A revised version of the MS06-015 update was released today that
supposedly interacts better with the older HP and nVidia
software. You can download the revised update from
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms06-015.mspx.

Some people may suggest that you uninstall the MS06-015 update, or rename
the c:\windows\system32\verclsid.exe file. Doing either of these things
will leave your computer vulnerable to the security issue described at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms06-015.mspx. You should
only uninstall these if the revised patch causes the same problems and the
registry edit doesn't help.

This is exactly the problem I am having. I am printing off the advice
right
now and going to tackle this later on tonight. I have fought with this for
hours over the last 2 days and have job search information that I am
unable
to access without juggling between work and home computers.
Thanks

The update you are looking for is not an Office update but a Windows
update.
It will be listed as Windows [version] Hotfix - KB908431.

Hi Suzanne, thanks!

When I go into install/uninstall programs and click on updates it shows
me
recent Office Updates as of 4/06 - but when I choose one to uninstall
it
tells me I cannot uninstall the updates.

Reinstalling Word will have no effect on this problem whatsoever (but
it
also won't cause you to lose your documents). Where are you getting
the
message that you can't uninstall the update?

news I am having the same problem - trying to Open File - can only open
in
"My
Documents" - I tried to uninstall but it says I can't uninstall
updates.

Should I just reinstall Word? And if I do that, will I lose my
documents?

Thanks!

If you have Automatic Updates set for full auto, downgrade it to
semi-auto
("Notify me but don't automatically download or install them.").
Then
you
can keep refusing the update, or you can choose "No, and don't
show
me
this
one again," but when the new one is available tomorrow you'll
need
to
check
"Offer updates again that I've previously hidden."

Thanks, that worked great. How do I keep it from re-installing.
Thanks

Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs. Find the hotfix and
uninstall.
In
Windows XP, you have to check the box for "Show updates" to
ensure
that
it
is listed.

How does one uninstall the update?

"Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote:

In that case you may have no recourse (for the time
being)
but
to
uninstall
the update.

I was certain that your suggestion would work as we
have
recently
bought a
new HP photosmart printer but unfortunately I still
have
the
same
problem,
so
back to the drawing board.
