final "fix" for this update? Will all users have to go diddling in
their Registries to get beyond this?

Internet Explorer 6 crashes after you install security update 942615 on a
computer that is running Windows XP Service Pack 2

If none of that works, turn off your anti-virus and anti-spyware programs and
uninstall KB942615. Then reinstall it and then turn them back on.

Thanks for the KB946627 link. I'd tried the the anti-virus/
anti-spamware OFF thing in December when this all broke -
and it didn't help. This KB946627 did the trick, though. It's
surprising and disappointing that Microsoft didn't include
the KB96627 fix within the KB942615 update. What are all
the grannies and normal people to do? This is a dereliction of
Microsoft's duty to its users.
