coolman Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Okay, so there is this patch I want to obtain, but it is no longer available from Microsoft. I went to the direct link but it said the file didn't exist. The file name is 256015USA8.EXE and the description is DOS Device in Path Name Vulnerability Patch. This page, however, does still exist:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms00-017Does anyone still have this?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneCrusader Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Always check MDGx's site for HotFixes. He has a good percentage of them linked or archived. Q256015(sometimes they will be renamed to "Q+ the KB#" rather than the original "KB# + (locale) + (5, 8, or M for 95/98/ME)"Which version of 98 are you using? First Edition or Second Edition? If Second Edition, there is a later version of the file involved in this fix... Edited November 16, 2012 by LoneCrusader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomen Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 According to microsoft, the file 256015usa8.exe contains a newer version of Ifsmgr.vxd. Specifically (for win-98se) version 4.10.2223, dated 03/02/2000. On my system, I have version 4.10.2225, with a file-date of Sept 19/2000.So there is a more recent version than the one you're looking for.

Nomen Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 ===========NOTE: If you have several thousand 0kb OEM*.inf files, delete those files first. If after deleting these files, the issue still exists, then apply for this hotfix. Use the following steps to delete any files found:===========If I have several thousand 0kb inf files, I'd be p***ed off. How would I get those files back?And what caused them to have zero size in the first place?And what if I *DON'T* have any zero-size inf files?Will installing this hotfix screw up my system?
