We've been continually examining the best way to assist the customers who may have been impacted by the interaction of 
MS06-015 with the software Mike mentioned before. We wanted to check in and let you know the current plan. Up until now 
there have been several solutions: Upgrade to the newest version of the affected software, a manual registry key fix, 
uninstall the third party software (NVIDIA Drivers versions 61.94 and prior or the Hewlett Packard Share-to-web 
software) or uninstall the update. All of these require the user to take some sort of action.

So what we have done is re-engineered the MS06-015 update to avoid the conflict altogether with the older Hewlett 
Packard and NVIDIA software. We're going to run a test pass on it and we will release this new update on Tuesday, April 
25th. What the new update essentially does is simply add the affected third party software to an "exception list" so 
that the problem does not occur. The revised update automates the manual registry key fix.
