Mike.
No, have never used Symantec Live Update. Don't have Norton installed
. With regards to KB 891711, a visit to the update site doesn't reveal
a requirement to install the revised patch. However, I may try
uninstalling 891711 and returning to the update site, just in case
this is the culprit.
Thanks
