Explorer 6 Update KB942615

[Andre]

All these hot fixes might be fine for computer geeks and I thank all the
people working on this with all my heart, and I'm lucky to have known just
enough to find and remove the culprit update and I'll leave all the geeky
stuff to the rest of you....but I thinking of all the folks out there that
know just enough to start their PC and forward joke e-mails, and the repair
shops that will be swamped....so the bottom line is for Microsoft to post an
update fix soon on the Update page for all these poor folks that have their
P.C. on automatic updates.
Again I thank all you folks that have lots more knowledge than me, working

PA & Others,

Here is an article that explains that KB and what it does.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-057.mspx

This link explains Known Issues.

It appears to me MS knows about this problem and there is a Hotfix for it.

PA Bear, sorry about the rant before...

Here's an update. On a support call with MS, we removed the patch and
we are working fine. I will post information as I get it.

However I'm not suggesting it. I'm waiting to hear from Mr. MS....

Did you reboot (possibly twice) after reinstalling 942615? Were you
prompted to reboot after installing it?

Correct and unless something is wrong with the MS links that is what I

Now the two links above are identical, however it takes you to two different

Information section if you scroll down to Internet Explorer 6,"Windows XP
Service Pack 2" there is a link to the right for MS-07-057 which I see now
has been updated. Sorry for any confusion, can only post what I see and
click on :>

Even though MS07-069 states no Known Issues, MS better get on the ball as it
is causing problems all over these groups.

Thanks, Kurt.

NB Lurkers: 942367 applies only to IE6 running in WinXP SP2.

Please try testing http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942367 to see if it
fixes
the issue.
Use the online request form to have the fix sent to you.
Thanks

Bear,
Correct and unless something is wrong with the MS links that is what I
posted. If you Google KB942615 it shows this link.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/942615

Same as the KB in question right?

Then from this site if you click...
IT professionals:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-069.mspx

It takes you here..
General Information
Executive Summary
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-069.mspx

Now the two links above are identical, however it takes you to two
different pages...weird. From the link under IT Professionals in the
General Information section if you scroll down to Internet Explorer
6,"Windows XP Service Pack 2" there is a link to the right for MS-07-057
which I see now has been updated. Sorry for any confusion, can only post
what I see and click on :>

Even though MS07-069 states no Known Issues, MS better get on the ball as
it is causing problems all over these groups.

It appears to me MS knows about this problem and there is a Hotfix for
it.


X-post to IE General and WU newsgroups for maximum exposure. Please
continue the crosspost in all replies. THX

Yes, please let us know what MS PSS has to say about this.

PA Bear, sorry about the rant before...

Here's an update. On a support call with MS, we removed the patch and
we are working fine. I will post information as I get it.

However I'm not suggesting it. I'm waiting to hear from Mr. MS....

I'm totally confused. The discussion in this thread has been about
KB942615 which was in the Dec. 11 patches. The hotfix you referred us
to KB942367 which is dated Nov. 14 and doesn't refer at all to
KB942615.

Is KB942367 the "fix" to the problems that seem to result from
KB942615?

Maybe or setting the registry entry mentionend in MSKB article KB942367
may be sufficent. See also
http://groups.google.com/[email protected]

Bye,
Freudi

Thanks PA, I think I'm pulling out of this thread. It's getting long, to
many MS07's, to many KB's and not enough Beers :>)

I am experiencing the same issue as this thread is discussing.
I have several fully patched Windows XP SP2 machines with
IE6 installed that crash on urlmon.dll on a seemingly random
pattern. I am curious which, if any, of the fixes discussed in
this thread worked. I would greatly appreciate it if someone
who was testing these solutions on their machine would reply
to let me know what fixed it for you. Thanks again!

Uninstalling the patch worked wonders on my machine.
(I had to go to C:\WINDOWS\NtUninstallKB942615\spuninst
and dbl-clk "spuninst.exe" since it wasn't listed in Add or Remove
Programs.) I don't care to diddle in the registry or use a script
that I may have to back out later, so I'll just wait for Son of Patch.

[Elroyskimms]

I followed the registry editing steps (and requested the hot fix).
There were several Yahoo pages that crashed 100% of the time and after
modifying the registry, the crash has not happened since.

That's Part I. What will happen in Part II when Mom and Pop
