I.E. 5.5 SP2 and KB834707 Problems

Hi All,

Wondered if anyone had a similar problem (I know I'm running older versions
than most) and if anyone has a resolution to it.

I've recently updated to I.E. 5.5 SP2 running on ME and everything appears
fine... I updated with several patches including KB834707.

I now cannot get windows update V4 to run unless I uninstall the patch, then
it runs fine... and tells me I need to download it!

I get the windows update searching message then the page stalls... after a
while I get a message indicating that the process has not completed and press
OK to wait or cancel to reload the page and try again... with the same result
and the same message... endlessly. Any comments or suggestions appreciated as
I don't want to run without the patch as it's a critical.

P.S. tried unload and reload of iuctl.dll, moving microsoft to trusted zone
etc... with no effect.

Cheers, David.

Hello

There is a specific kb834707 for your version IE 5.5 SP2 for win ME.
I would try that one if you have not done so.
Download the whole package and install.
