· 091215_KB977984 - Users are not allowed to choose download destination if the current drive is full.
· 091218_KB978007 - Customization of UAString may result in web sites not recognizing the browser and reporting an error "The browser is out of date".
Certain Web sites check the browser’s User-Agent string to identify the browser navigating to their site. The default User-Agent string sent to all sites is “MSIE 6.0”.
You can change the string that is sent to a specific site by changing the UAString in the registry. The UAString replaces the User-Agent header when users navigate to that site.

To changes the registry setting:
1. Navigate to the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\UAMap2. Identify the site that receives the new User-Agent string in the HostNameSuffix field. For example, http://www.contoso.com/ is listed as contoso.com.3. Replace the UAString field with a custom User-Agent string. For example, you can change the UAString for contoso.com to “Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; Internet Explorer Embedded; Windows NT 5.1)”.
The default string “MSIE 6.0” is replaced by “Internet Explorer Embedded.”

NOTE: Some sites my not recognize the custom User-Agent string. The UAString must be tested for each site.
