I installed my regular monthly updates last week and having done so I noted a problem with an ancient version of CorelDraw that I use in preference to later versions which do no more for me but take an age to load. This problem only occured with my version of XP Pro, not XP Home which I run on my laptop. Shortly after this I noticed the dreaded yellow shield appear again announcing further updates. These also installed but the update shield refused to cancel (after the usual shut down and reboot) and required the installation process to repeat ad infinitum. In the end, I got fet up and went to the Microsoft update website which again stated that I needed to update. I then used this site to carry out the update and this worked. My CorelDraw problems also disappeared at the same time.
P.P.
