Re: KB896688 repeat

Jeepers.....I guess Windows 98 users are just to be relegated to the trash
heap of planned obsolescence........along with their Windows ME neighbors!
Even Microsoft's 2nd tier tech support agrees that the only way to repair
this problem, for the MANY CUSTOMERS who are experiencing it, is to redo the
update so that it works with ALL operating systems......including Win2K03.
There should be an alert posted on the update site that this update can
knock out your Active X controls. It would save many of us a lot of time
jumping through hoops troubleshooting. By the way, making a personal issue
over a documented technical problem is a cheap shot, and not worthy of Pa
Bear, and his generally helpful approach. "Disgruntled"......because this
update is a lemon!

Guus, Marcus is a disgruntled poster here (I believe his problems are not
related to 896688) and furthermore, he's running Win98 while you're running
Win2k03 (apparently).

Try uninstalling 896688 via Add/Remove Programs and then reinstall it
manually via a download from the appropriate link here:
