Security Update for Windows XP (819696) An identified security issue in Microsoft DirectX could allow an attacker...... etc.. This Message popped up though Automatic Update notice on my PC some weeks ago.. So after postponing for a while I eventually downloaded, installed and got a message that installed was successful.. couple of weeks later, saw the same message again.. For a minute, I was not sure if it was any different because I remember seeing DirectX update through other notice.. Eventually, I thought perhaps I was wrong and applied the thing again.. Same process, everything was fine.. And today, same damn message popped up again along with MS03-026.. that is (823980) to do with Blaster worm.. I intend to apply this at some point but am at a loss what to do about 819696.. Searching the net, it seems this reoccurence has happened to few people.. Just not sure how to get rid of it.. Some have applied DirectX related release of some sort.. Any opinions..

I've been having a problem with asf files. Some of you may have seen me post about this on Ihub. Sorry for the duplication. I can hear wav files on my computer but not asf files. I am using W98 and I have Windows Media version 7 installed. I did have Real One installed also but I uninstalled it. I also had Windows Media version 9 installed but thought maybe that was the problem and I went back to version 7. Since that didn't help I am going to upgrade again to version 9. When I had it before I had the box checked to be able to listen to all files but I still couldn't. Major part of the problem (at least I think) is that my husband still likes to use AOL so we have that on the computer. Something tells me that the problem starts there but I don't know where to look. Thanks for any suggestions. Sue
