File explorer lockup after XP update 933729


Recommended Posts

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 don't, but I'll give you my view on MS updates. 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.

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%

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>

Try to run defrag on your disk, sometimes the system get difficult to found

de fragments.

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.
