I have an XP Home system (Dell Inspiron B130 laptop), SP2 fully patched
through last month.I ran the July patches last night (went to Microsoft
Update and selected Express). According to MS, the only updates I needed were
the Malware Removal Tool (KB 890830), the .Net Framework (KB928366), and an
XP update (KB 936357). I also ran the Root Certificate update.

All seemed to install without difficulty. I did the reboot requested. Logged
back in Microsoft Update which showed all patches successfully installed
(confirmed under Add/Remove Programs). I turned the system off.

This morning after working with the system, I tried to put the machine into
Standy, only to get the following message:

Service .Net Framework v 1.1.4322 Update is preventing the machine from
entering standby. try stopping this service and try again.

Thinking that perhaps the issue was that the patching had been done under my
admin profile, while Internet browsing this morn had been under my normal
user profile, and that I had not tried entering standby as an admin, I shut
down and rebooted under my admin profile. Trying to Standby, I received the
same message.

I welcome any suggestions as to how I might fix this problem.

Sincerely
 
Which antivirus software is installed ? AntiVir has been preventing some
folks' systems from entering Standby due to it's interference in getting
the .NET updates to install:

If AntiVir is not installed then whichever AV is installed is also
preventing the updating process from completing :
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/1184863828

In short, go to Start > Run > type in

msconfig
Click OK
Click the Services tab
Put a check next to " Hide all Microsoft Services "
UNcheck all of the boxes related to the installed AV
---------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: If this is a security suite that includes a firewall, make sure
that you Enable the native Windows Firewall via the Control Panel
** prior to Closing the System Configuration Utility **
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Now click the Startup Item tab
UNcheck all of the boxes related to the installed security suite/AV
Click Apply, Close
Restart the system
That *should* allow the update process to complete now

If the update installed successfully, then go back into the System
Configuration Utility and check the boxes previously unchecked.
DISABLE the Windows Firewall if you enabled it due to a 3rd party firewall.

Dear MowGreen,

Many thanks for your very detailed reply.

Let me first preface my reply with the following caution: since the days
when I was connecting via dial-up and would get up to *5* notices from my
antivirus program that it had intercepted attempted viral attacks *while*
logging onto the server (before I had even authenticated onto the network), I
do NOT get on line without antiviral protection. If necessary, I will
download the program/patch, disconnect from the network, disable AV, run the
install, reenable AV, and, only then, reconnect.

Having said that, I am now completely confused. According to both the
Microsoft Update website and add/remove programs, the .net framework v1.1
patch installed successfully. You are saying that my AV program (which is
Antivir) will have prevented that. So, if I cannot believe the Microsoft
Update website/add-remove programs to correctly report my status, which
files/file versions-dates should I check to be sure, once I have
uninstalled/reinstalled the patch that it is, indeed, updated? Where do I go
to manually download the patch for installation later?

The real state of my 'updatedness' is now my current issue. For some
mysterious reason (the Update Gods?), standby capability returned yesterday,
for both my admin and normal user profiles. The only activities I engaged in
yesterday were browsing, use of Excel, and insertion of my USB flash drive to
copy files off the laptop. If one of these acts restored standby capability,
I am at a loss to account for how.

Again, many TIA for all your efforts to assist

Sincerely,
biblio1542

Hi Biblio,

I had a similar problem and you have no need to worry. As far as I
understand it, the update is already on your computer, but it hasn't been
allowed to finish installing by Avira Antivir. You don't need to go online
for anything - remove your internet connection, follow the instructions and
everything should go smoothly. That worked for me and I was never online
unguarded at any point.

Hope that helps and good luck!

You're mowst welcome. And, I certainly understand why you are reluctant
to disable the AV while online.

Let's skip to the crux of the matter ... make sure that the Net
Framework v1.1.4322 update Service is no longer listed in Services in
the System Configuration Utility.
If it is not, then perhaps AntiVir has included a fix in their latest
update.
Since the system is no longer having a Standby issue, then that is a
possibility.

At this point it would be best to confirm that the update has installed:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-040.mspx

Under 'Update Information' click the plus sign next to
Security Update Deployment
Click the plus sign next to Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
Check the ' Registry Key Verification ' information and compare it to
your system
Below that is 'File Information '
Compare the file versions of the specific KB that was installed against
the ones on the system.

If you need to redownload the update, the above Security bulletin page
has links to the MS Download Center for the KB that is needed.
I certainly hope that the update is now successfully installed and that
you don't have to take that route. <w>
