IE Script Error in OE when trying to print
in [Internet Explorer 6]

From: PA Bear on 20 Jun 2005 19:09 One of last week's patches was a Cumulative Security Update for IE (MS05-025, KB883939). If your anti-virus application was running in the background (or you had other IE windows open) when this update was installed, you may have gotten a "dirty" install which may be causing the problem. Try this: With your AV app and all other applications closed, uninstall 'Security Update for Windows XP (KB883939)' via Add/Remove Programs and reboot. In the same environment, go to Windows Update, download/install KB883939 again and reboot. To assure a clean install, your anti-virus application should be disabled and all other running processes closed before installing/uninstalling anything, including Windows Updates. -- ~PA Bear benedict1 wrote: > I did it and that didn't stop it either.

From: benedict1 on 20 Jun 2005 19:33 This is goofy. I cannot see that Hotfix with Add/REmove programs or a third party uninstaller I have. I went to Windows Update and it scanned my machine and found no updates. Now what? Can't uninstall if I can't see and I'm not sure how to force it to the surface. What is your advice, please? -- Thank you for your help, benedict1 "PA Bear" wrote: > One of last week's patches was a Cumulative Security Update for IE > (MS05-025, KB883939).

From: benedict1 on 20 Jun 2005 19:41 I can see this file in Explorer $NtUninstallKB883939$ It is obviously there, but Add/Remove Programs doesn't see it.

Found it. Thank you, never noticed that button before. It didn't help. I uninstalled and reinstalled. Same thing. What's next? There are some hairy Registry fixes out on the web--far beyond my comfort level. What in the world might cause this? I have downloaded many, many Windows updates in the past with nothing like this. So, maybe the update isn't it. Obviously, the reinstall didn't do it. -- Thank you for your help, benedict1 "PA Bear" wrote: > Add/Remove Programs: Is "Show Updates" box at top checked????? <w> > -- > ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) > MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE) & Security > > benedict1 wrote: > > This is goofy.
