Is anyone else having trouble with XP's latest critical service patch,KB958644 was released on 10/22/2008. Here is what the Microsoft Download
KB958644 ?
Issue 1.
On my wireless laptop last night, a Dell 1505 running XP media SP3, as
soon
as I downloaded the patch and rebooted, my intel wireless pro icon went
clear, from a normal operating green, and when I put my cursor over it, it
said that a different program was controlling the intel wireless pro
adapter.
I have never seen that before or since, and I use that laptop every night.
If I hadn't just downloaded the patch, I would have been more concerned.
It
got on-line fine, and the next time I booted, the normal green intel
wireless
icon appeared, without the wierd explanation. That laptop seems to be
running ok today.
Issue II.
This morning when I got on my main machine, a 4 monitor trading machine
running win xp64, SP II, fully patched, I got on line fine like I do every
day. Then the patch KB958644 downloaded from automatic updates and I
choose
to install it, rebooted and I could not get on-line. I repaired the
connection from control panel/networking, and I got on once, albeit a slow
broken up connection that lasted a minute or so, then no connection at
all.
I run an ATI 4 monitor MV2400 graphic card, 8 gig DDR800 Ram, Dual Core
Intel 930 3 gig processor, and run AVAST antivirus, and spybot. This
machine
has been rock solid and is maybe a year old, give or take several months.
I rebooted a second time, and could not get on again, including the
windows
update site. I tried rebooting several times and never got on again.
Each
time I would go into the control panel/networking and repair my
connection.
It seemed like it was successful repairing, but I never got online again,
not
even the microsoft update site.
I did a complete system restore from yesterday, rebooted, and my machine
was
flying once again. I reinstalled the patch, rebooted, and never got on
line
once. I repeated this several times.
Is anyone else having these problems? I had some xp issues with service
pack
III on one of my 5 machines, but nothing like this from a critical update,
ever.
Does anyone know what this update is supposed to address? I am guessing it
messes with the internet connection somehow, but I am not current on this
update.
Thanks for any help.
Site says:
A security issue has been identified that could allow an unauthenticated
remote attacker to compromise your Microsoft Windows-based system and gain
control over it. You can help protect your computer by installing this
update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to restart
your computer.
This is the generic description of most security updates...
I installed KB958644 yesterday on my two systems. They are running without
problems.
Sorry, I have no idea what the patch does. Furthermore, if I did, I would
not post the patch details in a world wide newsgroup.
