Security Update KB832894

[Ted]

I am running IE and XPPro and updated it with the
newest "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6
Service Pack 1 (KB832894)". The system rebooted and after
that my fonts stopped displayed. All applications are
working properly but any dialog or file/folder name is
displayed in the "Marlett" font only, which is unreadable.
I tried to restore to my previous version but the restore
process failed. Any ideas?


Thanks,
Ted

Hi

Try this:

From Run in the Start menu, run the following:

%windir%\ieuninst %windir%\\inf\q832894.inf

Hi Torgeir
Many thanks for that. This so called "security update" has been
driving me nuts for a week.
The registry edit that microsoft recommend for removing it did not
work for me.
My path was.. c:\windows\ieuninst c:\windows\inf\q832894.inf
Thanks again!
Neil

I have the same problem must likely, but I am running XP Home Edition and the answer with the run command didn`t work for me.Is it a way to do this in my windows edition.
