RE: !!Fix!! Blue Screen after W2K Update Rollup

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

All,

The fix described in this Email thread worked for me as well. But, there may
be a slightly easier and/or more preferable way. See Article ID 891861
"Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4" dated today 7/30/2005 (revison 8.0).
Apparently it may be sufficient to replace just Scsiport.sys from the
uninstall backup directory rather than running the 'spuninst.txt' batch file
as this Email thread recommends. This may apply only to folks with "an older
non-Plug-and-Play ISA, EISA, or Micro Channel Architecture (MCA) SCSI
controller" as per the article. I haven't actually tried it, as I saw this
new posting of KB891861 just after I backed out the whole SVP4 rollup 1 per
instructions later in this Email thread.

One other thought. I'm an IT guy, not a Windows sys admin. But, after I got
my machine back and fully booted up (after running the batch file
'spuninst.txt' per this Email thread), I went to "Add/Remove" programs to
uninstall the Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4. This performs a bunch of
file copies (presumably same as 'spuninst.txt'- perhaps actually using the
same script), but also synchronizes the registry and does some cleanup. This
may be a useful/important step after performing the manual rollback using
'spuninst.txt'? Those of you who know are encouraged to advise.

Thanks to all of you who posted and helped guys like me save our machines.

One other contribution: In this thread Fritz posted that he might try
applying the MS05-18 Hotfix (which is part of the rollup in question). While
my machine was KO'd by the full rollup, it seems to tolerate the KB890859
hotfix (MS05-18: Vulnerabilities in Windows kernel could allow elevation of
privilege and denial of Service).
