| Do you use the AutoCAD suite? was it affected?
I'm only asking because one of my client's uses it on Vista and he already had to use a hack to get it to run within Vista. Poor guy... Poor Vista clients!
EDIT: am I confused here? is it XP or Vista that is affected? | |

In any case, I doubt this would've been "news worthy" if it weren't truly causing so much trouble. | |

| Normally I'd say that because of the amount of configurations that are out there a few problems are unavoidable. However, I think this was the patch for the animated cursor issue. How is it possible to dork things like Autocad or antivirus software when patching this type of function? Sloppy. | |

| On the 18th of April you will have the choice of using Avira on your Vista machines instead if you want it. Also free at www.freeav.com
On XP, I always use it and never have problems. It is also easy on the resources as it's only an antivirus and nothing else added. Windows firewall is just fine for me. | |

Well join the club, I have Windows 2000 and most of my apps I use often are working normally as well, I guess it depends on a few measures of some apps, but I guess our systems are maybe just different if that seems like a good answer? | |

»www.tabletquestions.com/windows-···led.html
I have not seen any major issue reported about the update so it most be isolated to certain software configuration. Usual, if their was a major problem with the Microsoft update, I would see a lot of news articles about the subject in my in-box.
Nothing else to report, but that could change.

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. | |

| Re: Dang... 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.

After installing the updates, I went outside for approx 2 hours, so rebooting a few hundred times is likely to cause problems. | |
