Windows XP hangs when viewing the second word-document in browser

[cyriel1920]

There is a problem with word showing doc-files in internet explorer.
Mr Lauer from Luxumbourg found out that it is related to a security update
KB954464.
Here I copy a message from him posted in
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general.

Hi here are the videos to reproduce the problem: (Please note that I've the
following flags for Word.Document.8 in Registry "BrowserFlags:reg_dword:8"):

Is someone from the Microsoft Word Team looking at this?

There has been a new update (kb956357) to word, but on a system at my office
with the patch applied the problem is not solved.
The solution provided by Mr. Lauer is to uninstall the update.
But I guess the update solves a security problem and not installing is not
an option.

Any Hints are welcome

Call your local Microsoft and report this as a continuing UPDATE bug. All
problems caused by Windows or Office Updates are free of charge.
