Can't insert picture's in a publication

[ConnieBWright]

I am unable to insert pictures in a pulication, have been able to do it for
the past year. Now it locks up on me. I read a couple other posting and
tried what they suggested only it still locks up. I went the
www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and the item 383 is to Disable User
Tracking-Enable User Tracking. Could that possibly be my problem?

Thanks for anyone's help, it is driving me crazy!

It is the HP registry fix in the second column, not the tracking fix.

Can you open Publisher okay? Do you get an error when you insert the pictures?
Are you inserting from the Internet?
If you are inserting from the Internet, clear your cache, see if that helps. In
Internet Explorer, tools, Internet Options, delete files.

The HP registry fix should help if this just started happening after the Windows
updates.

I had this problem as well - my computer locking up on me when trying
to insert a picture in Publisher or Word. It's only happened in the
last few days and I noticed I had an automatic update on 20thApril. I
deleted updates reference KB950756 (or KB905756) KB914454 and KB 913807
- there were two others which were not removeable.Whist I was doing
this my computer received some more automatic updates so I can't be
sure if it was this or my action which solved the problem but it is OK
now.

It is an HP issue, You can have the security and the updates by doing the
registry fix.
Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell
after you install security update MS06-015

I can open Publisher OK, I don't get an error when I insert the pictures, it
just locks up and doesn't do anything else. I have to press "control, alt,
delete" to get out of the program. No, I am not using the internet, just
using this one program called "Art Explosion" where you use their CD's. It
always worked before and also I also use the pictures from my flat bed
scanner and that always worked too.

Actually I think the Windows updates happened this week. Where do I go to
find the HP registry fix?

Thanks,
Connie Wright
