KB908531

[Helen Arnoldus]

I downloaded KB908531 on 4/15. Yesterday I downloaded a few updates
including KB908531. When viewing my updates on the Windows update site, I
noticed that I have 2 KB908531, one for 4/15 and one 4/25. The Add/Remove
folder only shows the one for 4/15. Why are 2 listed on the update site and
only 1 in Add/Remove? And why are there 2?

The one on 04/25 is a fix for the one issued on 04/15. You need both
and you are likley to get even more as the latest April fixes has
created their own problems.

1) Address Books won't open in Outlook Express (kb917288)
2) FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions require special installation
(kb917627)
3) Outlook Web Access doesn't work in IE 6 or Vista (kb911829)

and others I couldn't care to list them here.
