Hi,

Yesterday my computer suggested I install the latest update, kb932823
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932823). The update is to fix a problem for
those using IME, which happens to deny the ability downloading files using
IE7.

Although I do not use IE7, nor IME (I use the Latin alphabet) I decided to
install the update. After that, I had problems with my Outlook (2002). I
instructed Outlook to minimize to the System Tray. When I double click on
Outlook, it appeared in my Task Bar, but if I select Outlook, it disappears
from the Task Bar.

So I decided to remove the update. This morning the update installed itself
without my say so. Again I had to deinstall it.

What can I do to not be pestered by this install? I do not need it, the
document after the link I supplied at the start of my post suggest you would
not need to install it, if you do not use IME. But it is really trying hard
to get installed.

kb932823 -This problem occurs if the Japanese Input Method Editor (IME)
is the default keyboard layout. Did not this tell you the Hotfix was not
for you?

Uninstall the Update and then select Start, Control Panel, Automatic
Updates uncheck Automatic and check "Notify me but don't automatically
download or install". When notified commence the process by selecting
Start, Help and Support, Keep your computer up-to-date with Windows
Update and opt for a Custom install.

Hope this helps.

Hi Gerry,

Thanks for your reply. In answer to your question, no, the update did not
mention the hotfix was not for me. And I do not have the feature selected
that is needed for advanced text services (as suggested in the link I had in
my original post). I think this is one of the strange things in the update
process. But it seems solved now.

Abel.

(Apologies when this post is posted twice).

I was quoting the Cause of the Problem from the link you posted. I see
Advanced Text Services is mentioned in the Workaround you can use if you
do not want to install the Hotfix.

From your post I take it you have solved the Windows Update problem.
Have you also solved your Internet Explorer problem?

That's too cryptic a reply for me <G>!

You can use an alternative browser to Internet Explorer but there are
some tasks for which Internet Explorer is needed. What are you exactly
saying regarding Internet Explorer?

This so-called update renders my PC unusable. Not only it affects Outlook
but I am unable to use IE 7!!!!! I've had to uninstall the patch twice, and
now I am set up for manual Windows updates.

It is very frustrating. Something needs to be done to really fix the fix!
