FYI:
Sony Vaio laptop w/WinMe and the bogus update. Unit would
just complete boot up and go to BSOD with following error
code: 06:0000:00000806. Pressing any key would clear it
momentarily but not long enough to get into the Control
Panel to delete the update. In my case, executing IE 6.0
while computer is booting (keep clicking on IE icon 'til
it takes) would stave off the BSOD and allow me to get
into the Control Panel (after minimizing IE) and remove
the update. After a reboot (with no BSOD) the file K89711
was deleted in its entirety (I could not do this until the
reboot as the file was "in use").
Life is good and I will apply this "fix" to my other two
desktops which have been stricken with a case of
the "funks"
Researched fix on this board... a hearty "Thank you!" to
all who've contibuted to the collective
