    After rolling out KB2799329 some of our machines have an issue where IE8 has stopped working.  IE will open but it does not display anything if I try to open Internet Options I get a message saying that it is restricted even when logged on with my admin account.  Removing the patch resolves the issue but I need to find a way to get this to install without causing this issue.  All workstations are running Windows XP Pro SP3.

    Install KB2761465. This precedes it.

    I have KB2761465 installed but when I installed KB2799329 IE8 on my XP pro stopped working

    When I removed it, therew as a warning that Firefox may stop working- I have Firefox so is that relevant?

    It works for me, I have installed Microsoft Security Update for Internet Explorer (2761465) in 4 PCs and all have been fixed. Steps: Install a different browser like Chrome or Firefox to download and install Microsoft Security Bulletin MS12-077 - Critical Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (KB2761465) from below link: (Need to choose correct update as per operation system) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms12-077
