Joan,

Does Christmas come earlier in S. Wales than the rest of the world? <vbg>

Nevertheless a very merry and happy Christmas to all those reading this

I was going to wait a week (or two), but now there's no choice but "joining
the choir", in answer to you, H and Joanie and all in this group:
Thank you and
"Have Yourself a Very Merry Christmas" (the old-fashioned way)
and a
"Jolly New Year"!

Harry.

That's 'Old Bing Crosby's' favorite (oops, forgot the 'u') song also.
Very nice thing to do, thanks and have the best of Holidays too,

It is a quiet weekend and I have been researching a problematic Windows Update, KB942615,
which is crashing IE under Windows XP so I have been on Usenet doing research this weekend.
Also I have been doing some research concerning Smart Card cryptographic Services and PKI on
Vista.

As the winter comes into play, I hope to be spending more time in Usenet space.

BTW: Feliz Navidad is spanish for Merry Christmas.

I've had IE browser problems running both IE6 SP2 and IE7 on XP following
the installation of 942615. Problem seems to be related to rendering page
content and how complicated it is. For example I've crashed IE6 by
viewing KB942615 (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=942615) which is a
pretty big page with an enormous file spec section.

I understand MS to be actively tracking these problems.

Hi Mike:

So far the registry mod. pointed to in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942367 has been

I've seen the suggestions in 942367 reported as sometimes fixing the
problem but am unclear as to whether the reg mod is also supposed to help
those experiencing problem with IE7. Personally I haven't bothered with
the reg edit nor have I uninstalled 942615 which also seems to fixes the
problem. I haven't been inconvenienced that much and knowing that the
problem is being looked at is enough for me. I've virtually withdrawn
from all MS newsgroups and testing which goes a long way to helping keep
my blood pressure from going through the roof.

I hope you are keeping well and manage to get a few days break next week.
I'll finish off by wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and
leave it you to "translate" that into something appropriate to yourself.

Cheers,

Mike

OJ,

Thanks for those kind words, the Win Me NGs are now the only Microsoft
newsgroups I look at regularly and I hope to continue to be able to do so
in the new year. However I've lost all enthusiasm for testing, in part
due to most feedback falling on deaf ears, and can't find any personal
enthusiasm for Vista. As for Windows Live This and Windows Live That I
feel that Microsoft has lost the plot whilst at the same time confusing
their customers, for example, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, Windows
Live Mail Desktop, etc.. As for Windows One Care (or rather Windows We
Don't Care about your preferences) I rank this amongst the worst of kind
along with most products from Symantec.

Here's wishing you a merry Christmas and a New Year that brings you
everything you want for yourself.

Odd, I looked with Belarc and that update does not appear on my machine. I

for the next offering? I looked at the reasons for installation and I am
not experiencing any of the items this was intended to fix. I do have 6ea.
KB94XXXX installs, 5 of which are dated 12/12/07, but, 942615 is not amongst

Another question, is there any reason to keep the "blue" uninstall files,
i.e. $NtUninstallKBXXXXX$...?? I have them all the way back to 2005!!! I

Old ones ? No!

Sort folders by date. Those older than say 2 months, delete.
BTW: The folders are blue because they are marked with the NTFS Compression attribute to
save some disk space.

The patch was to protect IE from various possible malicious exploits so
I'm pleased to read that you feel you have experienced none but that's not
a reason for not installing the patch. However I find it odd that
KB942615 wasn't offered as I think it should have been offered to all PCs
running either XP SP2 or Vista but not to those running beta software such
as XP SP3 or Vista SP1. If installed it should appear in Add/Remove
Programs if you have "show updates" checked, and, as David mentioned, the
uninstall files should either be in the folder
C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB942615$ if you are running IE6 or
C:\WINDOWS\ie7updates\KB942615-IE7 if running IE7.

As for deleting the $NtUninstallKBXXXXX$... folders and their contents
this very much depends on whether you think you will ever want to
uninstall the associated patch, if not then they can be safely deleted
although I would strongly recommend that you don't delete the uninstall
files for any patch installed in say the last two months "just in case".

David,

Don't forget that if running IE7 the uninstall files will be in
C:\WINDOWS\ie7updates\KB942615-IE7 rather than
C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB942615$.

Thanks Dave!! Yeah, I knew about the compression making them show blue. I
just never bothered to dump them because space was not a factor. They are
beginning to accumulate since '05, <g>.

Whoa! Stop the show! Mike, Dave....what is this???
I just went into Windows Explorer for the house cleaning and the first file
in J:\Windows is $hg_mig$ . It is not compressed (not blue). I looked at
it and it contains all the KB's dl'd in 2007, nothing more.
Surprisingly, this $hg_mig$ folder contains the KB942612-IE7 !!! Only six
of the files have the '-IE7' suffix and none of them are the uninstall
files. Again, what is this?

Grrrr. Went back to the $hf_mig$ folder, hit Refresh and almost all of the
KB downloads now show, but, are not the uninstall files. The question
remains......

Do NOT, repeat do NOT delete the folder $hg_mig$

Look again or even better read my earlier post <g> where I stated that if
you had IE7 installed the IE7 patch uninstall files are stored in
C:\WINDOWS\ie7updates\KB942615-IE7

How about checking the box in Add/Remove that says "show updates" (top
right)? Either that or read my posts where I have already mentioned this.
<vbg>

Since you have IE7 installed KB942615 should appear as:
"Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 7 (KB942615)"
indented below "Windows Internet Explorer 7 - Software Updates"
but only if you have "show updates" checked at top right and to the left
of "Sort by".

Goodness, I can sure tell I didn't get enough sleep last night! (about to
fall asleep now)
Mike, you have the patience of Job, thanks for putting up with the likes of
me. You are most correct in all points, as usual. I did check the 'show
updates', but, the first time it did not work...when I scrolled the list,
the checkmark was removed....so, I thought the files were not there. I went
back, did it again and this time, they all appeared. And, I do have an ie7
Windows folder in blue and an ie7uninstall folder, as well. All is good.

Lordy, my brain's aching!! These Texans!! FWIW, I have it in
Add/Remove and the blasted IE7 folder. And I also rarely use IE7 at
all, so tried it to see if there was any problems......none so far.

FIREFOX RULES!! (g)

Glad to see you finally got yourself sorted out <g> mind you I never have
any problems with regards updates as long as they are the critical ones. I
install them all when they come in and so far they all stick, and like you
have never un-installed the folders they are in and don't intend to.
To be honest I've never even gone looking for them <g>
