Problem after installing latest Windows Update

by Big-Cheese - 3/22/05 1:52 PM

Operating system: Windows Me
HP Pavilion, Model XE744, PID 52782-OEM-0009147-00557,
Windows Update V4

When I install the latest Windows Update (Security Issue for windows Me (KB888113) & Security Issue for windows Me (KB891711)). The computer works OK until I restart it; I try to log on to the Internet. It logs on & then I get a Blue Screen: Error 06:0000:00002C47. After that I get error messages (such as Mstask has caused an error in KRNL.386.exe) whenever I try to bring up a program etc. To correct the problem I start in Safe Mode & do a System Restore. System Restore identifies the Update as Windows Update V4.

I have installed this Update 3 times in the last 4 days & the problem is the same after each time.

I'd like to maintain the latest Updates & find it hard to believe that Microsoft would send out a corrupted Update.

Am I the only one with the problem & how do I fix it.

Unfortunately you are not the only one with problems.

See this:

To workaround it, either uninstall it in Add/Remove Programs or disable it in the Startup tab of the System Configuration Utility (Start > Run > type MSCONFIG and press enter).

THIS IS CRAZY, I LOGGED ON FOR THE SAME PROBLEM YOUR HAVING. AFTER THE MS UPDATE INSTALLED, I GO TO LOG ON TO THE INTERNET, BANG, GOES BLUE. I RE-START, THEN GET IN FOR AWHILE. I WAS CONVINCED THAT 512 SDRAM, AND A 1 GIG DURON WERE NOT ENOUGH POWER TO HANDLE THE NEWER INTERNET SOFTWARES THAT ARE OUT. IF YOU FIGURE THIS OUT, PLEASE SEND ME A E MAIL TO BOBGRODZKI@YAHOO.COM. THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS TO DELETE THE UPDATE. I THINK THATS MY NEXT STEP, CAUSE THIS HAS BEEN DRIVING ME NUTS. ITS HAPPING ON BOTH MY PC, AND MY WIFES.BOB

If any of you have Zone Alarm then you might want to try the folowing: 1. uninstall Zone Alarm (re-install it after you've finished this process); 2. 'Run' 'msconfig' and check the startup list to see if KB891711 is listed - if it is, then uncheck it; 3. Restart your computer; then 4) reinstal Zone Alarm.
For further info see the following article on the Microsft website:
"Invalid Vxd Dynamic Call From Vsdata95" Error Message
Article ID:297725Last Review:December 20, 2004Revision:1.1This article was previously published under Q297725

I've been rebooting/restarting for days (daze) and found this resolution (?) earlier today. So far, so good ... Hope this helps !!
