Jerry Bryant,
I do appreciate MS re-working this 891711 issue. Thank you to MS. Let me take this opportunity to ask you to pass this along as well in high hopes this problem will be addressed once and for all. It's a big problem for 9x users and I can't imagine it's anything but embarrassing for MS to leave this bug the way it is. We even have people making webpages talking about and trying to help people get around the problem. Please show this link to whomever is in charge as it outlines the problem I'm speaking of pretty well, which has been talked about in the 9x group for 2 years now, and so please ask them to finally fix what the problem is, please, thank you. http://www.frankprovo.com/win98ie6filesproblem.htm Rick Jerry Bryant [MSFT] wrote: Microsoft has received reports about issues with KB891711 on Windows 98, Windows 98 SE and Windows ME.

Either KB891711 or KB888113 was causing a *black* screen of death every time I clicked on a link in IE or any other browser. After I used System Restore to remove those updates, the blackouts stopped happening. I'm using Millennium Edition. -- Regards from John Corliss |

I never tried reinstalling just KB888113 to see if the problem returned. By the way, on the off chance that it might be an issue with my graphics setup, here is what I have: P4 1.9 ghz with 256 mb of RDRAM. As for the graphics card, it's a Leadtek WinFast(R) A280LE with an nVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 chip running in an AGP8X slot. Driver is from nVIDIA, is dated 07/03/2002 and the version is 4.13.01.3100. -- Regards from John Corliss |

I'd just like to add my support to Rick's request, without making any other comments, since the issue has already been discussed in these newsgroups extensively, and the seriousness of the problems is well established.

X-Posting to Win95 and WinME NGs eliminated.
Rick, I don't think MS05-002/KB891711 has anything to do with the issue about which you post. (As you know, my position is that IE6 with SP1 installed has fixed your issue for the vast majority of Win98 users.) -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (Shell, IE/OE) & Security Mastering Newsgroups in Outlook Express http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/...ewsgroups.mspx Rick Chauvin wrote: Jerry Bryant, I do appreciate MS re-working this 891711 issue.
