KB896688: Problems with Internet Explorer and Navegation

I work on a ISP, and I recieve many call today for navegation troubles.

I read some forums and many people that the solution is "Remove KB896688".

Is that true?

it all depends on what problems the person is having
what do you mean by (navegation troubles) ?
with me the patch caused me active-x, flash and scripting problems.

We deployed KB896688 at our Windows 2000 office and at least six people
had problems opening new Windows in IE6 and javascript errors. After
some research, I found the following batch commands fixed these
problems (try the last three lines first since I think those are what
fixed it):

@ECHO OFF
REM Fixes IE6 new window problems that are happening after security
updates
regsvr32 /s urlmon.dll
regsvr32 /s Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 /s Msjava.dll
regsvr32 /s Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 /s Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 /s Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 /s Browseui.dll
regsvr32 /s Shell32.dll
regsvr32 /s msscript.ocx
regsvr32 /s dispex.dll
regsvr32 /s vbscript.dll

I'm assuming MS is going to update the patch very soon but this little
script certainly saved us some headaches.

I have WinXP SP2. When I installed all the updates the other day(13th I
think) my IE was screwed
up. There were no drop down menu items on top toolbar showing but they would
drop down if I scrolled over them, my start menu lost all its small icons,
any folders I went to showed icons only and I could not change it back to
list like I normally have them, and a few other things were "changed" I don't
remember. So after reading the posts here, I UNINSTALLED all of the days
updates ( I had 8 of them) and then reinstalled one by one (this time with my
AV off) except I did not reinstall KB896688( only downloaded and saved it).

What I finally did was went to KB896688 on MS downloads site and then DL it
from there to SAVE and then decided to try it again installing from my own
computer and now my IE and computer all works fine. I also made sure I had
my AV disabled this time when saving it and when installing it with nothing
else
running or open. I think what happened when trying to DL all 8 from WIN
Update site, something was corrupted in the process of DL or installation.

If you scroll down here on this discussion board you will see many folks are
having all sorts of problems with this months updates from MS especially I
think if you try to take them all from the WIN Update site using Express and
doing all of them at once.

I have found during this past year that many of the updates coming in on the
Auto Update site give problems. Either downloading or installing or giving
error messages or screwing something up on my computer.

So I have generally taken to seeing which ones are there to be updated and
then finding them either on a MS download site or go to the MS Updates
catalog http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp and get
them from there.

Another trick that works for me is to download and SAVE them first to a
folder I keep them in and then Install them one by one later. Many folks
claim you should also keep your AV off while installing and /or downloading
them.

Good Luck.
