As far as I know, no. Why do you ask, and why do you ask here, in the
Windows 98 General Discussion group?

sry. just because there was a plethora of responses to notice of someone
dying and then a philosophical discussion that probably doesn't belong here
either.
thanks for the response. you are a great help here to us.

She follows you around, Richard, just like me sometimes.

Got any ideas about the KB891711 problem under Win9X and W2K?

Candy is OK by me. He & Dundat have been known to climb in/out many a
Recycle Bin, intrepidly, to save a poster/two here. ONLY Candy has
survived!

Several, but I'm confounded by the fact that I can't make it happen and I
have taken three PCs at work (all various brands) and inflicted that patch
on them. Neither can I get it to happen under Virtual PC.

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.

Jeff, perhaps you will consider restoring the plain-vanilla MS video
drivers on the afflicted machines to test the current theory that the video
drivers are the cause of the problem? I just can't find any affected boxes.

See Don Kirkpatrick's reply to me on this issue. As I suspected, the
right hand still doesn't know what the left hand is doing at Microsoft.
I'd hold off on directly calling MS on this issue until this gets
straightened out.

The latest from MS:

"Microsoft has received reports about issues with KB891711 on Windows
98,
Windows 98 SE and Windows ME. At this point, we have been able to
confirm these reports and are currently working on a resolution.

"Please note that by uninstalling the current update, the machine will
return to a vulnerable state. At this point, we are currently not aware
of customer's being exploited by way of the vulnerability fixed in
MS05-002 on Windows 98, Windows 98 SE and Windows ME. If you need
additional assistance regarding this update, please contact +1 (866)
PCSAFETY."

I'm now assured, and fairly confident, that anyone who answers that
number will be up to speed on the issue.

Like when isn't the machine at some vulnerable state? (rhetorical)
(nevermind...)

Re-installing plain vanilla video drivers isn't possible unless the update
has been removed, but Windows update will not re-install the update so it's
not possible to determine whether or not the changed video driver has an
effect. Classic Catch-22.

Do a Find on "KB891711" and delete everything that comes up (after
uninstalling.) According to others, this causes Windows Updates to offer
it again.

OK. Now running with Standard PCI graphics adapter (VGA) and 891711
installed.

Do I understand you to mean that the machine works fine after changing to
the Standard PCI graphics adapter (VGA) AND while running KB891711?
If so, that would seem to implicate the third-party video driver, don't you
think?

****
BTW & AFAIK, using the Add-Remove Programs wizard, in Normal Mode, while
KB891711.exe is executing, causes the registry "Run" entries to be removed
which launch it at Startup. WU does NOT reoffer the "patch".
Using Add-Remove wizard during Safe Mode also deletes the two files at
Windows\System\KB891711, which causes Win Updates to reoffer the 'patch".
Win98 has a third file, a KB891711.inf, about which I don't know what is
done during the uninstall. Others here may know.
****

As a further test, if temporarily disabling KB891711 using msconfig/Startup
and reinstalling the third-party video drivers, and then reenabling the
"patch" again causes the machine to throwup, I would say the drivers are the
issue with KB891711.

Thank you for your help, and pass this along to Microsoft, Gary,

I guess I can try that one. BUT...

(1) Last time I went to my Standard VGA, some windows were drawing off
the screen. If I can't get to critical buttons, I'll have to abort the
test.

(2) Once, in Standard VGA, I even recall an app/two refused to work,
giving an error message about resolution. If NetZero is like that, I'll
have to abort.

(3) If it is the Video Adapter, why does KB891711 appear to run in my
machine, IF I open an IE instance while offline? That instance will
continue to run, after getting online (through NetZero). Still, any
attempt to open a new instance after that will cause the new one to
BSOD, including the one NetZero tries to open for it's home page. BUT
the one pre-opened DOES CONTINUE to work, no matter how many BSOD new
instances cause.

(4) If it "is" the Video Adapter --Trident Blade 3D/MVP4 (63)--, STILL
I'd prefer KB891711 to be made compatible TO IT, not the other way
around. Nothing else in here is having trouble with my Blade!
