Windows Update causes startup failure

My hopes about that are dashed, then, especially after reading Chauvin's
response! Still, a tech support guy harried to the point of fibbing
surely will ask MS to redouble it's efforts for a timely fix.

Someone (in here?) posted that if they open a local page offline,
and then connect they don't blue screen. Have you tried that?
Or just open IE and then connect? I wonder what would happen if you
move it out of runservices and into the startup folder (for
example).

Hey PCR Pro,
Star here....
I saw your **OUCH** message, and (2) posts have surfaced, users on dial-up
without problems, double OUCH!!
I listed my running processes in that thread, however you haven't seen it
yet.

Did you see Glee's post... ?

I went to WU, and it comes up for me. I did uninstall it, I had it disabled
initially, and all was well.
However, like I mentioned, personally I did not like it period.... and, if
Microsoft wants to run it as a start-up process for W-98-se, I won't run it
as a continuous running process.

I did disable it and totally uninstall it!!

I was going to disable, and delete from *run services* regisistry
location... and go to the executable, send shortcut to the desktop and
**Run** this as desired by launching myself after IE was running w/web page
loaded.

I **WAS CURIOUS** to do above, but now I can't... however, you can do the
above test since you only have it disabled.

I do above with many applications/software, delete from run services
registry and msconfig, but I have shortcuts to run them myself except for
Pc-cillin.

Would there be any significance in where it is in Task
Manager? It is second up from the bottom in mine, just after
my SanDisk card reader. And my internet connection
(broadband using DUN) doesn't fire up till right at the end
when my Mailwasher antispam program loads. No problems here
with the update.

I don't know what order Task Manager enumerates processes, or
if it's relevant. My thought was that this kludge of a patch
may simply hook into the loaded kernel and check for valid
parameters before passing it on to the LoadImage function.
Just a guess of course, but it's a strange way to patch the OS.

If it is just hooking the "OS kernel" then maybe loading it later
would have a different effect? Or it may be it would cause it to
be ineffective. Dunno...I don't really advocate doing that, was
just thinking out loud (so to speak)

Tapisrv.exe doesn't show up at Ctrl-Alt-Del, it seems. It will show up
at "START button, Run, MSInfo32, Software Environment, Running Tasks"...

Tapisrv.exe 4.10.2222 Microsoft Corporation Microsoft® Windows(TM)
Telephony Server C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Tapisrv.exe 4.0 Microsoft(R)

....But only after connecting to the NET.

I have a thread going on it, named "KB891711". Here is your permit to
enter it...

Permit one sinner Bill Blanton with ideas into "KB891711".
Signed... PCR.

My experience is described in there. I think I've done most of what you
suggest. I know IE was working out of TIFs, offline before connecting.
Usually, NetZero will honor offline status & ask whether I wanted to go
online while it opens it's home page. Well, perhaps it's IE asking.
HOWEVER, with KB891711.exe running, I don't seem to get that question,
but just the orderly BLOD.

NOW, you make me wonder, can the offline status have been lost, because
perhaps I closed the offline IE window before clicking NetZero? I do
know, having OE open offline causes IE to honor the status. So, fine...

(a) Keep OE open offline
(Usually, that's what I do. Did I that time?)
(b) Fine, open an IE window offline, & keep it open
(Did I that time, or did I close it?)
(c) Click KB891711.exe, which wasn't started this boot
(d) Finally, click my NetZero button.

Prediction: It won't work.
Result: (a), (b), (c) went well. OE works. E works.
IE (TIFs) work. NOW, for (d)... IT CRASHED, quicker!

NetZero crashes at it's second screen, before I can click the Connect
button offered there. It is the same orderly... "A fatal exception 0D
has occurred at 0000:0000FA0E...". I "press(ed) any key", & here I am
with all else amazingly working as before.

Now, I'll kill KB891711.exe & go online.

That is sad, that all Dial-ups do not suffer our fate. However, let us
rejoice. It seems some cable folk do suffer! So, MS must STILL fix the
fix, if enough users are affected, adding us all up.

I anxiously await running into your post. If I haven't seen Glee's, soon
I will. You mean the one where he said a bunch of his Win98's were
affected? That's good. NOW, the MVPs will unite & get us a fix!

That is TREBLY sad that MS STILL has it available at WU! Geeez!

I did that in response to Blanton's request elsewhere. It was worse.

PCR Pro,
I read where you answered Pa Bear about updates in add/remove control
panel.
And, yes Microsoft knows I removed it and it is offered to me again. I just
visited WU minutes ago.

I took KB891711 & KB888113 at the same time, early in the day soon after my
first boot of the day. According to your post to Pa Bear you listed these
updates....

Only KB891711 would show up at MSConfig, but both would show at "Control
Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Install/Uninstall tab"

(a) Windows 98 KB891711 Update (don't have)
(b) Windows 98 Q823559 Update
(c) Windows 98 Q840315 Update
(d) Windows 98 Q888113 Update **doesn't show, restored registry**
(e) Windows 98 Q890175 Update

I uninstalled KB891711 using Control Panel and checked the files that Gary
Terhune listed for the patch, and then I exited to dos and did a scanreg
/restore and restored my registry to my first boot of the day.

OK, WU offers me KB891711 but not KB888113 and I restored the registry. I
don't see KB888113 in add/remove list in control panel (I wouldn't since I
restored the registry). I looked at my log in my WU folder and both updates
show being successful.

What I'm asking is how can WU know.... if I restored the registry, I would
think both updates would be offered to me again, yet I'm offered only
KB891711... ???

I started having the same problem - was checking my msconfig startup window
and found that the file KB891711 was now in startup - I removed the check -
restarted my computer no more problems. Sorry about the previous blank
message.

(That wasn't to Bear, it was to the OP he was responding to.) So, you DIDN'T uninstall Q888113, but you restored the Registry (after uninstalling KB891711)? Probably RBBAD.cab has the Registry that you want. It is the one that was in effect at the time you did the /Restore. Of course, if you've done another install/uninstall since then, that one would get mussed by taking RBBAD.cab. Do you know how to get RBBAD.cab back? You'd have to...

(a) Rename or move the oldest RBxxx.cab out of "C:\WINDOWS\SYSBCKUP"
(b) Rename RBBAD.cab to the number of the one you moved out
(c) ScanReg /Restore, and take what was RBBAD.cab

OTHERWISE, well, here are the Registry entries you seek. Do you know what to do with these...

Thanks for the registration entries, PCR Pro.
I copied them into Notepad and named the file w/.reg extension and merged
into the Registry (I did 3 separate merges and checked each merge), I now
see KB888113 in Ctl Panel add/remove tab.

WU only offered KB891711 again... doesn't WU get the info from the .xml log
in Windows Update folder, how can I **really be sure I have the KB888113
update** ??? I know I **now have the registration entries again** ??? How
can I verify I have KB888113 ???

Thank you, Star

You are welcome. I'm glad I didn't have to explain those Exports. I did
post them in MIME, hoping they would not break when copied to Notepad.
Apparently, they did not. OK, then.

Well, it's a mystery how the site knows whether a thing is installed, as
it may do it differently per critical. It seems, for Q888113, it is
using the obvious one of those Registry keys.

To know whether Q888113 is installed...

(1) Look through the docs...
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS05-015.mspx
Do you have the files & version it may mention?

(2) "START, Run, SFC" after each install/update. It will list the files
that were changed. Mine showed the following for Q888113 & the devil
KB891711...

.....Quote SFCLog.txt...........
[C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM]
hlink.dll Updated 5.0.4513 10/20/00 5.2.3790.22 11/16/04
No
[C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS]
HLINK.DLL Added 5.2.3790.22 11/16/04
[C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KB891711]
KB891711.EXE Added 4.10.2222 2/22/05
Q891711.DLL Added 4.10.2222 2/18/05
.....EOQ............................

Apparently, it didn't catch the .inf files (they each have one).

(3) You could look inside "C:\WINDOWS\INF\QFE\W98\888113UN.INF". But
you'll need to know .inf-talk. Note it does mention itself & HLINK.DLL.
Here it is...

| (That wasn't to Bear, it was to the OP he was responding to.) So, you
DIDN'T
| uninstall Q888113, but you restored the Registry (after uninstalling
| KB891711)? Probably RBBAD.cab has the Registry that you want. It is
the one
| that was in effect at the time you did the /Restore. Of course, if
you've
| done another install/uninstall since then, that one would get mussed
by
| taking RBBAD.cab. Do you know how to get RBBAD.cab back? You'd have
to...
|
| (a) Rename or move the oldest RBxxx.cab out of "C:\WINDOWS\SYSBCKUP"
| (b) Rename RBBAD.cab to the number of the one you moved out
| (c) ScanReg /Restore, and take what was RBBAD.cab
|
| OTHERWISE, well, here are the Registry entries you seek. Do you know
what to
| do with these...

| | PCR Pro,
| | I read where you answered Pa Bear about updates in add/remove
control
| | panel.
| | And, yes Microsoft knows I removed it and it is offered to me again.
I
| just
| | visited WU minutes ago.
| |
| | I took KB891711 & KB888113 at the same time, early in the day soon
after
| my
| | first boot of the day. According to your post to Pa Bear you listed
these
| | updates....
| |
| | Only KB891711 would show up at MSConfig, but both would show at
"Control
| | Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Install/Uninstall tab"
| |
| | (a) Windows 98 KB891711 Update (don't have)
| | (b) Windows 98 Q823559 Update
| | (c) Windows 98 Q840315 Update
| | (d) Windows 98 Q888113 Update **doesn't show, restored registry**
| | (e) Windows 98 Q890175 Update
| |
| | I uninstalled KB891711 using Control Panel and checked the files
that Gary
| | Terhune listed for the patch, and then I exited to dos and did a
scanreg
| | /restore and restored my registry to my first boot of the day.
| |
| | OK, WU offers me KB891711 but not KB888113 and I restored the
registry. I
| | don't see KB888113 in add/remove list in control panel (I wouldn't
since I
| | restored the registry). I looked at my log in my WU folder and both
| updates
| | show being successful.
| |
| | What I'm asking is how can WU know.... if I restored the registry,
I
| would
| | think both updates would be offered to me again, yet I'm offered
only
| | KB891711... ???

PCR, I'm lost w/SFC.... I have tried to figure it out, I can restore files
from OS cd, and therefore it is useful.
(see below)

**OK, have above file HLINK.DLL in C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS

** So, really NO files were added, HLink.dll was updated and it was added to
another location and that's it ??

** Don't have the above of course, after the uninstall it left an empty
folder and I trashed it too!!

** YES, I do have the INF file, yeah!! I didn't think of a .inf.... but I'm
learning. I could actually re-install from the .inf file ? But, I'm OK!!

** I guess Windows UD has a way... like I said, it wasn't offered to me, and
I restored the Registry, somehow I think that's odd. The .xml log says,
"both were successful and so does not my History at WU.... they know I don't
have the devel anymore.

Thats PCR Pro, maybe you can help me understand & work w/SFC sometime!!

Oh, sure, you are welcome! Right, but it was WORSE than normal. My prior
experience (when booting with KB891711.exe in the Startup Group) was
that NetZero WOULD connect, & I could use OE online. Just, as NetZero
tried to open it's home page, IE would BSOD in an orderly manner. Also,
every attempt to use IE would do the same. Close KB891711.exe at any
time, & IE would work. OK, then. I'm torn between further
experimentation or vowing to do my taxes. OK, bye.

Oooo, you're right! Those BUMS listed the files for three OS, but none

| PCR, I'm lost w/SFC.... I have tried to figure it out, I can restore
files
| from OS cd, and therefore it is useful.

"START, Run, SFC"
However, this tool needs a priming, which basically means to accept all
current changes. The "Settings", especially "Search Criteria", may need
adjusting. You may look through the log, C:\Windows\SFCLOG.TXT, to see
what it's done. Also, there is a certain amount of confusion involved
with it, under the best of circumstances. For one thing, certain files
will always seem to have changed. For another, it does not well handle
version numbers greater than 11 characters.

That one came from Q888113. (W2K & XP also got Whlink.dll, looks like,
from that URL, but not us.) It appears...

"START, Run, QFECheck"

....will also show this file for UPD888113 under W98. That's really a

|
| **OK, have above file HLINK.DLL in C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS

Uhuh. You know, I moved those .cab's to E:\, BUT SFC is still going to
C:\ for that. I'll have to search my Registry again... rats, it isn't
there! I guess, soon, I must go click those SFC URLs I've just posted to
you.

|
| ** So, really NO files were added, HLink.dll was updated and it was

That's by SFC, the way I've got it set. We do know there was an .inf
that SFC seems to be unaware of, although my search criteria includes
"C:\Windows". I'll have to investigate!

You're OK, having taken the .reg's. I thought of the .inf. But... I
guess... it will uninstall (instead of install) those Registry entries.
I'm sure there's a way to fix it to do the reverse-- but I don't know
how!

I seem to recall WU had a way to uninstall some of the updates, but I

Well, I'm not a great fan of that. And your experience this time is a
prime reason why. It can easily undo more than one bargains for. It
would have worked, I guess, if only one update was involved.

As the site still offers that little devil, you are OK, no matter what
the History says.

|

sometime!!

You are welcome. Well, go read those URLs. If you have any further
questions, I guess I'll go read them too.

Brian,

I have DSL and had the same problems. I had to uninstall and then delete
the subdirectory to get everything back in working order. I have McAfee
virus protection and firewall. Don't know if that has any impact, but every
bit of info may help.

As you all know by now, KB891711 is the culprit. Since my earlier posts I
have confirmed at least 4 different issues all related to that stupid patch
that starts a new process that runs all the time. Get a clue MS, Windows
does not need any more processes running by default. It's fat enough
already. For now I have removed the registry entry that starts KB891711.exe
in the run services key until MS has a fix. Doing either this or using
MSConfig keeps Windows Update from wanting to reinstall it.

The 4 issues I have personally seen are;
Blue screen at login.
Blue screen when opening a web browser, doesn't seem to matter which one.
Blue screen when opening an .pdf file attachment in an Outlook email.
Blue screen when trying to send an email from Outlook.

Do you think they did any testing on this one before releasing this one?

That's about the size of it. Turn it off & wait patiently. Don't click
many strange URLs, as the vulnerability depends upon malicious site
participation. Don't read posts in HTML. Update your virus checker. Say
a prayer of between 7 & 18 words before turning on the computer.

I've received a request from the team that's working on the
KB891711 issue. They would like everyone in the USA who has had problems
with KB891711 to call 1-866-PCSafety (1-866-727-2338). If you can help
them with some info, they say they're close to reproducing the
problem--first step toward solving it. I have asked for, though not yet
received, assurances that callers will be taken more seriously than has
been reported thus far.

(According to at least a couple of people, when they called PSS they
were told that KB891711 wasn't a critical problem on Win98 and to just
uninstall it. KB891711 deals with a very *serious* vulnerability,
affecting pretty much all Windows systems, and anyone who can't get
patched decently should don at *least* a dozen condoms before journeying
out onto the internet.)

See Don Kirkpatrick's reply to me on this issue. As I suspected, the
right hand still doesn't know what the left hand is doing at Microsoft.
I'd hold off on directly calling MS on this issue until this gets
straightened out.

The latest from MS:

"Microsoft has received reports about issues with KB891711 on Windows
98,
Windows 98 SE and Windows ME. At this point, we have been able to
confirm these reports and are currently working on a resolution.

"Please note that by uninstalling the current update, the machine will
return to a vulnerable state. At this point, we are currently not aware
of customer's being exploited by way of the vulnerability fixed in
MS05-002 on Windows 98, Windows 98 SE and Windows ME. If you need
additional assistance regarding this update, please contact +1 (866)
PCSAFETY."
