2. If you are prompted for an administrator password XXXXX confirmation, enter the password XXXXX provide confirmation.

Next, click Start, then Control Panel then Add or Remove programs and check the box to show Windows Updates. Find the Kb923191 update in the list and click on it then click Remove.
