Windows XP SP2 Update Available

An update for Windows XP Service Pack 2 is now available (KB884020).

"This update helps resolve an issue on computers running Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Programs that connect to IP addresses in the loopback address range may not work as expected and you may receive an error message indicating you cannot establish a connection.
After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer."


Get it here:
»www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta···yLang=en

[EDIT] Sorry, but it seems this update should be applied only if you are experiencing this specific problem...

"Only apply it to systems that are experiencing this specific problem. This hotfix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, we recommend that you wait for the next Windows XP service pack that contains this hotfix."

Note: This is the first update I've seen that asks you to voluntarily validate your copy of Windows (not required to download the update).

[EDIT] More info on this update:
