DOS ain't dead

no more EMS support in XP (Announce)

Tito,

Open the Control Panel and select Install/Uninstall programs, check the [x] Show Updates box.
Brows down and select KB2724197, click uninstall.

This will remove the update, but if you have the update on Auto, it will download and install it again.

Set the Control Panel->Updates to Download only.
The yellow icon will then show when updates are available.

Here is the tricky part (you need to install it again):
Click on the icon and select advanced (I think, or not auto)
You will now see a window of available updates to install (in this case only one).
Uncheck the [x] KB2724197 update and click install.

The yellow icon will now disappear.
