| Dang... Normally I wait a few days when ever MS sends out their critical updates. Usually cause I dont feel like restarting my computer.
But last night I was shutting down to do some maintenence and abescentmindedly pressed enter at the shutdown screen when selected was the "Install updates and shutdown" (since I disabled autoinstall).
So we shall see if I have a computer when I get back after work/class.

I installed the update last night.
After reboot I got an error about an OCX file being incorrect and to contact the vendor.
Did a Google search and the file was part of ActiveX so the vendor was MS.
Tried a different tack, went into Add/remove programs, showed all updates and clicked on the link to the MS Security Bulletin for the update.
It mentioned exactly the error I was seeing and mentioned there was a known issue with systems with Realtek drivers.
I have an HP Pavilion with just that setup.
Clicked on the link in the security bulletin to get another download to fix the problem.
Downloaded that file and rebooted.
Problem solved. |

1 edit | I can confirm your experience. I had the same OCX error message on my Sony Vaio VGN-TXN15 after applying the patch. It has RealTek HD audio and the control panel functionality was lost. No big deal, but the average who receives that error may panic.
Then again, I can also confirm that RealTek's drivers suck dodo eggs. I cannot understand how it is they can even release them as unstable as they are.
My other two workstations had no issues that I'm currently aware of. But based on the experience with the laptop, I wouldn't be at all surprised if some other piece of software fails. I think MS will have to fix their fix.

| Hmmm....HD Audio, huh? I wonder if this has anything to do with DRM kak?
It's a thought...Just a thought. |
