Crush said:I was having the problem caused by the KB908531 update. I was thrilled to
come here and find the solution. I deleted that update and the problem was
fixed. Until it was automatically downloaded again the next day. And the
next. And AGAIN!!!
This is getting annoying. I hate to turn off automatic updates.
Would somebody please tell Microsoft to quit sending me this piece of s***
file?
On which OS? Where are you seeing it? E.g. if you are an administrator
on XP and seeing this happen under AU you should learn how to decline
updates. Hint: use the AU Help. /How does Automatic Updates work?/
Hmm... evidently that Help file isn't particularly well written or well indexed.
Tip: Enter in the search tab: decline* OR check
and doubleclick on: Stop Windows from notifying you about updates you
have already decided not to download or install (hide updates)
I suspect that they may have thought that the purpose of the checkboxes
in the Custom UI was so self-evident that they didn't have to document
it particularly.

(1) MS plans to re-release MS06-015 on 25 Apr-06 to address known issues
associated with the first release of the update:
"When the update is re-released, it's going to be very much targeted to
people who are having the problem, or people who have not installed MS06-015
yet. That means if you have already installed MS06-015 and are not having
the problem, there's no action here for you. Windows Update, Microsoft
Update, and Automatic Update will have detection logic built into them to
only offer the revised update (which essentially includes the reg key fix)
to those customers who either don't have MS06-015 or are having the
problem."

The Registry edit referenced in Resolutions section of 918615 above can be
implemented by downloading:
HP's Share-to-Web software - Fix (Line 383, Right)
(good for WinXP and Win2K03, but not Win2K)

To use: Download the .vbs file and save it to your hard drive (you may want
to right click and use Save Target As). Double-click the vbs file. You will
be prompted when the script is done.

www dot mozilla dot com and get Firefox, it's much safer than ie against
spyware, malware, virusses, pop-ups, etc. And above all it works!
I'm also working for schools (in IT) and I recommand firefox to everyone...

Deleteing KB908531 returned IE6 to normality. Thanks guys! However, Windows
has just done a new update and was trying to upload KB908531. Surely
Microsoft should have pulled this update untill the bugs are ironed out, then
released the bugfree edition on a new KB number.
Is no one listening to the customers out there in Microsoftland?

Here's another solution as I sent to our IT this morning. I found that
Microsoft released an updated version of the MS06-015 security update.
(Vulnerability in Windows Explorer Could Allow Remote Code Execution
(908531)). (Published: April 11, 2006 | Updated: April 25,2006)
1. Go to the following and download the following file:
Windows2000-KB908531-v2-x86-ENU.EXE (Published: April 11, 2006 |
Updated: April 25,2006)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...65-3A5E-4497-AD05-2CDE8E7B5E95&displaylang=en
2. Install this file on the affected pc.
3. Rename the profile that is having the problems in the "Documents and
Settings" directory.
4. Restart the pc, and have the user log back onto the pc (ultimately
creating a new profile)
Hope this helps.

I've been able to solve this by restoring my XP system to its state five
minutes before the update. Once the computer has been restored to just before
the update, everything works fine once again. I just wish that Microsoft
would stop sending this botched update. It's annoying and time-consuming to
have to spend a half-hour of every evening restoring my computer to its
preimproved state.

No such problems here on IE6.

You are aware that you replied to a really ancient post, yes?

I am sure that your issues are not relate do the ones in that old post. Have
you installed any third party browser "enhancements"? I never encountered
any MSIE6 problems, nor MSIE7, now that I have it, resulting from updates.

registry key, paste it into Word first and remove any paragraph marks in the
middle of the key (there was one in the middle of the key when I did this,
since it wraps to a new line in Stephen's message).
Surely paste into Notepad or another text-only producer, not a Wordprocessor which add all sorts of character thingies and codes. Just being safe. Well spotted, though.
