Windows Download - Problem

[Guest]

Hi

Over the easter weekend my computer has automatically updated itself with
the Windows XP updates. However this has messed up the computer (cannot save
word files and generally running slow).

I was told to use the system restore option but this was turned off. What
can I do to fix this problem??

Is there another update to correct this??

Thanks

This is a result of a bug in the MS06-015 security update. Here is the automated fix.

Go to the following website:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Click the link on line 383 (right hand side). This will download the HP's Share to web software-fix file.

Double click the downloaded file to run. This will automatically fix the problems caused by the Security Update MS06-015 as detailed in "Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install security update MS06-015".

Special kudos to MVP Kelly Theriot for automating this fix.
