Default 891711/MS05-002 "fixed" update: *sigh*

......Quote...........
Full fathom five thy father lies,
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong.
Hark! now I hear them, - ding-dong bell.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,

| The previous release of KB891711 caused a BSOD when I tried to run
the
| scandisk/defrag program, GEODisk2. The "new improved" version
causes
| the
| same problem. I have tried it both with the old and new versions of
| KB891711 checked and unchecked in MSconfig/startup and the BSOD
always
| occurs when it is checked and never occurs when it is unchecked.
| Surprisingly, that was the only problem I had with the original
| version of
| KB891711 and it still seems to exist with the new version.
|
| This is a minor annoyance as I only scandisk/defrag about once a
week
| and I
| can uncheck KB891711 in MSconfig, reboot and GEODisk2 runs just
fine.
| I
| post this just to point out that the new version doesn't fix all the
| problems that the original caused.
