The error described in KB899527 is currently effecting me. The article says that Microsoft has a hotfix for the problem and that I only need to contact
Microsoft tech support to get it. Because my Dell computer came with XP Professional instead of me buying Windows separately, I can't contact Microsoft's support to get the hotfix without paying $35. Is there any way to get the hotfix described in KB899527 without paying the $35 fee to contact Microsoft's support department?
I'm trying to obtain the Hotfix described here, but it says I need to contact Microsoft to obtain it. However when I try to generate a support request it says they can't help as my version of Windows was supplied with my PC. All I want is the Hotfix, I don't need to speak to a rep - why don't they just provide it for download on the website?
I have an intermittent problem with XP not recognising USB devices. Knowledge Base Article 892050 says a HotFix is available. However, when I try to obtain it, I am told this will cost me £35
I just stumbled on to this forum searching the web to see what all those hotfix programs are on my PC. How do I know which ones I can remove from my programs?
After installing some recent updates from microsoft my computer restarts on it's own. After I disabled the automatic restart on failure feature I noticed the 0x0000008e error. The computer does this on every reboot. I have to restore the computer to before the updates are installed and then it works perfect. I am not about to be charged 35 bucks for a phone call if they are not going to help me. This error only happens after the latest updates. I'm about 20 security updates behind now and I can't update with out the error. Someone please help, I do not want to do a wipe and reload if I'm not sure it is going to fix it. My computer is free of viruses, spyware, malware trojans etc.
I have been trying to install the unauthorized WMF hotfix patch but keep getting that my system is not compatible with it. Once it said there was a problem with the windows installer package. I have Windows XP home. I used to have Service Pack 2 but removed it because of errors I was getting. Since removing it back in November, I have had no more errors. I now only have Service Pack 1. I do, however, still have some Service Pack 2 updates installed. I don't know why it says my system is not compatible with the patch. I did unregister the picture & fax viewer as suggested by Microsoft.
i have an XP SP2 pro OS. A couple of days ago i updated it and now a prob surfed with this KB925902 when i tried to install the Vista transformation pack V7. it also gave me a link to a thread in a forum where they discuss how to fix this problem through hacking a dll something. Dont know if any of you guys know about it or had encountered it before. anyways, i didnt save this tut, and now that i wanted to do something about this prob i tried to visit this thread again, but i am faced with a prob. The internet explorer will have to close everytime i go to this thread. Why you guys? so far its only on this link.
what should i do to fix this prob? i did follow a few links here and there on forums and finally i installed the XP-KB935448-X86-ENU.exe which is supposed to sort this prob out (well at least that is what i understood). The prob is still out there. When i tried to un-install this KB925902, a message popped out and said something in the lines of "other KBs and applications might not work properly if you delete / un-install this item". So i halted the remove process, and found my way to here.
Is it safe to delete the hotfix uninstallers through ccleaner? I did a google search and people were talking about ccleaner deleting a folder that shouldn't be deleted along with the hotfix uninstallers when the option to do so is ticked. Is there a better - safer - way to do this?
Just done a (belarc) analysis of PC and found that a security hotfix for the .NET framework is missing - item Q886903. It explains a lot as to why it won't work properly for me, but the question is: How do I get hold of it and install it? I've been all over the MS sites and can find lots of data,info etc, but nowhere to click on to download it.
