Re: Word saving conflict with hp scanjet 5590



System restore deleted a number of security patches, not just this one.

Turn the Auto-update function back on. Let Windows update. Then uninstall
the problem update (which is not MS06-015) but 908531. (I was wrong in what
I wrote. 6-015 talks about the problems with 908531 and how to fix them.)
You can uninstall it using the Add/Remove programs Control Panel.

Then change the Auto-update settings to be semi-automatic, to download but
to ask you before installing. Don't let it reinstall this update, but do
keep others coming in.

I would guess that you have some other software, besides the HP stuff, that
is causing problems. Keep an eye on the article (check every week or so) for
further revisions.

Thank you Charles. I saw your earlier post on a different thread. It did
install the updated version of MS06-015. It helped some but not enough in
the "saving" function. MSWord still locks up if you try to identifiy a
folder beyhond the first layer to save the doc to. I used System Restore
to
go back to a "pre MS06-015" date and turned off the auto-update function.
Obviously not the best solution but the only one that works at this point.

after you install security update MS06-015
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918165

If you aren't comfortable with editing the Windows registry yourself,
then
go to http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll down to
Item
No. 383 "Hewlett-Packard's Share-to-Web software - Fix". Download and
run
the script to automatically modify your registry as described in
KB918165.
You may need to temporarily disable your antivirus program in order to
run
the script.

A revised version of the MS06-015 update was released last week that
supposedly interacts better with the older HP and nVidia software. You
can
download the revised update from
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-015.mspx.

Some people may suggest that you uninstall the MS06-015 update, or rename
the c:\windows\system32\verclsid.exe file. Doing either of these things
will leave your computer vulnerable to the security issue described at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-015.mspx. You
should
only uninstall these if the revised patch causes the same problems and
the
registry edit doesn't help.

Using OfficePro 2000, after HP scanjet 5590 software is installed, Word
locks
up if I try to save a Word file. Word opens, cretaes and prints a new
file
OK, it just will not allow "Save" or "Save As" to function.
