Windows Update KB971486 wants to install over and over ??

Hi,

For the record I am using a Compaq Presario AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3300+, 2411MHz/1.93 
GBs RAM, running Windows Xp Home, SP3., with IE8.

This morning I downloaded and installed all the monthly Security Updates released 
from Microsoft.  

About an hour later I noticed I had another update notification in my taskbar so 
I installed it too.  Then I discovered it was one I had already downloaded and installed 
(KB971486) earlier in the morning.

Even now, about six hours later, I still have a notification in my taskbar that I 
have an Update ready to install and it is still the same one I have already installed 
twice today.

I tried submitting this same question to the Microsoft Windows XP forum this morning 
but when checking their site about 30 minutes ago I discovered my question hadn't 
even been posted and I noticed there were no other posts for today either which is 
strange in itself.

Regardless, is any one else experiencing this problem or have any idea what is the 
problem?

Thanks and regards,

Phil
