latest hotfixes...SP2?? / WIndows File Protection
I thought SP2 was in beta? But looking at add/remove programs, I have the
following entries which are all marked as SP2. Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) [See KB810243 for more information] Windows XP Hotfix (SP2)Q322011 Windows XP Hotfix (SP2)Q327979 Windows XP Hotfix (SP2)Q814995 I have only ever downloaded recommended updates from Msoft update. Off to look at KB810243(and maybe the rest) to see what it says but in the meantime, any info? The thing that made me look at these was that I have been getting an intermittent error which started just a few hours after installing the last recommended update (whatever that was, are they in date order?). The error is to do with Windows File Protection* suggesting I insert my XP CD so it can load some system files from that. This doesnt sound like a good idea to me since I am fully up to date with windows updates so I think it will mean I have new files from windows update and old ones from the disk (it is an Sp1 disk). I do not have a virus or spyware. I suspect this is an erroneous error message so I'd rather try to fix it myself before getting an unpleasant mix of old and new files on my system. *Files that are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions -- Tumbleweed Remove my socks for email address |
