It now pops up at startup with an MS-DOS prompt window saying "Insufficient memory".

How can I fix this?

[LLXX]

Use the unofficial one located somewhere in this Forum.

How much RAM have you got ?

[Ambassador]

256 mb

[eidenk]

I thought it could be related to having more than 512MB and no vcache value set in system.ini.

Have you got a clue as to what you did before it begun to happen ? Installing some new software or something ?

[Ambassador]

no I don't.

It might have something to do with AVG free

I installed it, then I restarted, and when it has started, the AVG welcome thing appeard. I accidently restarted my computer, and it did the kb891711 error

Official KB891711 from M$ is flawed.
You may want to use unofficial U891711 instead:

more accurately, original M$ KB891711 patch from March 2005 with v4.10.2222 of KB891711.exe caused BSOD errors on some Win98/ME machines. MS revised the KB891711 patches in April 2005 which had v4.10.2223 of KB891711.exe that fixed most of the problems.

but yeah better off using the unofficial U891711 patches (please download latest release if you didnt get one or have an earlier release)

[Ambassador]

So I can uninstall the KB891711 update that came through Windows Update and then install U891711 instead?

[Ambassador]

WELL?

[MDGx]

U891711.EXE uninstalls M$ official Q891711/KB891711 [MS05-002], no need to uninstall it yourself.

Please see U891711.TXT for complete details:

Unofficial patch [U891711] is better than M$ official patch.

Is it possible that U891711.EXE, working "as a service" is freezing my dsl internet connection during one or two minutes, in a random but frequent manner?

[Ambassador]

Ok I installed the U891711 Thing, but it didn't uninstall the KB891711 update. I then tried uninstalling the KB891711 update manually and reinstalling U891711, but it says in Windows Update that I need the KB891711 update. WHAT IS WRONG??

Probably not, but I don't have DSL connection to test this.

U891711 is not an official patch from M$, therefore is not listed as a Windows Update.
That's why WU [Windows Updates web site] doesn't "see" it on the list of installed patches.
Only official M$ patches should be on that list, of course.

This is a mystery for me.
I will need to tsest the "desactivation" of the patch for a week or so, because I can't reproduce the situation intentionaly. I can just see if that happens as ften or not or never.

One other thing, it says in the u891711 update that the installer will automatically uninstall KB891711. It didn't for me.

Secondly, it says you should be able to uninstall the u891711 update from the add/remove thing. Well, it wasn't there.

This installer has been a project I've put on hold for a while, but now I fixed all (un)install issues.
Please try again [118 KB]:
http://www.mdgx.com/files/U891711.EXE
I tested it on my Win98 SE computer, with and without official M$ KB7891711 installed.
Works ok.
Uninstalls any older U891711 [if any] and M$ KB891711.
And it you want to uninstall U891711, just open Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.

P.S.:
Please post all/any U891711 related issues in the dedicated U891711 forum from now on:

Thanks.

ABSOLUTELY NOT, Fredledingue! when I installed the latest release of the U891711 patch on my Win98/ME machines (which use AT&T Yahoo DSL), my DSL connections were UNaffected.

so something else is causing your DSL connections to go haywire OR it could be your DSL provider is having some problems with their network. so that means you'll have to use your DSL connection at a later time when it is working without any problems.

try using a utility such as NetStat Live to check your DSL connection:

Ok, I got another problem.

Not only does kb891711 do the "Insufficient Memory" error, but now the kb918547 does too!

What is going on??!!

[Ambassador]

Added info: sometimes at startup, the updates repeatedly open over and over.
