IN Win ME, there is one more ESSENTIAL thing to note
THE 911562 PATCH FOR MDAC2.8RTM DOES NOT WORK!!!
It breaks Help & Support, amongst other things.

Best advice is upgrade to MDAC2.8SP! from here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
then visit WU again for the new patch - which works properly with the SP1
files.

sorry - meant to add a little 'editorial' to the earlier post, and got
carried away!

This problem may have been caused by the 911562 update released a couple of
months back - even if not, the cure is the same - download the MDAC update,
install it and go to Windows Update.
