Do you have any suggestions for when you have this issue but the security
patch KB908531 is NOT installed on the machine? I have having the same issue
but don't have this security patch on the machine.

But remember, uninstalling that patch does leave the security hole.

Jay,

Deleting "Security Update for Windows XP (KB908531)" worked great. My PC
is
working as it should. This includes opening saved documents. the "save as"
function and the down arrow at the end of the Internet Explorer address
bar.

The quick but unsafe way is to uninstall the security patch that's
causing the problem. In Add/Remove Programs, check the box at the top
marked "Show updates". Select "Security Update for Windows XP
(KB908531)" and click the Remove button.

For a better workaround, until a new security patch is ready, read
Steven Hui's post at
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser/browse_frm/thread/b043a7dd986dfbfb/a9fb82836c014916?lnk=st&q=verclsid+hui&rnum=5&hl=en#a9fb82836c014916.
Use the registry change in Method 1. Also read the replies that follow
that post, which give some useful advice.

These past two days, everytime I try to save a document in Word, I get a
"not responding" error. Also, when I try to use the arrow to the right
of
the Internet I get the same "not responding" error appears and I have to
reboot.
