Re: IE6 problems re KB908531 but unrelated to HP harware

Thank you, Maurice. However, I emphasise I have NO HP harware nor do I have
Kerio Firewall. I have carried out the procedures you suggested but still
have the same problem and the same responses as detailed in my original post.
Any further suggestions bearing in mind the following extracted from the
last line or so of the support link:-
"Note: If other third-party COM controls or shell extensions are determined
to cause this issue, the same method must be used to add the appropriate
shell extension."
MayI add that at the same time as IE6 failed to work all trace of my System
Restore has disappeared!

Regards,

David. DRXL44@xxxxxxx

The 918165 article mentions Hewlett-Packard's Share-to-Web software & Kerio personal firewall. If you have either, you're highly encouraged to read the articles.

If you have update 908531 AND you have Hewlett-Packard's Share-to-Web software, then do see & I'd suggest you apply Freudi's registry patch
http://patch-info.de/WinXP/Downloads/KB908531_Share-To-Web.zip
Extract the ZIP file and afterwards double click the contained REG
file. Let it import into the registry.

If still stuck with a non-functional Internet Explorer, consider using Control Panel's Add or Remove programs, and remove update for 908351.

To remove windows update KB908531, do the following:

Go to Conrtol Panel, then select "Add or Remove Programs".

Be sure the "Change or Remove Programs" is active / highlighted (at top left of window).

Then look at "Show updates" checkbox (at top). Make sure it is selected (ticked).

Once the display is populated, scroll down to "Security Update for Windows XP (KB908531)". It should be near the bottom of the list.

Click on that item. You'll see a Remove button. Click on it if you wish to have it removed.

** Before you use Add-Remove Programs, be very sure you close all your open user programs (after saving any unsaved work). After this change takes effect, and IF this does not ask for a restart, then you should do a logoff and restart of Windows.

I am experiencing IE6 problems since updating with KB908531 but I have NO HP
hardware whatsoever.

I have WIN XP Home. My ISP is AOL. I get the following message when I log
on to AOL:

"DDE server window:rstrui.exe - Bad Image

The application or DDL C:\WINDOWS\system32\mshtml.DLL is not a valid
windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette"
(ignore the quotes)

No pages will open on my AOL favourites, nor in IE favourites. My AOL
emails will open but with a "oops" message and no further copy.
