Re: KB905915 Update Fails

Hi Freudi;

Acritical annotation to my previous message.

The info I sent you on the cfdview.dll file was incorrect. I had copied
them from more than one station to look at and compare. The info I sent you
was for one of the computers that will download. The file for Jan's computer
is older (09/20/2005)and will not show any information when properties is
slected. It shows an hourglass for about a minute and then nothing happens.
It must be the problem. Can a file from one of the good computers or the
original install disk be used to overwrite it? Or is there a source at the
Windows site where I can to get a new file to replace it?

Again much thanks.
