Got this on 16 different machines in my office. Anyone
have a clue on what it is and how to fix it?
 
Yes, it is the Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool (KB873374)
update. It attempted to install from Microsoft's
Automatic Update Service and could not complete because
it was installed without a member of the administrators
group installing it. The only way I have found to fix
the problem so far is to log into each machine with an
administrator account and run the update directly from
the Windows Update site. This has been an enormous
inconvenience for me since I have about 100 Windows 2K
boxes to fix. Thank You Microsoft!!!

If anyone out there has found an easier way to install
this update please post.
