(As usual, and obviously: not speaking on behalf of my employer.)

I didn't see anything unusual, neither with my Win2k nor with my WinXP boxes. 

It'd be a machine specific or something conflicts with some DLL(s). 

It is usual to replace some DLL(s) when install some program(s).

Cheers.

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.


I have run into the same thing with 2K workstations as well 
as 2K server.
On a side note, an XP 'goof off' box I use will no longer 
connect to the
online card games or anything else.  (Thank goodness for BSD).



Anyone else experience this issue?
