I repaired mine in a slightly different fashion.
I have a piece of software that let' s me take control of _ANY_ windows file. It's a shareware program found on the net.
I was then able to delete the old (bad) 10Kb winhelp32.exe file and copy a good one in it's place.
So I believe I still have : KB917607 and KB3000850 installed, but I have not looked to be sure.
What will Windows do to us next?

I uninstalled updates (no time at all) and (couple minutes) then reinstalled KB917607. All is well with this computer. Next time I have a chance I will do the same with the Win7 computers.
There is joy in mudville this afternoon. Actually no mud since everything is either frozen, covered with snow or both.
