Failed Critical Update/ Windows Update in Security http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20431271 en Sat, 05 Dec 2009 11:50:02 EDT Sat, 05 Dec 2009 11:50:02 EDT Re: Failed Critical Update/ Windows Update http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20432328 auggy : It is possible that the scripting files did not properly install when you installed IE7.

It is also possible that the scripting files may have been over-written with an older version as might occur by the installation of a third party program or manually installing an older version of Windows Script.

There is a good discussion of the problem in the following link:

Anyway, glad you got it fixed.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20432328 Sun, 04 May 2008 23:17:49 EDT Re: Failed Critical Update/ Windows Update http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20432228 dolphins :

Are you running IE7 on Windows XP SP2?
Yes, IE7, XP SP2 is what I have installed but I run Firefox.

Is there something I missed?
Something somebody or some thing missed, apparently:

As auggy See Profile just noted, as well.
How is it that Windows Update let my versions get out dated?

»www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta···ylang=en

Installing Windows Script 5.7 should ensure that the scripting components are at the latest version.

You should then not need KB944338.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20432079 Sun, 04 May 2008 22:18:06 EDT Re: Failed Critical Update/ Windows Update http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20431974 dolphins :
