Re: KB908531 (MS06-015) & HP hardware devices - FYI

Adrian UK scribbled:
Try looking at DSLR(DSL reports) the posts there show that the problem
exists on MANY machines that have NEVER had any HP software.
Paint shop Pro and Acronis are affected.
I have a machine that has no HP software,my neighbour has 3 PC's and
NO HP software ,they simply cannot be used with this update installed.
Clearly the problem lies with the update,it did not exist prior to
install.

I have both Paintshop pro and Acronis True image on my computer and I DONT have any problems with this or the other 4 updates I downloaded and installed on the 13th April....

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What have I done wrong?????????????????????????

;-)

A little bit of planning, and knowing when and how Microsoft releases the updates goes a LONNNNGGG WAAAYYY towards avoiding these problems, even for home users (like myself) with one computer.
