| Let us know how it goes. What I thought was strange is that there is no when click on "Read more" before you download nothing comes up and when you search for that KB number nothing is found and they say no Bulletins for December will be released. So maybe they aren't done with updating everything.

Me too! However, I don't have and never had FrontPage Server Extensions installed according to Windows' Add/Remove Components list in my Windows XP Professional SP1 system.
I think it's a problem!

Okay, re-booted (sorry, it took me awhile, I was installing an external hard drive) and haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary, I did install both updates that appeared in my updates list:
Update for Microsoft Windows XP (KB826942)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB810217)
I don't know if this makes any difference, but I've not noticed any crazy textbox scrolling since I updated, but that doesn't imply that the either of the above updates fixed the helicious update on November 11,2003 that raved havic on most people's computers running Windows.

Yep, I had 3 machines that had the KB810217 available. Installed 2 of them, one failed. After rebooting the failed machine and reattempting, it was no longer available for download, even though the history shows the failed install, I can't download it and it's not available........way to go MS$. Technet says nothing released on Dec 9, yet you have this listed as being a critical update on the Windows Update site, and on one machine with Auto Update turned on, the notification popped up stating that KB810217 was available.......after researching this, it appears that KB810217 was released in November! So what gives....is it a re-release or did someone screwup?

Re: Microsoft Security Bulletins for 12/9/2003
I noticed my office machine with Windows XP Home SP1 (Dell OEM; all updates except yesterday's update that is mentioned) showed this update. I cannot find this FrontPage Server Extensions package in Windows' Add/Remove Components list. I don't think XP Home even has this feature.
I am not going to get it until I hear words from Microsoft.

Thanks for the updates JmanB !
BTW - did anyone else notice the cut and paste job at the end of first two answers?

When you click on "read more..." for the update it takes you to a page which states: " No Security Bulletins for December Monthly Release (December 9, 2003) " A bit confusing to say the least. |

Very confusing! Even on a clean XP Professional!
I asked Lucy if this update was an error to show up:
"No, it's not an error. This is a valid update. If you have the web server extensions then Windows Update will offer the update to install."
Anyways, share your finds on msnews.microsoft.com newsgroup server in microsoft.public.windowsupdate newsgroup.

>When you click on "read more..." for the update it takes you to a page which states: " No Security Bulletins for December Monthly Release (December 9, 2003)
I just ran Windows Update and the critical patch is shown, but I have no "read more" place to click! I have never, ever before seen a critical patch on Windows Update site where I could not learn more about the patch! If I hadn't just read the Cnet article and what Lucy had to say via antdude's post, I would be wondering if someone had hacked into Windows Update and was spoofing us! I'd say Cnet's characterization of Microsoft confusing itself is a bit mild!
I checked and I do have the web server extensions that Lucy mentions located where she indicates. I guess I am one of those to whom the update was supposed to be offered in November but was not. However, I do NOT have XP home edition. I have XP Pro version SP1a. Lucy says this fix is for those with XP HOME SP1 who don't have FrontPage Server Extension in Add/remove. Well I have XP PRO and I don't have this extension in Add/remove but I have it nonetheless. So, where do I fit in this scenario?
To confuse matters further, where is the Microsoft Security Bulletin for this? I received nothing in my email yesterday or today. I do not have automatic update turned on. I rely on the Security Bulletin List serve and this site for notifications. So where is the security bulletin for this? Even if this patch is just a reissue for those who were not offered the patch last month for some strange reason, then why is there not a Bulletin explaining this and why have I not received this Bulletin in my email?

Here is the KB....as you can see, it was released in NOV 2003 and there is no modification to the date....still says NOV 2003. Is it being re-released? Did they forget to release it in Nov? WTH?
