BUGFIX: Crashes in Internet Explorer 6 under WXP-SP2 after December Patch Tuesday

Two days ago, I posted regarding the problem with Internet
Explorer 6 crashing when starting up if the default homepage
was set to "My MSN" and the page was heavily customized.

Other users chimed in to say they were experiencing similar
problems. All the problems resulted in a dialog box saying
that "Internet Explorer has encountered a serious error and
must close". If the user checked the technical info on the
error, the readout confirmed a problem with urlmon.dll.

With the help of several MVPs, other users with the problem,
and Kurt Falde from Microsoft - the problem has now been
localized and a fix has been tested and verified for the last
24 hours.

Those who are experiencing this problem need to make a
Registry Edit after the December Patch Tuesday update
installs the latest Internet Explorer Cumulative Update.
(The technical name for this update is KB942615.)

The problem occurs because the KB942615 update
installs an updated copy of urlmon.dll - but does NOT
install the required Registry Edit that applies the bugfix
so that urlmon.dll works properly in IE6.

The required Registry Entry is as follows:

---------------------begin KB942615FIX.reg--------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\
FEATURE_PROTECT_DECOMPRESSION_FILTER_FROM_ABORT_KB 942367]
"*"=dword:00000001

-----------------------end KB942615FIX.reg--------------------

Note: 1. The information within the two square brackets should
all be on ONE line. If your newsgroup reader has split
that information onto two or more lines - remove the
carriage returns so that all the info in between the
square brackets is on the third line in the
KB942615FIX.reg file, and the fourth line starts with "*".

2. There MUST be a blank line at the very bottom of the file.
Do NOT let the last character in the file end at the far
right of the last line. The registry edit will FAIL if there
is not a valid single carriage return as the last item in the
KB942615FIX.reg file.

To make the file and apply the patch:

1. Open Notepad and copy all the information between the
"Begin" and "End" lines above - from the beginning of the
word "Windows" to the beginning of the next line following
"00000001" - into Notepad. Save the notepad file as
KB942615FIX.reg, open Notepad and remove the extra
carriage returns as per Note 1 above. Also confirm the
presence of the final carriage return as per Note 2 above.
Save whatever changes to the KB94615FIX.reg file were
required to bring the file into a workable form.

2. Once you have the working file, close Notepad. Open
Windows Explorer and go to wherever you saved the file.
Double-click the file. Windows will ask you if you want
to merge the data in the Registry file into the Windows
Registry. Click Yes. Windows should respond that it
has successfully merged the KB942615FIX.reg file
info into the Registry.

3. Shut down and reboot your computer. Open Internet
Explorer and navigate to whatever web page was giving
you trouble before. You should now find that Internet
Explorer works properly again, just as it did before the
December version of the Internet Explorer Cumulative
Security Update was installed.


Comment to MVPs:

Kelly, could you please incorporate this info into one of your
Regfix files so the rest of the MVPs can point users at that
entry on your webpage - rather than require that users have
to mess with Notepad and/or Regedit to install this fix?

Thanks for whatever help you can provide.



Best I can do for now. <tm>

I'm not Kelly nor an MVP, but you may find
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...individual.net
useful in the meantime.

BTW: Rebooting Windows or logging out isn't neccessary to get
the "fix" working. Shutting all IE6 windows after or before
applying the "fix" is sufficent.

Bye,
Freudi

As much as I appreciate the help I do not understand a word of the supposed
Fix.
Can you tell us what to do in laymans language please as I am not and I
suspect a lot of others are not PC Literate.

Thanks

Hi, Peter. If you don't understand this, then you wait for the
bugfix regfile that I asked Kelly (one of the MS MVPs) to create.

Note: This work is NOT something that should be attempted by
those who are unable to read, comprehend and follow
instructions. If you aren't willing or able to deal with this
in a competent technical manner, DON'T do the work.
