Ellen,
Update kb905915 (previously kb896688) is causing your problems. I'm out
here trying to find the solution too. It also breaks Microsoft's Baseline
Security Analyzer 2.0 and the Tech*Ed 2005 DVD and InstallShield 10.5.

Good luck

I don't know if it helps but there is a new update that seems to deal
with this issue

I should also point out that you can use Add/Remove Programs in control panel
to remove those updates. If I remove those updates, the products I mentioned
earlier work fine.

Best regards,

Ellen,
There is a solution and as of last night, it has successfully fixed 3
machines. There has been some threads in here referring to OLEfix (which
contains OLE_fix.reg). It appears that something has removed some settings in
the registry. Thanks to the MVP who has been posting this information like
crazy.

The *.reg file looks like this:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0000031A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
@="ClassMoniker"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0000031A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\InprocServer32]
@="ole32.dll"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0000031A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\ProgID]
@="clsid"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\CLSID]
@="{0000031A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"


The question was asked if this 'fix' re-opens any security threats and the
response was 'No'. I can't guarantee that statement is true...I ran across a
Microsoft bulletin that stated that Monikers where being disabled in IE and
this registery entry referes to the "ClassMoniker"...could just be something
totally different.

Good luk:
