Re: KB942615 December IE Cumulative Update - Crashing IE

Microsoft said they are working on a fix for the problem with URLMON.DLL
which is causing errors on some computers. The technical support
representative said I should wait until the fix is available from the
Microsoft Update website, and keep KB942615 removed and hidden until that
time.

This behavior started immediately after installing the December security
updates.

That's a known issue, see
http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=5shfsmF197blgU1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
for a workaround.

I un-installed KB942615 IE Cumulative Update, restarted and everything is
back working fine.

Please let the critical update install again and apply the workaround.

Windows XP SP2
IE 6

That might be fine for sophisticated computer people like you Freudi, but for
the vast majority, Microsoft has to issue an apology and easy to fix update
for the masses.

Now, please re-read my posting linked to above. Read what I've written
in MS's direction. Read what I've written to workaround the issue. And
afterwards read the Security Bulletin MS07-069 mentioning the security
holes which are trageted to be fixed with KB942615.

After having done all this, you may want to call your "MS Philippines
Tech Supporter" rubbish and re-think what you've written in my direction.

No, I'm not related to MS anyhow else but as a user of some of their
products.

Bye,
Freudi
