Consider the following scenario. You install one of the following security updates for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6:

• Security update 916281
• Security update 918899
• Security update 922760

Then, you use Internet Explorer to visit a Web site. Then, you click a link on the Web site. In this scenario, Internet Explorer stops responding (hangs). Additionally, a clicking sound may be repeated continuously.

This issue may occur in the following operating systems:

• Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
• Windows Vista

Note: This problem can also occur in Microsoft Internet Explorer 7

When you use a symbolic link or a hard link to run a program in Windows Vista, the program does not run. Instead, the program exits without generating an error message. You experience this problem if the following conditions are true:

• The program that you run by using the symbolic link or by using the hard link must load resources.
• The Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI) file that is associated with the target program is not located under the symbolic link or under the hard link.
