User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507
Build Identifier: mozilla1.4rc1

Running Mozilla on Windows XP Pro SP2. Applied IE security patch of the week
(believe it was Q815485). Mozilla 1.4rc1 will not launch. Launch attempt by
hand/command line gives no feedback. Reloaded Mozilla 1.4b and things work
properly. Mozilla 1.4rc1 works properly on WinXPhome with current patches.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use MS Windows Update to load IE 6 security patch-o'the-week
2. Reboot per patch instructions
3. Launch Mozilla

Actual Results:  
Mozilla does not launch. Cursor goes to "wait" momentarily, then back to normal.
Launching by hand from command line gives no response. No Mozilla processes are
running on system (checked with Task Manager).

Expected Results:  
Launch Mozilla application.

All prior versions of Mozilla continue to operate properly.

Please check for new Windows updates and a new Mozilla version. Is it still
happening?
