Guest Adronson Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 explorer.exe is locking up after installing the most recent windows xp security update (KB933729). I've installed it twice with the same results. The second time I downloaded only that update. Mouse is the only thing that works. A system restore gets me back up. Anybody have any suggestions?

I, too, got the notice for this and 3 or 4 other updates including the monthly malicious software removal tool. I don't know how really effective the latter is, but at least it has never hurt me, so I installed it. No problems. For the others, I did my normal "watchful waiting" routine looking for comments like yours. One other person had an IE7 issue with this same update, which doesn't affect me as I am using IE6. My point is that I tend NOT to immediately install ANY MS updates for at least a few days until I can peruse the various support NGs such as this one looking for possible issues. There were MANY problems with a 9-update run back in August for that one, I think I ultimately only installed 6. So, while I cannot help you now, I might politely suggest to you and others reading this to consider taking a more conservative approach and let the early updaters do whatever "beta testing" of the updates that may be necessary. In any event, good luck in resolving your issues - if I couldn't get Explorer to run, it would put a really big dent in my productivity so I can feel your pain. -- HP, aka Jerry
Guest MowGreen [MVP] Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Is there anything in the Event System log that would provide a clue ? Perhaps there's a conflict with 3rd party security software. I'd be curious to see what's in the KB933729.log that's located in %windir% MowGreen [MVP 2003-2008] =============== *-343-* FDNY Never Forgotten =============== Adronson wrote: > explorer.exe is locking up after installing the most recent windows xp > security update (KB933729).

Guest MowGreen [MVP] Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Go ahead and post it as we'll be looking for ERRORS that should be in a numerical format. That should be no problem unless they're written backwards <w> MowGreen [MVP 2003-2008] =============== *-343-* FDNY Never Forgotten =============== roitaga@gmail.com wrote: > I can post this log but it has some Hebrew in it since my windows XP > is in Hebrew. is that ok too? >

Guest San Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I came looking for posts on theis update. There seem to be many problems. It locked up my Outlook 2007 permanently no matter what I tried after I installed it. Once I deleted it, I had no more issues. And no, there was no background anti-virus running when I installed it And my machine is new, fast and more than capable of running Vista and Office 2007. Just an FYI. I'll be curious to see what MS says about this update in the near future.
