Thanks for this, especially the time you put into investigating, and sorry it's taken so long to reply - so many other projects keep arriving that windows imaging had to take a back seat. The image was built using RyanVM Integrator. I know, there's an RVM forum too and I guess I should have asked there first, really, but I'd been a non-posting 'lurker' here for about 18 months and only recently found RVM. Anyway... Others on RVM had found this problem and a 'de-integrator' add-on for the troublesome KB955759 was released, which fixed the problem. Once it's de-integrated, it can be installed as a special hotfix under RunOnceEx. Many thanks again.

Thanks both. I've checked; aclayers.dll and sysmain.sdb are the version / byte size -X- lists. I'm afraid I'm not experienced enough (at all) to understand half the contents, however attached are what were the "KB955759.log" files from two machines that I have recently imaged (renamed as .txt files to allow upload). The machines they came from are both Dell Optiplex 780's; one is a tower chassis, the other is the ultra small form factor. Thus far I have not used this image disk on any other machine types, but I suspect it's not hardware-dependent. Cheers 780MT_KB955759.txt 780USFF_KB955759.txt

Hi all, I hope this is the right place to post this... Has anyone found a fix for the continual reappearance of the KB955759 update? (This doesn't happen on all XP SP3 installs, but when it does it's terribly annoying!) Googling for this I've found several instances of the same advice (eg here - 955759 advice, which generally points to a Microsoft "FixIt": support.microsoft.com/kb/954157 The MS FixIt doesn't fix it, at all. I have created a .cmd script with the code MS suggest, to rename and remove the .dll files associated with Indeo codec; this does the intended job if run from RunOnceEx.cmd (it does nothing if run while windows is logged on, obviously, as windows refuses to rename .dlls in the System32 folder). However, when the machine boots, even though it no longer has the .dll files, KB955759 still pops up in the MS Updates critical list. You can tell it to install as often as you like, but 10 minutes later, up pops the yellow system tray shield again, telling you KB955759 is ready for install. The "fix", such as it is, is to tell MS Update to stop telling me about this update after the first install, but I'd rather use a proper fix rather than a bodge that could be broken at anytime (i.e. by restoring hidden updates). I am wondering if it is conflicting with some other MS update, but I've not found any suggestion this might be the case as yet. Any other suggestions gratefully received. Cheers.
