The following Window Update is causing GCQL to crash after installation for some users.
* Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6/7 for Windows XP (KB944533)
If GCQL will not load up properly after installing this update, you will need to roll back the changes with the Add/Remove Programs utility.
This issue has been confirmed by multiple users.

Rolling Back the Update: Instructions
Click Start > Control Panel
Select "Add or Remove Programs".
Make sure you are in the "Change or Remove Programs" dialogue, which should be the default view.
Ensure that the "Show Updates" checkbox is ticked.
Scroll down to the Internet Explorer section, and select "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6/7 for Windows XP (KB944533)".
Click "Change/Remove".
It should ask if you are sure. Select "Yes" or "OK" to this and all following dialogues. It should then unsinstall the update.
Your will need to reboot for this change to take effect.

Good to know the staff are keeping a lookout for this sort of stuff...
On another note, one more thing has just been added to the list before 484 can be released.

FYI... I've fixed this crash in the BETA client... this may be a good reason to push really hard to release a update ASAP. I'll see what I can do this weekend.
