New problems with a MS Automatic Update/Patch that will lock up Word trying to Open/Save. I also had a user that couldn't use IE. If you entered something into the address bar, it wouldn't work. Firefox was fine, but IE was hashed.

Good Luck!

Ha Ha, only on ar15.com.  A friend of mine that works as a real estate appraiser lost the ability to open documents in Word today.

I told him, "beats me, maybe I'll look into it later".  I promptly forgot all about it and then read this thread!  

Thanks.

Update:  The solution did not work.  There is a note in the document about "other third party COM components and shell extensions being unknown".  Great.

If it still didn't work, I would consider uninstalling that security update, MS06-015.
I read on a forum somewhere that MS was considering making a fix for it more permanent. If thats the case (take it with a grain of salt, it was on a forum) then I think you would be OK without that security update.
My computer was running fine before it, so it must not be THAT critical.
