Windows Update KB896727
 

As a result of running Windows Update yesterday I downloaded and installed the above which is titled "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1". All appeared to be ok till I tried to shutdown my computer which simply hung after the shutdown procedure. I found that a normal shutdown was impossible with the result that on starting up an improper shutdown was revealed leading to Scandisk running. I tried numerous times all with the same result.

I have now resorted to using Norton GoBack to restore the drive to a time before the install. My computer now shuts down normally as before. My OS is Windows ME.

Just wondering whether anyone else has had this problem with this particular update?

Installed ok here, could anything have been running at the same time to upset the install? Virus scan, defrag, anti-spyware tools?
You could try downloading it again now and monitoring the install just in case.

No probs, sometimes an update can fail to install correctly and cause more problems than it was meant to solve. System Restore comes in handy for those ocassional moments lol
