| 452184 | 2006-05-04 16:15:00 | I found that Microsoft's MS06-015 patch was the messing with HP's add-ons and MS's Office Suite . Among other things, the patch stopped Office apps from opening or saving files that are located in your My Documents folder . The screw-up happens because the verclsid . exe, a new file included with the patch, won't play well with some HP printers, scanners, or cameras . Follow Microsoft's Registry tweak fix and then you'll be able to get to all your files . If you fear playing in the Registry, you can just uninstall the patch for the now . Maybe Microsoft's next load of patches will fix the problem . . . or not . . From the Control Panel, open Add or Remove Programs and find the Microsoft entry that looks like this: Security Update for Windows XP (KB908531) . You can also use the uninstaller in Spybot to fix this . |

| 452185 | 2006-05-04 23:02:00 | This prob was known 2+ weeks ago. There is a fix for this on the MS site. Which I copied, which is this 1. Log on to the computer with an account with administrator privileges. 2. Click the Start button and then click Run. 3. Type Regedit and then click OK. 4. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Shell Extensions\Cached 5. Right-click "Cached", point to New, click "DWORD Value", and then enter: {A4DF5659-0801-4A60-9607-1C48695EFDA9} {000214E6-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} 0x401 6. Set the Data of this value to 1 7. Close the Registry Editor. 8. Use Task Manager to end the Verclsid.exe process or restart the computer. There is also an update called WindowsXP-KB908531-v2-x86-ENU.exe The original file was WindowsXP-KB908531-x86-ENU.exe (without the "2" in it). |
