Sorry if this symptom has been posted before, but so many difficulties
seem to be caused by this update I am getting lost. I have installed
the update but find that my address book is unreadable, Outlook 2002
does not work at all and Microsoft Activesync cannot connect and gives
me error messages asking me to repair/reinstall Outlook. This I have
tried to no avail. The only thing that works is to use system restore
to a date prior to the Security Update. Is their any easy fix as I am
getting ****** off with the repeated reminders to install this buggy
secirity "fix"

Please check Event Viewer for Warning / Error Reports in the System and
Application logs for when these error have occurred and post copies.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, and
Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information
regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important.

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you should
double click for further information. You can copy using copy and paste.
Often the link will, however, say there is no further information.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click
on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now
start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This
will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report complete with links
into the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event
Viewer.

Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on
the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties. Hardware,
Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?
