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?

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.

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.
