Urgent Security Upgrades for Windows
 

MSN had this on their front page, linked to

If you have any version of Windows from NT and 98 on up, they have critical updates. No clue what they address, but may be worth a click.

Windowsupdate has been hammered for days. Two machines that I installed these 4 or 5 patches on would not install the last two without a reboot in the middle of the update process. I was shocked that did not break something--we'll see.

Next time, I'm pulling the patches down and installing them by hand, not using windows update (fortunately, my SMS crew had this solved for the corporate laptop ^ ).

Downloaded the updates and all 5 failed to install :confused:

For those who have suceeded in installing the update, did it break anything?

Need to know before I give it another try :).

I got them pushed to me (under WinXP SP2 RC) and haven't had any problems with them...

Same as Scott.

No problems here on any of my W2K machines.

No problems on Win2k sp4 or WinXP sp1a

All is fine on XP sp1 here.

d/l all without a hitch on 3 Win XP Pro machines. I really wonder why I did it as I usuall wait many months to see what problems the d/l occur.

I downloaded these patches about 3 days ago (before I read this thread), and encountered no problems with downloading or after installation on my XP Home Edition.

^ Ran the update on two PCs. They both still work! ^
