The failure was that Terillian WebPage reports at start up "no such
interface" their solution as can be seen on their site is to uninstall the
above security update.

The security update installs a new version of DHTMLED.OCX (6.01.9231) and
installing WebPage after doing the security update revertes this back to
version 6.01.9102.

I did not get a pop up asking about replacing files and I have not ever seen
this on Windows 89SE.

It is true that everything seems to be working on my system but the security
update can not be working as I now have the old version of DHTMLED.OCX.

I have discovered with no hint from Microsoft that I can uninstall this
security update . The uninstall is under Add remove programmes and is listed
as Interner explorer Q891781 as internet explorer had not been mentioned in
the MS documents or how to uninstall or that it was called "Q....." I missed
it.

Uninstalling then reinstalling KB891781 replaced DHTMLED.OCX with the safe
new version and WebPage now no longer works and that is how I will leave it
until they come up with a proper fix.

I have learnt that with Windows 98SE I will have to check my files with
System file checker after every install by looking at version numbers AND
that just because I have updated with all the critical updates does not mean
that they are all functional. I understand there is a security checker from
Microsoft that actually checks that updates are installed AND functional for
XP but not 98.
