Also had to change my MS Live ID password today...

Huh? Did you receive an email from "Microsoft Customer Support" telling you to do this? See http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.internet.mail/browse_frm/thread/dee00fded1138563.

I do NOT think such messages are legit!

This has been SOLVED but I'll be darned if I know why. Tried loading the
local server anew and running a localhost program (DLL) and it worked.
Nothing that I am aware of changed overnight: No changes, no further
updates, no further boots. Go figure.

Only thing that happened was a backup and AVG scan overnight (scheduled
tasks) but nothing in the virus vault or history.

Also had to change my MS Live ID password today, which bothers me. Wondering
if, in spite of efforts to prevent it, I have some evil program lurking
somewhere. At least I'm productive again.

I am unable to run apps in localhost mode all of a sudden after applying
the
latest MS updates/patches to XP Pro. I can't run by loading the local
server
first and then firing any http;//localhost/isapi/anyprogram.dll/ in either
IE7 or the
latest Firefox. Keep getting HTTP 404 (not found) errors even though the
dll
is physically there. Also can't run it by compiling & linking with the
Run | Parameters set correctly (as always). It loads the server, as it
should, but again a 404. This happends with all working DLLs.

Has anyone else experienced this? There does seem to be a similar issue
with
this update regarding ASP.NET running IIS locally, but I don't run IIS.
Use
OmniHttp instead (for years).

I tested this with firewalls off and antivirus off with admin rights and
also checked the hosts file (OK) and still no go. I am suspecting the
update as the culprit but have no way of proving it and have run out of
options.
Can't degug our development without this working. Any thoughts
appreciated.

XP Pro.
