I have a client who allowed Windows Update to provide the update

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...


How to use Google (to search for the symptoms before you post..)

Search using Google!

(A google/google groups search would have given you this solution:)

Your solution was incorrect.
MS06-015 is known to cause some issues with some software.
The solution is here:

For "discussions" on it - actually search for it - because they are already there.

The revised update still does not resolve all the problems. I still cannot edit my HP wireless keyboard control panel applet to change what five of the Internet keys do. The "buttons" tab is missing with the revised KB908531 update installed. It reappears when I uninstall the update. HP chat suggested system recovery, which gets me back to the factory-shipped default -- not a satisfactory option!
