I just had the pleasure of fixing a computer with an update problem, it would not install KB936181 no matter what was done..
I found this guide on some page;
How to fix the KB936181 Windows Update problem:
Click Start -> Run, type cmd and click OK
Type ren %windir%\System32\msxml4.dll msxml4.old, and press Enter
(Ignore any errors stating that the file could not be found)!
Next, type exit, and press Enter
Now, simply visit the official Microsoft KB93618 download
link and manually download and install the update
Restart your computer and if all goes well, your
KB936181 update issues should be history.
This sounded quite sane, so I decided to try it… However after renaming the file I tried to run the update and got the three options 1) Modify 2) Repair 3) Remove, and I decided to go for the remove option, after this I reran the advertisement from the update server (SCCM WSUS) and viola it installed without a glitch.
As the user said, what a stupid update 😀 I could not agree more..

The long awaited “Microsoft Security Essentials” is released 🙂 and as the beta looked promising and the company I work for has been using “Forefront Client Security” (the corporate version) for a year now, I was looking forward to trying this out…
Not available in your country or region
You appear to be in a country or region where
Microsoft Security Essentials is not available.
Thank you for your interest in Microsoft Security Essentials.
Shown in 9 languages (of cause not in Danish), well bummer… However as I have access to a US proxy I just changed the proxy settings and things brightened up 🙂 So I am now the happy ‘owner’ of “Microsoft Security Essentials”, the thing about this is it’s free 😀
And should you get the same annoying message stating that it is ‘Not available in your country’, then you might want to take a look at; www.torproject.org TorProject is mostly an anonymity solution that allows you to browse without being tracked by IP etc, however they also offer the possibility to select which breakout/proxy you wish to use, and here you can select a US breakout and you can fool the MS server into letting you download all the same – you may also need to modify your IE settings to show a US regional code etc. but it should all be possible..

At last, Tomorrow is the day when a new Sci-fi series airs 🙂 Yeah… it is the new offspring of the Stargate saga named “Stargate Universe” – and I do have high hopes for this.. The other two series Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis both was great, and the new replacement will hopefully be equally good. The plot as far as I know is that one of the Stargate builder ships is discovered, and upon a group of Stargate personnel investigating this they are caught on the ship as it travels the universe, lets see how that turns out…
So if you are in the US, you’d better reserve 2 hours on Friday October 9th 2009 for some Sci-fi 😀
