Win ME
In trying to experiment with different settings I mucked up my system and
had to do a full restore.
Windows Update keeps telling me that I need to download two critical updates
that I have already downloaded. In installation history they are showed as
"successful" twice!
They are:
Windows Media Player Script Commands (KB828026) and
Security Update for Windows (KB819696)
I've even downloaded the Media Player fix from a different site.
Seem to remember that someone had a similar problem recently but can't
remember the solution (if any).
Help please.
TIA

The other update is listed on the left column.
Seems there is an easier way, but I can't remember it either.

Thanks for your link.
It worked fine with the DirectX 9.0b problem.
Still no luck with the Media Player.
There were no "Media Player Hotfixes" or "Windows Components" in Add/Remove
Programs. I even looked in the Windows Set up tab, no Media Player. Perhaps
that only appears in XP?
Went into Regedit for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft Updates....., no
Media Player. All I have listed is DataAccess Q329414-25
Ran WMP9 set up again, rebooted, updated rebooted, still no joy.
Strange thing is that most updates prompt you to reboot but this one doesn't
(although I do anyway).
Any further ideas from anyone?

folder and they have become corrupt, or else if the trust database for
the machine has become corrupt. After doing some research, I have listed
some troubleshooting steps for you to complete.

First search and delete the "WUTEMP" folder, or removing the contents
in that folder.

1. Click on Start/Search and then select All Files and Folders
2. Type "wutemp" without the quotation marks
3. Make sure that the Look In option indicates "Local Hard Drives".
4. Click the Search button
5. When the search is complete, delete all copies of the WUTemp folder

Now connect to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and see if you can
install the updates.

If this does not resolve the problem, the trust database for the machine
has likely been corrupted and must be recreated. This can be achieved by
renaming the existing "Catroot2" folder and let the system regenerate a
new one.

1. Click on Start, then My Computer
2. Open your C drive
3. Open the WINDOWS folder.
4. Open the System32 folder
5. Right-click on the "CatRoot2" folder and choose Rename
6. Rename the folder to "CR2OLD"
7. Close all open windows and now try to install the Update.

Thanks for your reply, Unk.
Looks like I'm in trouble.
1. Search for wutemp in (C:\) Files and Folders showed no results.
2. C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 has no CatRoot2 folder in it, only a folder
called "Drivers". However, in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM there is a folder called
CatRoot.

6. Rename the folder to "CROLD"
7. Close all open windows and now try the Update site.

No luck.
Renamed folder, downloaded update.
Rebooted.
Downloaded update again.
Rebooted.
Update still there.
New Catroot folder has been created, should I delete CROLD?
Thanks for your time and effort.
