Default ! Command Prompt Shift Key Stuck Bug with Newest NTVDM Updates

811493 has nothing to do with the shift toggle problem, that's an ATI
issue, and I've already read the KB article on it.

What happened with 811493 was that after installing 811493 the computer
resets every time I boot up into Windows in normal mode (safe mode works).
I don't even have to log in for the system to reset. If I wait a few
seconds once the login screen comes up, then the hard drive light starts
flashing wildly for a minute. This is normal behavior since Windows is just
loading stuff. However after installing 811493, the system reboots as soon
as the hard drive light starts flashing whether or not I'm at the login
screen or have logged in. Obviously something that is being loaded on boot
up is causing the problem.

I'm fairly certain that I had previously installed 811493 without
problem but the last three times that I've installed it on my system (after
restoring to a pre-811493 state), it caused the reboot problem, so I'm not
sure what's wrong or why it worked the first time.

Anyway, I've posted the shift toggle in the [unofficial] ATI forum and
hopefully that can be fixed. With 811493, I can just opt to not install it,
but the ATI Control Panel is necessary. Thanks for the prompt attention and
help, at least MS tries to fix it's bugs quickly.

| Yes, I tried out the different updates and found that they do not
cause
| it. The Microsoft updates (including the NTVDMs) are not the problem
| although the "811493: Security Update (Windows XP)" update causes my
system
| to reboot immediately every time Windows boots.
|
| As for the EDIT.COM problem, it turns out that it is caused by the

ATI
| Catalyst 3.4 Control Panel update. I did several test installing and
| uninstalling the ATI Control Panels and the problem only occurs when the
3.4
| Control Panel is installed. I've informed them but ATI is notorious for
| ignoring feedback and bug reports.
