KB980376 outlook 2007 waiting to update, then freezing


several of our users have had problems outlook 2007, after installing ms kb980376.

outlook symptoms are:

no new emails downloaded (stuck, "waiting update folders").
clicking inbox or public folders cause outlook stop responding.

fix is:

remove kb980376 add-remove programs. has worked on 6 of our computers far. computers xp sp2, office 2007 sp1.



has else seen this? know how prevent other computers getting these symptoms?

ps: have declined update on our wsus server, lots of computers had downloaded update.

all computers xp sp2, office 2007 sp1.

i argue first complicating factor. given july, 2010, update, can reasonably assume update developed in current operating environment. neither sp2 xp or sp1 fo office 2007 current service packs. suggestion re-test update on xp sp3 / office 2007 sp2 system , see if can duplicate problem. can assure if try engage microsoft in particular issue, that's going response -- "install latest service packs , try again." frankly, i'm surprised update detected on office 2007 sp1 system!

given *security* update outlook 2007, argue not installing update dangerously bad decision.

i deploying update xpsp3/office2007sp2 system now. post if have issues update.
