SYMPTOMS
After you install security update 891781, when you try to run a program that uses the dynamic HTML (DHTML) editing component ActiveX control on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer or on a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer, you may receive the following error message:
No Such Interface Supported
CAUSE
This problem occurs because security update 891781 makes changes to both the safe version and the unsafe version of the DHTML editing component ActiveX control.
Windows XP

This is a brand new Dell. I just got it a couple of days ago. I haven't removed anything. I barely got all the programs I use installed. However, there's a default setting for automatic updates and it downloaded this 'fix' before I had a chance to turn automatic updates off and set up Custom updates at the web site.

HOT fix KB891781 is screwing up my html editor (Homesite 4.5.2). I
understand the risks of removing this, but I want it GONE. I did a
search on my pc and couldn't find it. I know how to remove it in
Windows XP, but I couldn't find the uninstall file. I couldn't
find it in the Control Panel either.

You likely removed the log files/uninstall information.
Download the update and use the /uninstall command line...
