HTTP 400 - Bad Request

[Mary Berg]

When I click on certain web links I get a HTTP 400 - Bad
Request error message The page cannot be found. This is
happening on several installs of Internet Explorer 6 sp1
with Q824145. One site that consistently has the problem
is http://maps.msn.com. Enter in an address and get a
map, choose the Print icon. When the new browser window
comes up I receive the error above in the window. Any
ideas as to what is happening?
thanks

Hi Mary,

Thanks for your posting here.

As you mentioned the problem occurs after you installed Q824145. Please
install the latest IE security update released (MS04-04) below.

If the problem still persists, I recommend that you try the following steps.

Right click Internet Explorer from the desktop
Click Properties
Click the General tab, click Delete Files and the Clear History button.
On the General page, click the button Settings
Click View Objects, and then delete all downloaded program Files.
Click the Connection tab, click your default connection Settings.
Write down all settings, then clear all the check boxes.
Click the Advanced tab, click Restore Defaults.
Uncheck Enable third-party browser extensions.
Click the Security tab, click each item, and click Default Level.
Click OK.

What is the result now?

Regards,
