PSI wants me to update three Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) 3.x, 4.x, and 6.x. I just updated yesterday and the updates included XML Core Services 4.0, SP3 (KB2721691). When I click on the update link in PSI, I get the MS update page that does not show the requested updates. What to do? Ignore? Kaye |

Kaye Have you rebooted & carried out a full PSI rescan since installing MSXML 4? If so what version number is showing in PSI? Does it look like this? https://akkkug.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pMSKZd-0S8z... -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 16GB RAM |

Maurice, Thank you for your response. I thought I had rebooted a couple of times, but rebooted again; and now PSI v.3 shows all three versions of MSXML as updated. My screen view has large icons with a title and checked as updated. Thanks again for your assistance. Edit: I see that there is more detail on the history page. Kaye |

I assume you mean the history page of PSI version 3? If using that version have you noticed there is an update to version 3.0.0.4001? The change log is here: http://secunia.com/products/consumer/PSI/sys_req/ -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 16GB RAM |

Thanks again, Maurice. I updated PSI and now have the screen where I can choose to scan. However, the program doesn't find my default browser (IE8) when I click on Forum and then asks if I want to use IE. Perhaps I should have IE open when I start PSI. Kaye |

Is IE8 set up correctly in the Registry? To see this key, open the Registry Editor by typing "regedit" in the box that appears by clicking "Run" in the start menu on Windows XP. Then navigate with regedit to [b]"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTP\shell\open\command".[/b "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" –nohome or, if using a 64 Bit system "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -nohome If it is not correct,or you cannot find it or if you have no idea how to change the key if incorrect I will be happy to give more detailed instructions. -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 16GB RAM |

Hi Maurice, I wasn't able to use your instructions; so I used "Find" under "Edit" in the Registry Editor until I found: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe" -no home I also found endings after the .exe" such as [ -extoff], [%1], and without the quote marks [,-17] There weren't any brackets. I just put them to distinguish the endings. So it appears that the Registry is correct with the -no home ending. Kaye |

Kaye, I have not been able to recreate your problem using PSI version 3.0.0.4001. This is how you find that key to double check it is correct. 1. Opening REGEDIT Click Start>Run>type regedit in the search box>U are now in the Registry. 2. Finding the correct key to check a. Look in the LEFT PANE & at the top U will see HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. To the left of that key is an arrow. Click it to reveal a long list of Gobbledygook. b. Scroll down that list to the entry http Click the arrow to the left and look for SHELL click the arrow to the left of Shell and look for OPEN click the arrow to the left of Open and it will reveal COMMAND This is what you should see: https://skydrive.live.com/#cid=E9EA368CBD08ADB3&id... Look at the data in the right hand pane & you should see this EXACTLY as written. "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" –nohome Once you have checked click the red cross at the top right of the open window. Is that setting correct? -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 16GB RAM |

Hi Maurice, Found it -- under Data is: (value not set) So the setting is not correct. I must confess that I am somewhat leery of making changes in the registry. Kaye |

Kaye, If you want to fix it just follow these instructions & all will be well. (Most of it is a repeat of what you have already done). Firstly copy the bold detail here (highlight it & then use CTRL+C) "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -nohome Now follow this: Click Start>run>type regedit in the search box>REGEDIT.EXE will appear at the top of the list>click it>from the prompt allow the programme to run>U are now in the Registry. 2. Finding the correct key to modify a. Look in the LEFT PANE & at the top U will see HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. To the left of that key is an arrow. Click it to reveal a long list of Gobbledygook. b. Scroll down that list to the entry http Click the arrow to the left and look for SHELL click the arrow to the left of Shell and look for OPEN click the arrow to the left of Open and it will reveal COMMAND 3. Modifying the key. a. Double click on the word COMMAND. The word COMMAND should be highlighted blue. b. Now look in the RIGHT HAND PANE and U will see an entry starting with an ICON next to the word (default). RIGHT click on the word (default). c. A box will appear. U will see an entry called VALUE DATA d. Now paste(CTRL+V) the detail you copied earlier.IT MUST BE EXACTLY AS WRITTEN. "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -nohome Once inserted click OK> the browser U have chosen should now show under DATA in the RIGHT PANE. Now EXIT the registry by click the RED BOX with a X at the top RIGHT corner. Details here in picture form for you. https://akkkug.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p8fyuWVEDBc... Checking IE8. Open IE>from the top line menu select TOOLS>INTERNET OPTIONS>select the PROGRAMS tab>ensure in the DEFAULT WEB BROWSER section that the MAKE DEFAULT button is greyed out & there is a tick (check mark) in the box provided. -- Maurice Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit OS HP Intel Pentium i7 IE 10 for Windows 7 16GB RAM |

Maurice, Sorry for the delay. I was transferring photos on another computer - what a headache. I think I screwed the process up a few month ago and finally decided to tackle the fix. I followed your instruction for making the changes in the registry and everything worked out fine. Secunia forum now opens in IE. Thank you very much. Kaye |
