I was just getting ready to reload Windows 98SE, preparing by closing running processes with Task Manager, and noticed that I had a process that I didn't recognize - Kb891711. With Kb891711 running, I couldn't get onto the Internet with Firefox, Mozilla or Explorer, and couldn't update my anti-virus program. I couldn't get into recently created folders with Windows Explorer, and couldn't open anything related to DOS (either frontends or my elderly PIM). The machine crashed constantly (after the crashes, when Norton Disk Doctor ran automatically, it identified the problem as lying with the same file, tvDebug.log, every time). With your advice, I solved the problem using msconfig. Figured that if I uninstalled Kb891711, Windows would just re-install it with the next update. I was able to find this site using the Linux side of my computer, which is unaffected by Windows problems. I don't think I'm going to buy any more Windows operating systems. Linux software is improving rapidly, it's mostly compatible with Windows, and the Windows situation just keeps getting worse and worse. A security update that works like a virus, and that can't be tracked down except by dumb luck, is really discouraging. Re the Kb891711 problem from Microsoft Update: thanks for being here.

Finally got so fed up that I went into MSCONFIG and unchecked everything that wasn't critical and brought everything back online a little at a time. Anyone want to guess what the problem was? MICROSOFT and their freaking update. Thanks for letting me vent..... I have been fighting this PROBLEM for awhile and would keep restoring the config, updating and loading the problem all over again.
