I had a different issue after Wednesdays updates. Two win2k computers
in
my office were rendered useless after the patch. They were fine
before,
but as soon as the patch finished and the PC was rebooted, the CPU
usage
was 100% and nothing could be done. I left both PC's sitting for about
20
minutes and the 100% CPU usage never came down. Another coworker said
he
had the same issue with his home PC and he was eventually able to get
into
the task manager and noticed that the system process was taking up
99-100%
of the CPU. Anyone else experience this issue?
I have experienced this issue, eventually I was able to uninstall the patch, the specific one that caused it was KB835732. According to some information I found using Google it makes a difference if the Secondary IDE Channel's Device 1 is set to use DMA if available as a transfer mode instead of PIO Only. I'm not sure just how valid this is because I have not tried, but I would be interested to know if anyone managed to get this fixed after installing the patch. I'm not happy about having to leave my system vunerable right now. Andy
