Thanks for the info!! I have a bad habit of relying on the ol' standbys and
don't think to check for a more appropriate newsgroup for my question. I did
check for the IE7 newsgroup and didn't see one...didn't think it would be in
"general". I will go check it now.

I am having problems with this also on IE 7, except it just says it cannot
open webpage. I thankfully have Firefox as a great backup so not really
too
much of a pain.
Does anyone know if MS is planning on an update to fix like next Tuesday?
If MS do find solution/fix it would be a good idea to keep an eye on the
correct group, that is windowsupdate
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsupdate
and/or somebody may come up with a fix before MS find one, so
look/search/find for the KB number in the update groups and see if there is
a solution - it has certainly popped up quite a few times as troublesome.
A fix may never get a mention in here, the IE6 group
or as you have IE7 it could get a mention here in the correct IE7 group
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general
However, when it comes to getting an update to download and install, there
are so many ways of doing it, not all work for all. Often it is a case of
trial and error.
What Frank S has said is often very true - often it is the simple solution.
It has worked for me for some time now and I always download first and save
to disc all that are on offer from the relevant MS page, having taken the
list on offer via the yellow shield and not from the WU Home page.
I then disconnect from the net, disable ALL AV/Antisp/Firewall etc - open
each update and install one at a time, in the order they appeared from the
yellow shield, with a reboot after each one.
I always reboot whether or not the offer is there - a few months ago MS
forgot to include a reboot after an update and it caused a problem.
After install check in Add/Remove to see if they are there.
Don't forget to enable all your security progs before connection to the net.
But do read through the posts concerning KB942615 - if the above does not
work then another solution might.
When it comes to updates these days, it seems that there is 'ore than one
way to skin a cat' as they say :-)
Good luck
Antioch
