Re: Schedule broken after UpdateRollup1

After almost one year of endless trials, to find a solution for this
scheduler-problem, I am conviced, that this is a real

problem of the Microsoft-security-update KB841873 (MS04-022). In the
meantime I could confirm this scheduler-problem with

approx. 10 new installations of Windows 2000 Professional Sp4 german and
with one new installation of Windows 2000

Professional Sp4 chinese. So I think, that it might concern all
language-versions of Windows 2000 Professional SP4.

As a german customer without a service-agreement I would have to pay 99,--
EUR for an eMail-request to Microsoft and much more

for a phone-call. Maybe there is somebody with a service-contract, who could
tell Microsoft about this.

From my point of view there are for the moment only two possible workarounds:

1. Use an alternative scheduler

(if you can - I cannot for certain reasons)

2. Do not install the updates concerned

Note:
-----

If you do not install KB841873 (MS04-022),
the security-risk remains on your computer.

Workaround 2. in detail:
-----------------------

- deinstall Past_Sp4_Rollup1 (KB891861),
using "Software" in Start - Settings - Computer
and restart your computer, as desired.

- confirm, that schedule is running
(it should).

- activate "automatic updates" and wait, until
"new updates are available".
(You can force this by visiting the Windows-Update
website, but do not install any updates offered
there for the time being).

- start the installation of updates by clicking
the respective tray icon and choose
"user defined installation".

- deselect Past_Sp4_Rollup1 (KB891861) and confirm,
that you do not want to see this update again.

- wait again, until
"new updates are available".
(You can force this by visiting the Windows-Update

- deselect KB841873 (MS04-022) and confirm,
that you do not want to see this update again.

Now you can set "automatic updates" as you like it.
Generally I recommend, to leave it on "automatic".

Note:
----

If you ever chosse the option "show disabled updates again"
in the settings of automatic updates, Past_Sp4_Rollup1 (KB891861)
will be installed again and schedule will be broken again.
Then you have to repeat the whole procedure, as described above.

Hi Dave,

thanks for your advice. To tell you the result before: MS04-022 (KB841873)
is the reason for the trouble.

This morning I deinstalled UpdateRollup 1, restarted the computer and
schedule was running. Then I installed MS04-022 (KB841873) and after the
restart schedule was broken as mentioned before.

So I removed KB841873 again and schedule was running again.

I have a downloaded collection of security patches from MS03-039 up to
MS04-045 and I installed them all, leaving out MS04-022 - shedule is
running.

Now I have to download all further missing updates, leaving out
UpdateRollup1.

And I cannot use automatic updates anymore.

Which means, I have a workaround, but not the final solution.

Thank you again for your support.

Regards
Reinhard
