Very good. I understand your problem symptom much more clearly now.


Did you also try my suggestion to trace .dll accesses using FileMon?

In fact, what I just did was trace all iexplore entries and highlighted .dll
entries. This gives clear evidence of when the Information bar is shown
by this entry:

0.00594433 iexplore.exe:3576 QUERY INFORMATION F:\WINDOWS\media\Windows XP Information Bar.wav SUCCESS Attributes: N

and just before that I saw (highlighted) lines such as:

0.00949478 iexplore.exe:3576 READ F:\WINDOWS\system32\xpsp2res.dll SUCCESS Offset: 2687488 Length: 16384
0.01665882 iexplore.exe:3576 READ F:\WINDOWS\system32\ieframe.dll SUCCESS Offset: 2536960 Length: 16384


DependencyWalker shows that ieframe.dll has both entry points
DllRegisterServer and DllInstall. So you could try

regsvr32 /i ieframe.dll

to see if some bits in the registry need refreshing for its use.


The trace shows other .dlls being accessed in the same breakpoint.
What I would do with them is at least check that you are using the
same versions on both machines.


Other than that I hope you can get some more clues by comparing
FileMon and RegMon traces of your two cases. BTW I find it useful
to wait at least 5 seconds between prompts and after all trace activity
has subsided. E.g. that way I can record which sets of lines each
breakpoint contains. Etc.


Good luck

Robert

Use the MS newsserver instead to access the MS newsgroups, Lars-Erik: No
subscription/password, messages appear within minutes and are kept available
on the server for a minimum of 90 days. Many other servers infrequently
sync with the MS server and remove messages after 24 hours or less.

Do you have a link to that again, then I'll try on both system to see.

I could try regsvr32 on all DLL's you suggest Smile

Oops. I'm actually using IE7b1 and didn't realize that that must be
a new module.

Perhaps somebody else who is using IE6sp2 can help you using
the same technique.

BTW in case you haven't found it yet FileMon is freeware from
SysInternals.


Good luck

Robert

I have read through all the posts on this and so far I have seen no mention
of the additional "Kill Bit" elements in MS05-052. Buried in the text of
this bulletin is a list of dll files that have the CLSD Kill Bit modified in
the registry. This is over and above what is carried out in MS05-038. It may
be worth checking to see if any entry is corrupt and not restored to its old
value when uninstalling MS05-052.
I don't profess to fully understand what the Kill Bit does. However, looking
at KB909889 and 909738 does make interesting reading and may help.
I am not saying that this may cure your problems but I don't think anyone
has mentioned this before, so I thought I would raise it just in case.

I use both, poll both my local and MS server (Agent 3.1 can do that
now, jippi Smile
