Re: KB923980 update

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I tried this procedure and it "appeared" to work. (No updates available on
ms site or on shutdown). One thing though. After I renamed the nwapi32.dll
to nwapi32.old, and then ran the install, the dll file was NOT installed and
nwwks.dll is not there either. However, nwprovau.dll is there with the
correct version. Is all this as it should be?
Thanks again.

Navigate to WINDOWS\system32
Rename Nwapi32.dll to Nwapi32.old

Download the update manually from -

Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 —
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=3cf0b0d1-ff07-40ac-a6ac-44dc4a54f91e

Pack 1 —

Save it, close the browser, install it, and restart the system.
Revisit Windows/Microsoft Update to see if it's offered.

The files updated for XP SP2 are -

Nwapi32.dll
Nwprovau.dll
Nwwks.dll
Nwrdr.sys

They should all be at version 5.1.2600.3015
The .dll files are located in WINDOWS\system32
The .sys is located in WINDOWS\system32\drivers

Right click the files, choose Properties, then click the Version tab to
confirm that the correct files are present.

To confirm the correct versions are present in Win 2K and Windows Server
2003, go here :

Click the plus sign next to Security Update Information.

Thanks to Ariel Monaco for this workaround !
