Actually, this is the update that's going to have a fix on the 25th. The one you're 
referring to is a cumulative update for IE.

Problems in Windows Explorer or the Windows shell after you install security update

When I try to start the browser as normal, the browser won't start..

What do you mean by start as normal? It sounds like you can run IE with no problems, 
but the shortcut doesn't work. You haven't explained in much detail. 

You didn't say when you installed the update, but if it's just in the last few days, 
restoring a registry backup may solve it. But, the update will be no longer be installed.

Go to Start/Shutdown, choose Restart in MS DOS mode, or.. reboot and hit the CTRL 
key just before Windows loads, until you get the boot menu. Choose Command prompt 
only. 

At the C:\> type: scanreg /restore Press enter. A good backup will have the 
word "Started" before it. Choose a date prior to this problem. Then hit Enter. You 
should get a message that Windows successfully restored the registry. Then CTRL_ALT_DEL 
to get back into Windows.
