When you view the About MSN dialog box in MSN, The Microsoft Network, the
version of Internet Explorer is shown as 4.0 (4.71.1712.5).

Shdocvw.dll file was not updated in the 4.71.1712.6 build of Internet Explorer.

STATUS

2.51. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here
as it becomes available.
