BSOD and BSON, so removed 'buggy' Mar 8 05 security update kb891711 (WinMe)
On Mar 9 2005, windowsupdate successfully installed:
Security Update for Windows Me (KB888113) Mar 8 2005 Security Update for Windows Me (KB891711) Mar 8 2005 Before fully loaded, IE6 and Moz cause 2 types of BSOD or BSON (Blue Screen Of Narcolepsy = cycles thru "press any key to continue") Error: 06: 09CF: 00000776F Error: 0D: 0967: 000000E24 Error: 0E: 0187: BFF8E648 Error: 0D: 09CF: 00000B995 Error: 0E: 0187: BFF8E64B To end each of these cycles, I restarted computer. ---- Other net apps? Lucomserver (NAV update) and Xnews load fine, but I didn't try OE. ---- Computer gets to the internet to via LAN router. After disconnecting the Ethernet, all net apps successfully loaded and "successfully" made attempts to connect to the net (google/tool/bar clicks worked in IE, Moz) During all of this, I saw that kb891711 is in the 3-Finger-Salute list. (Ctrl + Alt + Del) and BSON and Win3 style err screens, gave clues: msgrvr32 vsmon (vsmon is an exe of ZoneAlarm free) krnl386 Now reconnected to Ethernet, I restarted computer, and all net apps ran OK, reached the net. (Why now?) But when I clicked an EXE in a folder on the LAN, BSONs cycled again. And, the computer wouldn't start without entering BSON cycle. Eventually I caught the computer during a startup with the 3 finger, and was able to kill zlclient, nav, sbserv (sbserv shows only during startup), etc from the list. Then I uninstalled kb891711 (Control Panel, Add/Remove) Computer ran fine for the rest of the evening. ----- epilogue I used Qfecheck.exe after uninstall. Shows only 3 dll, zipflfd, dzip32,dunzip32, probably because I disabled the zip ability of windows find. I think Qfecheck is supposed to verify registry entries match file versions of updated files. Googling shows that the equivalent (?) of kb891711 has been updated to w2k and XP for a couple months. And since win9x is now "unsupported", I predict this fix will never be fixed. |
