Help Desk: Vista Update

If that doesn't work, and you aren't running sql server, you can tell windows to ignore the update.

1) Open the start menu and type "Windows Update" in the search box, run Windows Update.

2) Click "View Available Updates" under "Install Updates"

3) Find the offending update and uncheck the box next to it.

4) Right click on it and select "Hide Update"

5) Close the window.

It'll stop bugging you.

If after doing that, should you want to install the update afterall, just run the "Windows Update" again and on the left side click "Restore Hidden Updates" and it'll become available again.

I think I already tried that, but I will try again tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.
