unable to install security update for flash player (KB923789)

I am running MS XP SP2 and my automatic update from MS keeps trying to install "security update for flash player KB923789". I am running spybots&d but have put microsoft security on the ignore list. Also run sygate firewall, but have turned it off and the update still won't install. The rest of the automatic updates seem to install OK. Any ideas?

I'm not really sure if this will help you in your situation, but here goes:

A few months ago I was having an "already been installed" problem with flash. Every time I went to a site that required Flash to view any videos; the site would invariably produce an error message saying that I needed to "upgrade" my Macromedia Flash Player. When I'd then upgrade and return to the video sites; I would continue to receive the same exact error over and over again!

In any case, using the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller fixed this problem (in a "flash" so to speak) and consequently allowed me to install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player (at this link) without any problems; and I'm now able to view videos again.

As I said, I'm not sure if this is exactly "the fix" that you need, but it's worth a try!

Good Luck
