MS05-038 (896727) FAILURE Cum. Sec. Update for I.E. 6.0.2800.1106

Windows XP Update >> MS05-038 (896727) FAILURE Cum. Sec. Update for I.E. 6.0.2800.1106 The August 10th, 2005 Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer
(896727)
Security Update MS05-038 for I.E. 6.0.2800.1106 (latest) crashed my
operating system on my 98 SE computer. Immediately upon installation, I.E.
failed. Upon reboot, the system reverted to its' original registry and began
reestablishing hardware profiles for USB connections, monitor, parallel and
mouse ports. Many software connections were lost including Norton Anti-Virus
and Canon zoombrowser.

I won't be installing any more Security Updates for 98 SE any longer. I
have two backup H.D.s for my system just in cases like this. Obviously,
Windows doesn't care whether they crash 98 SE systems so they put out
critical updates for downloading which were not tested.

I am a 21 year computer vet who also runs 2000 and XP Pro in my office (and
two other computers in my home). I know something about computers but am not
a tech. I like 98 SE but cannot trust MS to provide secure performing
critical updates.

Do whatever you feel is right. I highly suspect that NAV's Real-Time
Protection was running during the updates's install and that was the
cause of the issue. There appears to be issues doing IE Cumulative
Secruity Updates with Win9x systems that have NAV installed.
Was the update installed automatically or did you use IE to visit
Windows Update ?

FYI, it installed fine on my Win 98 SE and Win ME system. The update was
downloaded manually and IE was not open during the install. NAV not
present on either system. eTrust was and it's real time protection was
not disabled.
