Kb918547 Exe

Dr.Watson says that KB918547 EXE has altered windows but doesn't say what to do about it.any help?

 

Hello cobraxus,

I'm assuming that your OS is either Win98 or WinMe, you should specify the OS when posting here.

This is legitimate behavior for this critical MS patch on a 9X system. KB918547.exe becomes a startup item in msconfig.

APPLIES TO

• Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition
• Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition

sorry_thought I was posting in the WinME section.microsoft no longer provides updates for windows ME that's where part of the problem was coming from.kb918547 exe was trying to update automatically and couldn't.thanks again for the help

 

drwatson sez...

If the Taskbar is behaving strangely, try exiting Multimedia background task support module.

Module Name: mmtask.tsk
Description: Multimedia background task support module
Version: 4.90.3000
Product: Microsoft Windows
Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation

this is all DrWatson says now.any idea what it means?thanks

 

Hi cobraxus,

Go to this thread http://www.windowsbbs.com/showthread.php?t=39425 and you'll see a reference on startups for 9X OS's. If you have mmtask.exe running, disable from starting up.

EDIT: Looked into this some more.

There are two programs that are called by this name, one is a 3rd party music player - and other belongs to MS. Re reading your thread, its the MS media software thats causing the problem.

From what I can gather, this caused by driver issues.

I would recomend that you go to the video card and sound card web sites for your system and see if there are driver updates.
