    Inevitable suggestion of commercial compressed file fixer software by a new 1-post-wonder incoming in ... 3 ... 2 ... 1

    There's a link under the word "here" in the quote above... There's another link under the words "page about exFAT" in the quote above... If you search enough, MDGx's page may even have a driver for CP/M...

    At present I do recommend just 3 other true hotfixes, the ones marked as hotfix in this post, and the exFAT upgrade (KB955704), which version for XPSP3 has been already pulled by MS, but can still be found here. Moreover, MDGx's (yes he's alive!) enthusiastic page about exFAT is a good read (although I do still prefer either FAT32 or NTFS, a closed proprietary fs like exFAT dos not thrill me at all, as you may imagine). I haven't identified any other which is a true must, besides those. YMMV, of course!

    Then my diagnosis is right: your system fell victim of a race condition (a bug) existing between threads in winlogon.exe. It quite rarely manifests itself, but sometimes it does. Rest assured the crash you saw has nothing whatsoever to do with the updates you had just applied.

    @Dave-H: That's a classic one! If your machine has a winlogon.exe which version is less than 5.1.2600.6443, I strongly recommend you to install this hotfix: KB2878379-v2. I've never again got a "c000021a" error after installing it.

    You might try it. In case it does not apply to your system it'll just say "the expected version of the product was not found on your system" and install nothing, so it's totally harmless to try it.

    That's truly an unsolvable mystery!
  8. dencorso
    Sure! You may ignore those two all right. If installed they'd just nag you and serve no other purpose. You're better without the two of 'em. Great to hear your system is OK now!

    @SD73: Thanks! As I suspected, you're running Microsoft Update, not Windows Update. So... terminate it, download and install by hand the above two updates (no reboot needed), then run again Microsoft Update, and it should work fast.

    I've just downloaded and installed Comparability Pack update, did the same the IE8 one, and rebooted. Then I told MU to look for updates and waited less than 1 (one) minute, before it gave me the list with the remaining updates. Something is definitely not right. Please, gimme a screenshot of the page on which you've already been waiting for 3h.

    Yes, it's safe, it's very safe, it's so safe you wouldn't believe it.

    @glnz: In a nutshell: When MU takes ages to find anything, stop it, install by hand Office 2007 Comparability Pack and Office 2003 updates (they usually don't require rebooting), then the latest IE8 update, then reboot. After that, MU will find all remaining relevant updates fast. If using WU, instead, then the latest IE8 update and a reboot should be enough. Moreover, as both Office 2003 and 2007 are now EoS, the latest IE8 update and a reboot may be enough for both MU and WU. Refs: <link>,<link>,<link>,<link>. PS: I sent you a PM...

    MSE 4.4.304.0 can still be used and works great. All the info one needs is in "Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows XP" <link>. 'Nuff said!
  14. dencorso
    Done!
  15. dencorso
    He cannot. But you can, as the OP. Just go to the 1st post and hit "Edit", then add the relevant info. I'd do it, were I you, and do it soo, else somene throws an IBM 029 at your window...

    Just for the record: for the last several months @Bersaglio has been posting lists of all updates (XP, .NET, Office 2003 and 2007), complete with direct download links, on this selfsame thread. And now both are EoS, so no more updates ought to be forthcoming except for some security hole so dire MS feels like they cannot avoid releasing an "out of band" fix for it. So browse the thread and maybe you'll find all the updates you need since the latest ones you've already have applied.

    Now you know what I was talking about when I posted the post quoted above... Unless there's a big breakthrough sometime in the future (which I really doubt will ever happen), still the best use for all RAM above the 3.x GiB that XP recognizres is a RAMDisk which knows how to use PAE, like the Gavotte does.

    Because I missed that one. Thank you. I'll add it asap.

    Sez you! Any perfectly tuned good quality crystal ball is able to do it with 100% reliability every Feb 29, during the total part of a lunar eclipse, as you should well know, by now.

    Well... one is supposed not to be able to actually see a new moon, right?

    Right! So, here's a 2nd attempt at providing a visually distinctive icon. This one is rather radical. NewMoon2.ico
