Re: "Save as" always says "not responding" folders won't open

I went into Add/Remove programs in the Control Panel and do not have the
patch KB908531 listed. I figured that is the only place it would be listed
under if it was installed onto my machine.

How do you know that it is not installed?

In the Install/Remove programs dialog, be sure that Updates in checked.

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.
