Hi,
yes this is a know problem. Install MDAC From here [1] again, run the automatic update thing and you should be not prompted again.

Fix doesn't work for me either.
The file on the MS update server is newer than the one available through this link and consequently the system will not update to an older version.
However, the current file on the server for KB832483 is 0 (ZERO) bytes and I think that it why it continues to cycle through without updating successfully.
Hi Jens,
You old Suessmeyer you!
I was about to reply congratulating you on getting rid of that verdammt update which the MDAC installation sorted.
However, rather than having a nuisance, I now have a real problem; on shut down, my computer reboots at the stage where I would expect to get the message "It is now safe to turn off your computer" .
Any suggestions?
Bis Bald,
Tom
Jens,
All is well.
Your update fixed that KB832483 problem.
The rebooting on shutdown was, I believe, self-inflicted.
I had ticked the Advanced Power Management box in the Display settings earlier.
Unticking it, and removing my USB pen drive for good measure, allows me to close down normally again.
Thanks again,
Tom Johnson
Hope you already got this fixed, but just in case you haven't, or for future reference, try my solution on this other thread here:

HI Thanks again. Even I had the same problem and I seem to have fixed it using your solution / description. Thanks again.

I wonder if you are running this on an old win 95 machine updated to 2000 with Ram increased from the original 32MB to 128, 8G hard drive added to the original 3G one and the old STB card replaced by Voodoo3?
If not count yourself lucky! though it is fun.
I wonder if I should set up a newsgroup for owners and users of the Dell DIMENSION XPS H233?
They are a breedv apart!
