Re: The update is a downgrade!

I have a client who allowed Windows Update to provide the update over the
weekend, and ever since, she has experienced the following three symptoms:

- Cannot browse with IE by manually entering a URL. IE hangs.

- Cannot navigate her hard drive from Save As in any Office product or
during an Insert File operation in Outlook. System hangs


We traced a 100% correlation to the presence of verclsid.exe running as a
process. At times, there were more than one running. Removing the process
fixed the problem, but only until the next time that one of those
operations was attempted, at which point verclsid was replanted in memory.

My fix was to simply delete the file from her SYSTEM32 folder -- a
solution that I am not altogether comfortable with, despite her repeated
claims of my being a miracle worker.

I'd like to see some discussion about this. What is the intended purpose
of this process and I wonder why the behavior my client's Vaio desktop was
so counter to that intention. And I wonder if there is an implication to
my quick fix...

Where have you been? It's been discussed and cussed and several fixes
posted here. Most popular seemed to be to roll back the update and wait for
the next one.
