KB943460 blocks shockwave player

Using IE6 on Windows XP sp2, and adobe flash player and shockwave player.
Once KB943460 was installed, .swf files wouldn't play anymore. I got a blank
white screen. As soon as I uninstalled the patch, they played fine. I have
been able to repeat on other machines.

Cannot reproduce here (IE7/WinXP SP2).

Adobe - Test Adobe Shockwave and Flash Players:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/

I've got Shockwave Player v11.0.0.0
(http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi; released earlier this
week) and Flash Player v9.0.115.0 installed here.

If no joy: What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)?

I am using IE6 with WinXP SP2. Using the same versions of the Adobe products
that you mention.
Our anti-virus is Trend Micro Office Scan.
While debugging, I did try disabling the anti-virus to no avail.
No spyware.
On an enterprise VPN connection.

How strange. Using Firefox 2013 on Win XP sp2. Installed KB943460 along
with couple dozen others on Feb 7th, new computer. Have never had flash
or shockwave problems.

Do you have FF so you could determine if that KB conflicts with an IE
security setting?
