I have recently installed (4/16/06) a number of Windows Updates. After
completion I notice that there were a couple of problems:
1.) In Windows Explorer the left pane of windows explorer(directory tree)
would only display the 1st level of the directory struture. All lower levels
could be acccessed in the right pane by double clicking on the folder. When
the "+" was clicked int the left pane nothing happened and the hourglass
cursor appaered but never went away.
2.) In IE 6.029 with SP2 web sites could be accessed by selecting from the
list of favorites however, when typing the address in the address bar nothing
happened.
Another rather curious symptom was that on the computer I use at home with 5
users defined - 1 user did not see the above problems, all others did. When I
unistalled one update (KB908531) the problem went away. The other updates
installed at this same time were:
KB890830, KB911567, KB912812, KB911565, KB914454, KB911562
I installed the updates one at a time once I found the problem so I know
that KB908531 is the problem item.
Since I bought Windows thru Dell with my computer I haven't found an easy
way to report this to Microsoft for possible solution (without paying that
is). Has anyone seen/heard or have any understanding of this problem.
If I'm in the wrong discussion group I apologixe in advance. Looking forward
to hearing/reading your commenst
