I just uninstalled KB891711 through Add/Remove Programs (which had
been unchecked) and downloaded and installed today's KB891711. I rebooted and immediately checked the task list. While KB891711 wasn't listed, Tsc was. What is Tsc? I checked it in Google, and can't find it. But Tsc wasn't in my task list until this update. Beth On Tue, 12 Apr 2005 23:20:34 +0100, "Mike M" wrote: Gary S.

Run MSCONFIG and look in the Startup tab for anything that mentions TSC.
I find a few things that might run as TSC, like this, for instance: http://www.childhooddiseases.org/community_tsc.html Or, perhaps it's "Terminal Services Client" which lets you log in to a Windows NT/2000/XP system from a remote location. If you don't know why that might be there, suspect malware. I can't see it being any part of KB891711, though. Or, it might be Trend Micro's "Trend SysClean", perhaps? -- Gary S.

[Non-Win98 newsgroups eliminated from crosspost]
Taking the write-up at face value, Len, I'd install 891711 on top of what you've got now. We don't know what manual fixes MS had you perform yesterday. For all we know, today's release might include some last-minute additions to what you did manually. (None of us had any notice that 891711 was going to be re-released today.) I suppose you might call 1-866-PCSAFETY again about this but unfortunately I'm not sure you'd get anybody on the other end who'd be able to give you an informed, straight answer. Should something go amiss after installing 891711, a 'Scanreg /restore' should be able to "undo" things. In such a scenario, choose a boot post-dating the manual changes you made under the MS tech's direction. 890923 is an unrelated, Cumulative Security Update for IE6 SP1. -- ~PA Bear Leonard F Kiesling wrote: pa, i don't know where to post. but i followed your lead in win update site. thanks for all this info! yesterday, 4-11-05, microsoft walked me thru a removal process in the registry, & deleted the bad executable file. after reading thru recent posts, my thinking is to uninstall the kb891711 update, & use the windows site to install the updated version. as i'm writing this, my auto update popped up. went to WU site. says i need kb890923 & kb891711. should i uninstall the old kb891711 thru add remove? & then install these 2 from WU? thanks for all your help! len kiesling "PA Bear" wrote in message ...

As others have said, KB891711.exe is out of Ctrl-Alt-Del, but STILL in
MSInfo32, Software Environment, Running Tasks. It appears to be working. I did completely uninstall the bad one first, even deleting the empty folder it left behind. That folder is now back with the same two files back in it. Everything is back. Seems to be working! No BSOD! Please convey my deep appreciation to that [MSFT] guy, Jerry Bryant.

thanks for reply! there were a few deletions of registry sub folders, & not individual values as viewed in the right pane of regedit. they were (to the best of my memory) Run- RunServices- windows- they all had the minus sign as viewed. i DO recall the minus signs, & Run- was definately the first deletion. don't recall the start of the paths. after changes were made on machine yesterday, 4-11, i turned it off. on today, 4-12 & still running. will the changed scanreg /restore be of 4-11's date? also my thinking was to uninstall the old first, as others have. your direction is clear to leave old one installed. i may call the pcsafety # anyway. if i do, i'll gladly post info! i have always appreciated your help!!! thanks, len kiesling "PA Bear" wrote in message ...

The most recent backup Registry for your system *should* have been
created during the first boot today. HTH. I don't think it makes any difference whether you uninstall the old version before installing the new one, with one caveat: If you disabled the old KB891711 using MSCONFIG, before uninstalling it or before over-installing the new version, then that disabled item will remain in MSCONFIG as a disabled item. Such items (disabled ones) are found in Registry Keys like Run-, RunServices-, or "Disabled Startup Items" folder in the Start\Programs menu. -- Gary S.
