Anyone else apply this hotfix and run into issues with
restarting and/or Windows2000 dumps??. 

I've had a couple of people  test-install this on
Window2000 SP2 w/ IE 6 and since the update have had
nothing but problems.....???




<<snipped for content>>
The company was informed about the new variation
on November 27th and started working on a patch to
correct the flaw. The patch is now out and
downloadable on Microsoft's site at

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-058.asp

note that this patch does NOT show up if you click
on "Windows Update" in
the Start menu; you must go to the above URL to get
to the patch.

users who treat Windows Update as their method for
verifying the state of
their system may be in for a suprise.
