Answer 1

When Windows Update next runs it will ask you do you want to install it again.

Answer 2

if it is an automatic update ,it should start again on start up.

if not .go to it's web site and download manually.

Answer 3

I seem to get the same message too!

I have XP but it keeps telling me to install this update which is XP Service Pack 3.

So after I download it, it tells me to back up all my files!

To be honest, it is just an update to keep you up-to date so your clear of bugs on your computer.

If your computer is running fine or you have Vista now, then ignore it. It will go soon!
