Has anyone heard any updates on this? I want to install the latest
updates but surely don't want to go through what I did the first time I
installed them.

yes I have had the same problem since this last update.
Let me know if you hear anything on a fix for this.

I see there are a number of postings starting on 4-13 (see below) -
How can one let Microsoft know there was a major problem with the last
windows update - I see no options other than paying to email or call
them???
apparently KB908531 messed things up. Where does Microsoft post
information
about workarounds to this - especially how to do an uninstall on it????
Thanks

Suddenly Publisher 2003 won't save a file, any file. No error message
but the
program hangs up. Also I can open a file from a link but not from the
"open
file" icon. Reinstalling didn't help. I hardly ever use Excel, but
apparently it's happening there too. Virus protection is up to date.
Wordperfect works fine, it must be MS related. Help!
I'm getting the same thing. At first I thought it was my virus scanner,
but
I've shut it down and still get the issues. Reboot, spyware scan, apply
latest patches, no lucvk. Anyone got a resolution for this?

Re: MS Windows Office 2003
When saving a document with "SAVE AS" the program does not respond.
This problem started after some "upgrades" were automatically installed
as the computer was being shut down.
I can open a file (exel, word) if I go through Microsoft Explorer.
However, I
can't open a file from the program itself (word, excel).
Does anyone know the status of the KB908531 problem?
This was a security patch that MS released this past Tuesday (4/11), and
on many machines it is breaking both IE and all MS Office applications.
Removing the patch fixes the problem, but:
-It leaves the security hole that the patch fixed open
-If you have automatic update turned on, you keep getting "nagged" and
have a yellow splat in your system tray
When is a "fixed" KB908531 expected?
Users are reporting that uninstalling KB908531 solves the problem.
Microsoft is working on it.
Use the Control panel - Add/Remove programs, and be sure and check the
box "Show Updates"

Each time I try to navigate to a document on my hard drive or a
network
drive, the Office 2003 application (Word, Excel) seems to freeze up
and I
have to use task manager to end it.
This began today after the user had automatic updates installed.
