Mr. Kenyon,
You use Wikipedia as a reliable source?

Edward,
Suzanne is a very helpful person. You are being "snotty" and throwing a
fit
because you can't get what you want. Everyone who answers questions here
is
a volunteer, a fellow user of Word, not a Microsoft Employee. This
update
has caused a lot of people problems. It has greatly increased the number
of
questions appearing on these boards. People are trying to pass on
information as they get it. Your posting the same question numerous
times
slows down the response to others, without any purpose. Your question
was
answered, correctly, by volunteers, on a holiday weekend.
Yes, removing the update exposes you to a security risk. It is your
call.
You can take the exposure and use the product with the exposure, or shut
down your use of Word and Excel and wait. We don't work for Microsoft
and we
don't like the situation any better than you do.
She did not call you names or otherwise denigrate you. That you are You
owe
her, and the rest of us, an apology.
By the way, are you the Edward H. Sebesta who is tracking the
Neo-Confederate movement?

I expected that there was likely no fix, but I would ask anyways, being
that
this is not my area of expertise. The worst that I thought could
happen
that
I would find no answer. Obviously you have revealed that I
underestimated
the
worst.
Instead I would encounter a snotty, arrogant individual who really had
no
value added information, but was preoccupied with showing off how
smart
they
could make themselves seem even at the expense of denigrating others.

Well, you can read the KB article and assess the danger for yourself.
Did
you really expect to get an answer for all of the half a dozen or
more
times
you posted this question?

How clever of you Suzanne. Really useless response.

It doesn't expose you to any more security problems than you had
the
minute/day/month/year before you installed the update.

Doesn't this exposure you to security problems. And also, could
this
cause
additional problems? Why can't Microsoft fix this.

Hi David:
You can remove the offending update from Add/Remove Programs,
where
it
shows
as "Security Update for Windows XP (KB908531)". Make sure the
"show
updates"
box at the top is ticked or you won't see hotfixes in the
list.

I can't save files to existing folders... can't even do a

the
EXCEL 2003 Program gets to a "Not Responding" state and I
have
to
crash it.
I was able to save a file to the "My Documents" folder.
The
same
thing
happened to my Word Program. This all happened after I did
the
latest
security update to the XP program. I "removed" and then
reinstalled
the
Office 2003 program but the problem still exists.
