Thanks Acheron and Mim0 re KB975558. I had done a bit if digging at the end of last week and come to the same conclusion, but hadn't had opportunity to comment until now!

All, I've had a go at this one as well, with differing results. I noted ykchanaed's earlier comment and included KB975558 in HFSVCPACK_SW1 folder. Checking the resultant OS files against the KB article versions gives the following results: File: mpg4ds32.ax - expected v8.0.0.4504 - got v8.0.0.4504 File: mp4sds32.ax - expected v8.0.0.406 - file missing File: mp4sdmod.dll - expected v10.0.0.3706 - got v11.0.5721.5262 (presumably since I'm including WMP11) File: mp4sdecd.dll - expected v11.0.5721.5274 - got v11.0.5721.5274 I note that the KB has 2 versions of mp4sdmod.dll listed, v9.0.0.4509 & v10.0.0.3706. Obviously WMP11 dropped off the radar! I think for the moment I'll let WU handle this one, unless there's a simple answer! Regards.

look here and here Mim0, Thanks for the pointers. That clears up that problem for me!

Hi Muppet Hunter, I spent some time yesterday looking at registry tweaks. One of these is for disabling of autorun for KB967715. You have the registry tweak listed in your Common Updates section, but the associated (and pre-requisite) hotfix has been removed from the list. Is there a reason for this? Regards, JonWell

As a starter may I just express thanks to Tommy P et. al. for all the work that has gone in to HFSLIP, and to Muppet Hunter for maintaining the Windows XP hotfix list. Both have been invaluable to me in sorting out my XP systems. Muppet Hunter, Can I just raise a few issues with the list that you might like to address with the September hotfix list. Towards the end of the Security Hotfixes section there is an entry for Asycfilt.dll. The filename correctly shows KB979482, but the KB is shown as 979902. Is this correct? In the August list you replaced KB973687 with KB973686, which was entirely logical with the introduction of KB2079403; however, this combination causes errors in the setuperr.log. I reverted to using KB973687, which solved the problem. May I suggest the list reflects this? In the IE Hotfixes section KB982632 was replaced by KB982664 in the August patches. The MUAuth.cab link gives Error 404. The IEAWSDC.CAB and opuc4.cab links both result in a 'WEB page is unavailable' message from the MS office WEB site. Many thanks. JonWell
