Install The Unauthorized WMF Hotfix Patch
Jan 5, 2006
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.

AFTER APRIL 11TH, WILL YOU BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT UPDATES FOR MICROSOFT PRODUCTS FOR XP?) Let's say for example that it is now April 12th, and a security patch is released for OE 6. Could we just do the following:
1) Go to www.microsoft.com
2.) Individually select the product to update or patch to install (I.E my hypothetical OE 6 question) than download and install the patch?
IS EVERYONE RUNNING XP GOING TO BE PROMPTED WITH SOME MESSAGE SAYING: "ATTENTION: SP-2 IS REQUIRED FOR ALL XP UPDATES." OR, DOES THIS SP-2 MANDATORY APPLY ONLY TO RUNNING WINDOWS UPDATE OR AUTOMATIC UPDATE, meaning that we can still download individual product enhancments by going to www.microsoft.com and selecting by product or service?

I'm looking for the SP2 TCP/IP connection patch from a reliable source. I looked around here at TSG and did not really find anything useful, but i do totally suck azz at searching. What i would really like is a patch that only allows like.20 connections instead of 10. I don't need unlimited or 100 connections, for that defeats MS purpose of this.To slow the spread of virus's. But 10 is just a bit too little for myself b/c i keep getting the connection limit errors in my event viewer.

What the 5.1.2600.2827 patch does? If I understood it correctly it changes the system's default tcp ip limit. How does it operate and which benefits does it bring? I have checked the event viewer and found 17- 4226 entries. Last question. Is it safe?

the second encounter 1.0 to 1.5 update patch onto my desktop, but I canceled as I realised that I didn't need it. So, now I cannot delete it! It it is not set to read-only, it is not in my Firefox's browser downloads list, as I applied the setting of auto-clean up downloads, and I removed it from the list. The thing is that it is looking stupid on my desktop. A stupid pointless block iconed execute file. I made a copy of it and renamed it but still I cannot delete it! An Error comes up saying: 'Error Deleting File or Folder Cannot delte Copy of secondencounterpatch150publicbeta: It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.

I was checking my system when I realised my win xp has not had any security patch updated since Feb 05! A closer check discovered that instead of auto updating as I had assumed, it failed. When I tried to update, it feedback:
Files required to use Microsoft Update are no longer registered or installed on your computer. To continue: Register or reinstall the files for me now (Recommended) Let me read about more steps that might be required to solve the problem
When I clicked the first one, it proceeded to download 100%, register 100% and then went back to the update page. I click "express" and it comes to the above error page again. Continues in this loop. Clicking the second option above brought me through endless useless "help" pages that seem to tell me nothing and offered no real solution.

I applied the 7/13 security patches last night and when manually shutting down this morning, got the blue screen of death. Had to leave for work so not sure what will happen next, but I have had these before with previous security patches.

I know that many in this group support downloading Windows XP updates.Personally,I download and install ONLY what is absolutely necessary, which for me has avoided problems with smooth running systems. There has been much media attention the past couple of days about the Zotob worm, I.E., PnP and compromised Windows security.I know that there is a patch available for download at the Microsoft web site WindowsXP-KB899588-x86-ENU.exe

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?

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.

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 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.
