In Windows XP, KB936181, a Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 may repeatedly appears in the Windows Updates list even after being successfully installed. This could happen if one of the System files are corrupted in your Windows XP.

1. click Start – Run and type “cmd”

2. Run the following command and ignore any error messages.

c:\> ren %windir%\System32\msxml4.dll msxml4.orig
