While uninstalling KB908531 a message came up saying that removing KB908531
would cause AIM's YGP (You've Got Pictures) to stop working. I had noticed
that YGP wasn't even working with KB908531 installed so removing it would
cause no additional problems. However, after removing KB908531 AIM YGP
started working. It looks like KB908531 is really the culprit here (of
course, the vulnerability that this update was supposed to fix remains, but
at least the computer works the way I'm used to for now, and until the update
gets fixed). The question now is when, and how we're supposed to know it's
fixed (what update # fixes the broken update). OK, it's getting a bit too
deep for most. I'm out.

Hi Thomas,
The team are aware of the problem. Its being investigated.
I'm uncertain why this particular feature would be affected; the dropdown
list references the TYPEDURLS in the registry.
Try going to Tools, Internet Options, Content, Autocomplete and clear all
caches. Also delete Internet Explorer's History. Restart the browser then
test.

Deleteing KB908531 returned IE6 to normality. Thanks guys! However, Windows
has just done a new update and was trying to upload KB908531. Surely
Microsoft should have pulled this update untill the bugs are ironed out, then
released the bugfree edition on a new KB number.
Is no one listening to the customers out there in Microsoftland?

908531 was re-released on 25 Apr-06 to address the known issues!
"When the update is re-released, it's going to be very much targeted to
people who are having the problem, or people who have not installed MS06-015
yet. That means if you have already installed MS06-015 and are not having
the problem, there's no action here for you. Windows Update, Microsoft
Update, and Automatic Update will have detection logic built into them to
only offer the revised update (which essentially includes the reg key fix)
to those customers who either don't have MS06-015 or are having the
problem."

I agree 100 % Thomas,
Not only do I have the same issues as you, the updates have really effected
my entire Office Applications.
Here is just a short list:
1- Cannot open any web project using the application (Visual Web Developer,
Front Page), I have to locate a specific file and Right Click > Open With
2- Cannot import anything into web development projects (Must use copy and
paste). I cannot save compiled applications to any web project.
3- Cannot save any attachment in Outlook
4- Cannot attach any file in Outlook
5- Cannot open any office file in it's application (Word, Excel, PowerPoint,
etc..
I have been spending all day trying to find work arounds just to open a
development project.
