kb891711 > blue screen error

Windows 98, security update kb891711 is the cause of a blue screen error.
This appears on the ctrl+alt+del list. I have found that ending the task will
allow me to get on the "net". I don't know how to turn it off until a
correction is made at windows update.

Is the blue screen error a fatal exception error that you get while signing
on to the internet? Also, at what point do you do the ctrl+alt+del? Is it
when you have the blue screen error?

If you continue to have problems after installing the KB891711 Win Update,
temporarily disable it using the msconfig/Startup checkbox for KB891711.exe.
This will prevent it from launching at Startup, while Microsoft works on a
fix.
You can confirm that it is not running using Task Manager, or any process
viewer.

Redwing,
After I figured out what was causeing the error. (because it was the only
thing that had been added to my windows 98 system of late) I've been ending
the kb891711 task as soon as I have turned on my PC. Last night I took it off
of the Start-up. That seem to have taken care of the Blue Screen error. The
kb891711 seemed to want to block my ISP. Thanks for the responce.

Jack,
Thanks for the info. I am not very PC savvy yet but I'm learning.

I've received a request from the team that's working on the
KB891711 issue. They would like everyone in the USA who has had problems
with KB891711 to call 1-866-PCSafety (1-866-727-2338). If you can help
them with some info, they say they're close to reproducing the
problem--first step toward solving it. I have asked for, though not yet
received, assurances that callers will be taken more seriously than has
been reported thus far.

(According to at least a couple of people, when they called PSS they
were told that KB891711 wasn't a critical problem on Win98 and to just
uninstall it. KB891711 deals with a very *serious* vulnerability,
affecting pretty much all Windows systems, and anyone who can't get
patched decently should don at *least* a dozen condoms before journeying
out onto the internet.)
