Bear, that didn't help:
I followed your instructions precisely as written - after I completed your
step 5 and restarted IE6, the error came back - here's the event log entry:

I'm going to remove 942615 again, because after your step 3 when I started
IE6 I didn't experience the problem. Thanks for trying, though.
