Re: KB943485 MS Windows Media Player Remote Code Execution - MP6



The system that I am on was 2003, however was downgraded using Dell's utility to 2000.

Are you stating that the OS was WS2003 and was downgraded to Win 2K with a Dell utility ?

Vulnerability in LSASS could allow local elevation of privilege

I highly doubt the above has anything to do with WMP. Nor are there any known issues with the update.
Please clarify the issue so that someone can help out.

I am attempting to install this patch; however, not showing that the patch is being installed. To explain. I run a program that scans my servers for possible security problems, the program picked up that I needed patch KB943485. I downloaded the patch, installed the patch. But I am still receiving the message that this patch isn't being installed.

I have read that if the system is 2003 or XP this problem could exist. The system that I am on was 2003, however was downgraded using Dell's utility to 2000.

Is there a hotfix or a work around to resolve this issue?
