Aza, go to Windows Update but instead, select Windows Update Catalog on the left, Find Updates for Win OS, Win ME in the dropdown menu, click Search, Critical Updates & Service Packs, on the upper right dropdown menu Sort by Posted Date....
take the 3rd one down: Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 2 (KB867282) - (Posted Date: February 04, 2005)
Download size: 2.4 MB
A security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to compromise a computer running Microsoft Internet Explorer and gain control over it. You can help protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

FYI careful, the second one for IE6 is also numbered: (KB867282)

Probably you can extract the update's contents with Winzip, Winrar or Tugzip. Right click on the file, and select "Open with Winzip".

Exactomundo same procedure for extracting wmp10 file replacements.... replace files using CopyLock, which also eliminates un & registering processes

Hmmm...I tried with Izarc (another good zip program) and it would not unzip the exe....

Did anyone try this and it worked? If so, what zip proggie?

thx...

[horsecharles]

The ones Gape mentioned-- also PowerArchiver..... remember to right-click & select Extract or similar command....

You're not gonna pay to use the trial or shareware of power archiver or winzip, and tugzip is free...... IZArc is great but can't handle that.......

[soldier1st]

what about 7zip?
it's free and it does work.

Either could the others...they would unzip the file to a folder but it would be empty...every time!

But if I open Tugzip or Izarc, then I can get to the files in the zip OK....BUT with either I still can't extract them to a directory using dnd (like C:\Temp)....get a Windows error.....Can not move file: File system error (1026)

If I try to select a file within the archive program and select extract, it won't work...at least Izarc errors....Tugzip doesn't do anything so it seemed to work...but the directory is empty!!

Did any one actually TRY extracting or is the info based on how it should work?

hey thx!! this one at least could extract the file...

[soldier1st]

i would have suggested winrar but it costs money.
i've used 7zip before and i know it works(i use winrar atm)

[1buddy]

Does the SP take care of TCP/IP stack?
changing in the registry MaxConnections 100 to 256 (more would be better) or some other ways?

emule, nmap, etc. should work better..



Great stuff guys

WinRAR and Winzip are shareware. I know newer versions of WinRAR (v3.x) will use
different registration codes than versions 1.x to 2.x of Winrar. see this article
on License & Registration of Winrar:
http://www.win-rar.com/index.php?id=24&kb=1&kb_article_id=81

jasinwa, if you still doubt that the KB833989 vgx.dll MS04-028 security update does
not work when using the IE 5.5 browseui.dll and browselc.dll files in IE6 SP1, download
the vgx.dll update here:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/c...989-x86-ENU.exe
and run it for yourself.

Gape's got a point in using the updated browseui.dll file from the IE 5.5 Sp2 kb867282 patch on a system using IE6 sp1. you'll have the security benefit of the updated browseui.dll file instead of the original browseui.dll file from the IE 5.5 SP2 setup files.

I see that, but I was saying that after installing the 2 - 5.5 files, I was asked again to dl the security update, in which one of the 2 files would end up replaced again....so I was talking about having to REINSTALL KB867282....

vicious circle though, eh?

[nick696]

Can some one upload browseui.dll, browselc.dll and shdocvw.dll for Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 2 (KB867282), I dont have winme, so cannot get these files.

[utomo]

I am new here.

I have some questions:
Why not using IE 6 ?

and look at some article on http://bootdisk.com/
http://www.rainbowpc...in_98_tips.html
and others
maybe we can improve somethings.

Thanks

No need. You can d/l the MS fix here [MS IE 5.5 SP2 Patch for Windows ME]:
http://www.mdgx.com/ietoy.htm#BRO
Then open it in PowerArchiver or WinZip:
http://www.mdgx.com/toy.htm#ZIP
to extract the files.

[error_404]

Why not insert some enhancements like:
LSPFix, WinSockFix, PrcView, Extended WinIPCfg
They are small apps and help for cleaning from some ad-spy apps that modify reg entries (LSPFix+WinSockFix), they are useful to kill some processes (PrcView) and to add more functions to WinIPCfg.

who cares if WU asks you to reinstall the KB867282 patch. I don't give a ****.
so just don't pay attention to WU if you already installed the KB867282 update.
If I myself already know I installed that update, replace the two files you mentioned
and then visit WU and it tells me to install KB867282, I IGNORE WU because I
already installed the security patch. I'm smarter than that!

nah error_404. may want to include the enhancements you suggested into
Tihiy's Revolutions pack.

for those who are wondering if Microsoft will ever release a new standalone version of Internet Explorer. There WILL be an IE7 but it will be compatible with WinXP SP2 only.

see Paul Thurrott's Supersite for Windows article on IE7:
http://www.winsupers...7_preview_1.asp

read 'em and weep boys! fat chance of IE7 working under Win9xME, 2000 and NT4.

[Acheron]

erpdude8, there are some alternatives. However Internet Explorer 6 will still be supported by Microsoft when IE7 comes out.
