Applying updates

[Ben Shulman]

I want to apply the update identified as Q827667, to
resolve a problem with javascript functions. However, I
get a message saying that IE 6 SP1 is required. I do have
that; in fact, if I try to install SP1, I get a message
saying a later version is already installed. I am stuck in
Catch-22 here. Can anyone help?

Re-install IE.
Otherwise get ready for more quirky stuff!

For example, when you attempt to log on to, or use, a secure banking Web

Most likely you don't need it.
That is a relatively old patch which was (as the article mentions)
superseded by 824145 for the MS03-048 cumulative update.
That in turn has been superseded by other cumulative updates.

Check your version of mshtml.dll. I suspect you will find that
is is greater than 6.0.2800.1269.
