Re: Problems with (KB956391)

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

After noticing some problems with my Verizon home page opening much
slower and different programs not working right...

@Ron: What programs weren't "working right"?

1. Is the machine otherwise fully patched at Windows Update *and* Office Update (if Microsoft Update isn't your default update source)?

2. Assuming it is, do you have Microgaming Download Helper, (Husdawg) System Requirements Lab (www.husdawg.com/systemrequirementslab/Home2.html), and/or PhotoStockPlus Uploader Tool (www.photostockplus.com) installed?

If YES for #1 and NO for #2, installing KB956391 shouldn't be causing any problems.

Also
Visit <http://windowsupdates.microsoft.com/> and do a CUSTOM scan...
Then you can select (or deselect and look at the details and HIDE) the
updates you want.

system restore. Going back to Oct.12 my computer was fine -just prior
to Oct.14 patch Tuesday.
Now after installing those updates one at a time discovered that the
update : ActiveX Killbits for Windows XP KB956391 was the one with ill
effects to my computer. Now that this update is not installed any more,
and i'm choosing not to install it, How do i stop the yellow shield in
my system tray and
also tell WU
not to show me this update? This update doesn't allow you to click in
the box to stop showing this update.
