NEW Windows Explorer Crashing

[vttigger10]

I know this has been on EVERY post recently, and trust me, I've gone
through them all, but this post has a new little twist.

Problem 1:


When using Windows Explorer, it locks up if you click the "+" icon next

to any folder, however, you can click on the folder and open it just
fine.


Problem 2:


When adding an attachment to an email in Outlook, windows explorer
locks up if you hit the dropdown box or click anywhere in the window.


Problem 3:


In Internet Explorer, the Address bar has become useless. You can type

in an address but it won't go there, you can't hit enter or the green
"Go" button.


We've tried the fixes such as disabling Third Party Browsers,
uninstalling SP2, even went to so far as to restore the system to a
date before this started happening.


Any ideas?

Check your event view logs for errors and warnings. Check for viruses and
spyware.

No errors, no viruses, no spyware

The "fixed" version of the patch should be out sometime REAL soon, so
I'd opt for the uninstall method, "Uninstall KB908531, KB911562, and
KB912812, and reboot. Then reinstall KB911562, and KB912812, and
reboot," and then wait for the "new & improved" patch.

Or you may want to wait for the patch that fixes the patch that patches
the patch . . . . ;-)

Have you received today's Windows Update yet?
