jun-2003 02:19 2003.1100.5426 311,864 Html32.cnv
27-Jun-2003 02:19 2003.1100.5426 116,288 Msconv97.dll

If it's listed in Add/Remove Programs and the files on your system match
the ones of the patch then it is installed but not being detected by
Windows Update. Either uninstall it from Add/Remove and manually
download a fresh copy or , you can attempt to edit the registry to show
it as installed. Incorrectly editing the registry can make your system
unusable . Suggest you first uninstall it , temporarily disable your
antivirus program, and then manually download the patch to your Hard
Drive from here:

http://snurl.com/2xk0
or
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...dd-9e86-4956-94f5-b6e020348569&DisplayLang=en

Now, with your antivirus program still temporarily disabled , install
it. If it still is not being detected as being installed by Windows
Update and is listed in Add/Remove Programs AND the files match, I'll
give you instructions on editing the registry. The important part is
having the patch installed ... ignoring the prompts to do the update
again is secondary, but annoying.

I reinstalled the update w/ Norton disabled and it is now
listed in add/remove.

html.cnv is in windows/options/cab and program
files/common/microsoft shared/textconv and is the correct
version

msconv97.dll is in 3 directores. windows/options/cabs and
prgram files/common/microsoft shared/textconv and is
correct. HJowever te version in program foles/microsoft
activesync is not the correct version. It's version is
200110900. However because it is for actie sync I do not
know if that is a problem

And a new problem has arrived now that didn't exsist
before. When I hit scan in windows update it goes to 100%
and hten that is it. It doesn't say there are files ot be
downloaded or there are no files to be downloaded, It just
says "Windows Update is looking for available updates...
100% complete"
 
[Crossposted to WinUp NG, as OP cannot crosspost using the web interface.]

Joey, see...

Scan quickly reaches 100% and displays "There are no updates available"
message / log file lists error 0x800C0008 or 0x80072EE4
