Re: cannot save word document



Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install security
update MS06-015

Vulnerability in Windows Explorer Could Allow Remote Code Execution (908531)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-015.mspx

For those who have Hewlett Packard's Share to Web Software, there are two
registry patches to choose from (run either one or the other) not both (I like
to give a choice):

Ottmar Freudenberger has made a patch available at:-
http://patch-info.de/WinXP/Downloads/KB908531_Share-To-Web.zip
(Note this is a Zip file and will need to be extracted. It contains a REG file
which needs to be imported into the registry)
or
Kelly has made a patch available at (identical to the 1st one):
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Line #383 - this is a vbs file and instructions on how to use such files are at
the top of the page.

If you are not affected by HP Share to Web Software, then see the post at
Aumha.net
by Maurice N, MVP Windows - Shell / User

"Problems in Windows Explorer/ Windows shell due to 908531"

If you are not affected by HP Share to Web Software then note that if you
uninstall the update, you need to check the section titled "Workaround for
Windows shell vulnerability" under Vulnerability Details:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS06-015.mspx

Also you'll need to check Automatic Updates and make sure that the update isn't
automatically downloaded - Configure Automatic Updating in Windows XP - 306525
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306525

Other known causes could be Nvidia video card - check for updates of the drivers

Every time I try to save a word document the programme does not
respond/freezes. Everything was working absolutely fine until yesterday and I
have no clue why this is happening. Any ideas please? If I send an error
report to the Windows web site I don't seem to get very far with finding out
what's happening. Thank you!
