Jerry Bryant,

I do appreciate MS re-working this 891711 issue. Thank you to MS.

Let me take this opportunity to ask you to pass this along as well in high
hopes this problem will be addressed once and for all. It's a big problem
for 9x users and I can't imagine it's anything but embarrassing for MS to
leave this bug the way it is. We even have people making webpages talking
about and trying to help people get around the problem.
Please show this link to whomever is in charge as it outlines the problem
I'm speaking of pretty well, which has been talked about in the 9x group
for 2 years now, and so please ask them to finally fix what the problem is,
please, thank you.

Yep, it got me. Either KB891711 or KB888113 was causing a *black* screen
of death every time I clicked on a link in IE or any other browser.
After I used System Restore to remove those updates, the blackouts
stopped happening.

I'm using Millennium Edition.

Sorry, I meant to say that it MIGHT have gotten me. I never tried
reinstalling just KB888113 to see if the problem returned.

By the way, on the off chance that it might be an issue with my graphics
setup, here is what I have:

P4 1.9 ghz with 256 mb of RDRAM. As for the graphics card, it's a
Leadtek WinFast(R) A280LE with an nVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 chip running
in an AGP8X slot. Driver is from nVIDIA, is dated 07/03/2002 and the
version is 4.13.01.3100.

I'd just like to add my support to Rick's request, without making any other comments, since the issue has already been discussed in these newsgroups extensively, and the seriousness of the problems is well established.

Haw, so I wasn't hallucinating ... happens in '98 too eh?... IIRC also
IE6 just bogs right down sometimes as well for no discernible reason.

Hi Robert,
You have totally misunderstood my post. I'm sorry you did.
Of course we all knowMS05-002/KB891711 has nothing to do with the link I
gave. http://www.frankprovo.com/win98ie6filesproblem.htm

As I said I took this extra opportunity to tag onto Jerry Bryant MCSE,
MCDBA post to express to the MS coders about another important issue that is
of great importance for 9x to get fixed - besides what the OP is about.
I apologize for tagging onto it, but felt it was important enough.

> fixed your issue for the vast majority of Win98 users.)

Again here too Robert I have no idea what you are referring to, but surely
you are mistaken here of what we are talking about which has been well
confirmed in this 9x newsgroup a hundred times over the last 2 years;
thousands of times elsewhere. The issue that the link
http://www.frankprovo.com/win98ie6filesproblem.htm speaks about was never
fixed and I can guarantee it's 100% immutable that the problem does exist for
W98x. I would of not stuck my neck out to make my post if it wasn't. I
guess you don't know me.

The problem is old news but for heavens sake Robert earlier just today even
your own Extremely capable MVP Chris Quirke (cquirke) is onboard with this
issue and actually uses 9x to know. Listen up:

FWIW, I seriously doubt that Jerry B. is going to read any replies to
his post. It was a notice, nothing more. They've been able to repro the
issue, which usually means that further user input is probably not
needed. We just have to wait to see what they work out.

However, I *did* drop your entire post into the same hopper I used for
the KB891711 issue (the track that finally got some action, or at least
some public acknowledgement of the problem.) We'll have to wait to see
what, if anything, comes of it.
