Save Picture As, Shuts Down IE and MSN Explorer in Win XPSP2

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

I know about Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028: Buffer Overrun in JPEG
Processing (GDI+) Could Allow Code Execution (833987)
But this bulletin supposedly does not apply to WinXPSP2 or at least the
"cures" for it are all for WinXP SP1 and WinXP. I realized that probably
because I copied my Picture It 7 to my WinXPSP2 from my Windows 98SE computer
... that maybe this was the hold that there was that meant everytime I try to
save a picture while on the internet, everything closes but my connection.

So I copied the one part of that bulletin above and its fix for Picture It
7. But what I will do is to uninstall that Picture It 7 and just keep my
Picture It 9. I won't apply the fix for 7 but after the uninstall, I will
see if going on the Internet and trying to save a picture under the right
click "Save As" - if that still closes down MSN Explorer and IExplorer. If
it does I will have no idea what then to do. I am leaving this post here now
before that, just in case it does not work. I have investigated it all I can
for now .. it is exhausting investigating these WinXPSP2 problems ... they
require way way too much time and effort. Windows really made this program
way too complex. Or these security hacker brats with their viruses or
whatever it is that SP2 was created for ... and all the layers of Windows XP
.... whatever made the difference between WinXP and Win98SE has not been worth
it in my eyes. I may go back to Win98SE because this is unbearable.
