Ouch. Sorry it doesn't do you much good Dave, but I'm happy to report Office 2003 seems to have survived the updates.

I uninstalled KB4487085 and it fixed both my problems and returned my nvidia driver to my System Tray.

I've had this happen too. I got two messages: 1 rundll32.exe procedure entry point spintf_s could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll ------------- 2 Rundll Error Loading C:\windows\system32\Nvcpl.dll Specificied Procedure Could Not be Found I also used the recommended /O switch and the results were the same. Any words of wisdom?

Interestingly, I had backed up both those keys before I deleted them. Mine were also set to "0" and everything had been working well. It may have been a non-issue for those of us who missed it. Regardless, thank you all for the input!

Thank you!

Is this in regards to the two keys I removed, WES and WEPOS? I've saved the registry entries. Should I add one back in? I did find all but the Office 2003 updated when I ran MU.

I really want to triple check this before I delete. Remove everything then with the exception of the POSReady key? edited to add Ah, okay. So now I've removed WES and WEPOS keys. edited again I manually ran the MU and it picked up 4 of the 5 updates. It did not find the Office 2003 update, so I downloaded and installed that one by hand. All went well. Thanks again, fellas!

So I've removed the WES key. Shall I leave the WEPOS and the rest of the keys here? Thanks!

Haha. I'm with you. I only use IE8 to update my XP. That said, MU found it quick and it installed without a hitch. It almost seems as if XP is becoming a reliable O/S.

That brings a tear to my eye.

Microsoft Update found all 8. They installed smoothly. I'm cherishing these last few Tuesdays as much as I can.

I've still been manually running my updates. This months picked up fast and installed equally as quick. Before I ran them I turned off my Bitdefender virus protection. All went smooth!

I got all the aforementioned updates; however, kb4463103 was prompted for again after I rebooted and checked. I downloaded it manually and used the trusty /overwriteoem switch and that resolved the issue.

Hey Dave, until you get some replies from the heavy hitters I'll add I do my installs with my virus protection disabled. Also have you tried clearing your temp folder for your updates? The last thing I can think of is check your logs for a clue.

A manual run of the MU picked up all the updates and they all seemed to install fine. However, kb4458318 popped up again after a second run of MU. I manually downloaded that one and ran the trusty /overwriteoem switch and that took care of that.

And yet it worked. Maybe it just ignored the switch? It did not give me any error messages.

dencorso really takes "complete" to a whole new level.

Yup, you've basically got it. As an admin run CMD and from the directory you've downloaded the file to, and after the filename use the switch you've typed. There isn't anything else you need to do before hand. However, full disclosure I don't know if on my PC things would have installed okay or not without the switch. I've been using it out-of-hand because I haven't had a problem any of the times I've used it, and it has helped me solve some repeating kb install problems I've had in the past.

After manually installing the IE8 update, I got all the applicable above updates except the one for .Net 4.0. That one I manually downloaded and ran with the /OVERWRITEOEM switch.

Hey Glnz, for what it's worth I gave up on MalwareBytes a year or so ago. I can't remember exactly what the issue was, but I was having some conflicts on my box. I still run MalwareBytes Anti-Exploit, but for virus protection I've moved to the free version of Ad-Aware Antivirus. It's fast and effective and no issues to date. I also shut both my Anti-Exploit and Ant-Virus down whenever I install updates.

This months were mostly uneventful. After I manually installed the ie update, I got the 9 others. After rebooting and checking the MU again it wanted to reinstall KB4230467. I manually downloaded that one and ran the /overwriteoem switch and that appears to have taken.

Just to clarify, I ran the MU first through the unupdated IE8. It found all the updates except the IE8 update, which after all the updates had installed I manually downloaded and ran myself. My previous experience had been as you suggest. First updating the IE8 and the other updates followed, but on a lark I decided to try running it as-is and got everything but that one.

I ran my MU manually and got all the updates Bersaglio mentions except for the IE8 one which I needed to download and run manually.

Yup. I was starting to panic too. Tuesday is a coming.

Glnz, if you're looking for something that's free and seems to be working well without conflicts you may want to give BitDefender a whirl. It's been pretty reliable for the past 3 or 4 months that I've been using it,
