Default Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 SP1 (KB823353)
See this KB article:

A dialog box with no text appears if you reply to a news message in Outlook

For a reason yet to be determined, Windows Update is offering OE updates in
the wrong order to Win2k SP4 and WinXP SP1 users. Here's the fix:

1. Uninstall 'Windows 2000 Hotfix - KB897715' via Add/Remove Programs and
reboot.

2a. Assuming MSOE.DLL is now v6.00.2800.1409 or earlier (i.e.,
v6.00.2800.1123 or v6.00.2800.1106), install (KB)823353 manually using the
file downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

2b. Optional: Reboot and install KB887797 via
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...6-a1a3da675baf

3. Reboot and (re)install (KB)897715 manually using the file downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...d-28502b3d2518

Dear Groups,

I keep getting this as a patch I need to download and apply whenever I go
to Windows Update. Each time I follow the usual download and install
routine it says that its been applied successfully. But when I restart
my pc and go to the Windows Update site and it still says I need to
download and install this High Priorty Update.

1 - Can I test if the update has been applied and if my machine is secure
or not?

2 - If its secure, why does it always say that I need this patch?

3 - If its not secure, then is there a fix for this so I can make it
secure?

I think if I can find out the answer to number 1, whether the patch is
getting applied properly or not, then I can decide what to do next.


Some details about my system:

* Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 and all high priority updates and patches
are applied.
* Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 and any updates are applied.
* Outlook Express 6 and any updates are applied.


Thanks for reading my request for support,
Regards,
Derek.
