SYMPTOMS
The InternetQueryOptionW function should set the fourth parameter in bytes. The fourth parameter is used to set the buffer size. However, if you use INTERNET_OPTION_URL as the second parameter in Windows Internet Explorer 7, the buffer size is set in character numbers. Therefore, the buffer size is half of its actual size.
Note This problem does not occur in earlier versions of Internet Explorer or in the InternetQueryOptionA function.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because of an error in the Wininet.dll file.
