Jeannie,
I had th4e same problem, and had trouble getting rid of it on a Win
98SE system. It took several tries, but the following three steps worked for
me.
1) Remove the update via Control Panel / Add-Remove Programs
2) Download the update manually via
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823559
3) Re-boot to safe mode,
4) Run the update via the manually downloaded exe file.

It took two seperate tries, but I no longer get the notice that the critical
update 823559 is needed when I perform my normal Windows Update.

I also recomend checking out
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsupdate&tid=04592770-1ea5-45ce-ada9-a2b4f8d97493&cat=en_US_b63e5983-4416-4298-b7eb-fa0f5ee5b60d&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-us&m=1&p=1

(rather long URL) That has information that allowed me to check the
regisdtry specifically for the update that is causing problems. Be patient,
follow the steps, and I believe you get this fixed as I did.

Thank You Chris for your information about update 823559. Unfortunately I am
not brave or computer illeteriate enough to try what you have suggested.
Therefore I will continue to download this every time I get the notice, which
is at least once a day. Who knows maybe a simpler way may pop up on this
message board one day. Again Thank You.
