Review of KB891711.EXE issue

X-Post to WinME General.

Jack, would you and the others please consider pinging your Lead(s) about
this problem? Several of us are trying to 'kick it up a notch' by doing so.
Thanks.

Hello, Gary, et. al.,

WinME machines
The only item in msconfig/Startup related to System Restore under WinME is
the *statemgr, the State Manager responsible for supervising the
launch/execution of both System File Protect and System Restore.
Unchecking *statemgr in msconfig will disable both functions.

There is an extensive discussion of the KB 891711 problem, particularly in
...windowsme.general, where it is yet quite uncertain what the important
contributing cause/s is/are. An earlier suggestion that only early AMD
cpu's of 700 MHz are responsible appears not to be true.
Another suggestion is tentatively implicating certain BIOS's, as seen in
an earlier Win Update problem.
Other less probable causes include the chipset and the video
adapter/driver.

We believe we have ruled out NAV and Live Update as the culprit.

Ten four, Big Guy.
I suspect MS has heard plenty already.
