Hmm - I think the guys in that thread are barking up all sorts of wrong
trees.
All the AV sites have re-written their code (where applicable) for the
patch, and run happily on all the PC's I've thrown at them with the patch
installed.
You're probably better asking this in the dedicated windowsupdates
newsgroup - or even phoning MS direct, as support for Security patch
problems is free.
What concerns me, though is the apparent 'delayed action' of your problem -
the path was installed early April, and it's now late May, yet the problem
has only just surfaced. This would tend to indicate that it's not the patch
itself, but a third-party 'something' that's interfering..... what have you
installed onto the system lately - either hardware or software??
Have you had any software problems? any virus/malware problems??
I assume that you've uninstalled all early versions of Sun Java? (NOT just
installed the latest version - which doesn't uninstall the older ones!)
Did you check the licks off the MS page? - specifically

Hi Noel
Thanks for the reply

to
resolve.

unfortunately can't find microsoft forum page where KB912812 is discussed
at
length. This all happened in April. Only came accross the problem
yesterday
though.

All the 'Eolas' patch does is require that the user make an extra
mouse-click - it has not generally caused any problems in WIn9x (although
it
did cause problems for some users of XPSP2)
there is almost certainly something else wrong with your PC - usually the
settings in the Security/Privacy section are the cause of such problems.
Can someone help please.
