Users started posting messages to multiple Microsoft support newsgroups almost immediately after Microsoft released the MS07-069 security bulletin on Dec. 11, saying that they were unable to connect to the Internet, either because IE refused to open or because when it did open, it could not reach various sites.
“About 60% of the time, I would get an ‘Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and must close’ dialog,” reported Bill Drake on the Windows Update newsgroup. Others echoed those comments on IE-specific forums, noting that both IE6 and IE7 balked at loading, or while loading, some pages, particularly home pages, on both Windows XP and Windows Vista machines.
ther users on the support forums weren’t much help, except to suggest uninstalling last Tuesday’s security update. That’s what Decker did. “We uninstalled [MS07-069] and have had no problems since then,” he said.
With Vista, I do think the reason I’ve not had any problems is I don’t use IE. LOL I use Firefox but another reason is that I’ve also installed the SP1 RC1 on my system. That also might fix the problem could someone check it out and let me know!!
