I guess I can try that one. BUT...
(1) Last time I went to my Standard VGA, some windows were drawing off
the screen. If I can't get to critical buttons, I'll have to abort the
test.
(2) Once, in Standard VGA, I even recall an app/two refused to work,
giving an error message about resolution. If NetZero is like that, I'll
have to abort.
(3) If it is the Video Adapter, why does KB891711 appear to run in my
machine, IF I open an IE instance while offline? That instance will
continue to run, after getting online (through NetZero). Still, any
attempt to open a new instance after that will cause the new one to
BSOD, including the one NetZero tries to open for it's home page. BUT
the one pre-opened DOES CONTINUE to work, no matter how many BSOD new
instances cause.
(4) If it "is" the Video Adapter --Trident Blade 3D/MVP4 (63)--, STILL
I'd prefer KB891711 to be made compatible TO IT, not the other way
around. Nothing else in here is having trouble with my Blade!

| Do I understand you to mean that the machine works fine after changing
to

| If so, that would seem to implicate the third-party video driver,
don't you

| BTW & AFAIK, using the Add-Remove Programs wizard, in Normal Mode,
while
| KB891711.exe is executing, causes the registry "Run" entries to be
removed
| which launch it at Startup. WU does NOT reoffer the "patch".
| Using Add-Remove wizard during Safe Mode also deletes the two files at
| Windows\System\KB891711, which causes Win Updates to reoffer the
'patch".
| Win98 has a third file, a KB891711.inf, about which I don't know what
is
| done during the uninstall. Others here may know.
| ****
|
| As a further test, if temporarily disabling KB891711 using
msconfig/Startup
| and reinstalling the third-party video drivers, and then reenabling
the
| "patch" again causes the machine to throwup, I would say the drivers
are the
| issue with KB891711.

| Thank you for your help, and pass this along to Microsoft, Gary,
