Microsoft Update KB891711
causing problems for Win98 and WinMEA recent update from Microsoft to address a
Windows vulnerability with “Cursor and Icon Format Handling” is now
causing some Win98 and WinME systems to experience errors such as the "blue screen of
death". If you are having similar problems after a Windows Update to
98 or ME, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to see if you have KB89711.exe running in your
task list. If so, you have the update and it's possible that it's causing
some problems. If you wish you can start MSConfig
and go to the "Startup" tab to uncheck it so it doesn't start up when the
computer boots.
Despite the problems we occasionally get, you
still need to update your Windows on a regular basis.

Quote from the website - Microsoft has acknowledged that a small
number of users who installed a security patch issued in January have
experienced technical problems that may degrade system performance or
cause unexpected behavior. Despite published reports, however, those who
applied the patch are not subject to attacks stemming from the
vulnerability.
