Windows Update just MURDERED Internet Explorer

Okay, Last night Windows Update ran when I shutdown. It dinked around again
with something this morning when I booted.

Now, whenever I launch IE, the frame appears then immediately disappears and
pops up a file dialog asking if I want to save "navcancl" from "ieframe.dll"
because IE is incapable of opening this file.

Any idea how to fix this?

Also, a collective "What the hell?" -- this stupid OS bothers me with
security popups for the most trivial of details and yet automatically
upgrades it's components to the point of no longer being functional, and that
doesn't deserve asking my permission!

Try uninstalling the KB931768 update.

Uninstall KB931768 and you should be back to normal. A lot of people
posted similar issues yesterday.

Turn off AU, and on next "Patch Tuesday" wait a day or two, see if there
are any issues, then patch manually.

And what preparation did you do before downloading and installing the
updates?

What preparation did *I* do?

I didn't do anything. I didn't even know there were updates. My Vista
operating system decided last night when I went to shutdown that it, *Vista*,
would make the decision to install updates. It neither asked my permission
nor informed me of what updates it was going to install.

This makes no sense in an OS that bothers me constantly with authorizing the
most trivial of details and yet decides to perform major surgery on itself
without asking.

This worked.

Good grief, doesn't Microsoft test these things first?

I've not had any problems since installing that patch

Not everyone has. But quite a few reported issues in various groups, so
there must be some validity to it. I don't have IE7 on my system, so I
was unaffected also.

Disable the IE7 phishing filter under Control Panel, Internet
options, Advanced, Security.

KB931768 fixes something in the previously fixed phishing filter,
but ironically breaks IE7 unless you disable the phishing filter.

Uninstalling the KB931768 and flagging as 'do not prompt to install
again' is another "solution", though I think that one is even worse
than just disabling the filter. While waiting for better solutions...

I wonder what the common denominator is. Here's my system with the
same IE7 prob: running XP SP2, all patches up to KB931768 /
MS07-027, Office 2007 with desktop search (i sort of suspect that
one... though disabling the add-on did not help...), Google toolbar
installed, PC not on a domain but just workgroup, user is in Users
group, other accounts in Power Users group don't have this problem,
does not depend on IE7 start up page (blank or URL), disabling the
phishing filter solves it.

No wonder it didn't work. Maybe you should have disabled Auto Update and
done some preparation before allowing the updates. Standard procedure is
to do a clean up and defrag. Then set a System Restore point. Then
disable your AV's auto check and THEN go get the updates.

I didn't have any problem with the update and phishing is one of the
first things we always disable on new installs.

No fix can ever be fully tested especially in these days
of countless hardware and software configurations.
There has to be a compromise.

Considering there were probably millions of different
setups updated the other night I'm grateful that the
successes haven't been reported.

Well of course you don't have a prob. Didn't the guy you just replied to
talk about a "fix" being to disable phishing filter???? Do you really have
such bad reading comprehension or do you just insist on posting a "works
for me" everytime a problem is presented around here? I think people around
here would get better advice from Dr. Phil than Dr. Frank. <snort>

You're joking right? Is that how much Windoze users are supposed to trust
MickeyMouse updates? Geez. And people really try to use this toy operating
system to get any work done?

I don't think it's possible, (could be wrong!) for you to shove your
bald head up your arse any further than it already is.
Yet your keep trying!

It's good advice to uninsall the update, and I bet most of us have done just
that. But clearly this is just a stop-gap measure. MS has indeed determined
that a number of fixes are needed with IE. A MS MVP needs to step up to the
plate and make sure the big guys in software developement comes through for
their end-users.

Respecfully,
Mary Kaspar
