released: bug fix for win32k.sys/CreateXlateObject (execution order)

[Start Me Up]

Hello Windows 2000 fans,

I noticed that there is another bug in the function "CreateXlateObject" in the file "win32k.sys". The execution order of 3 loops is incorrect which leads to the situation, that the static colors in a translation table (Xlate-object) is stored in the table but then are overwritten by dynamic colors directly afterwards.

There is an update available to fix this problem:

WINDOWS2000-OTSKB000003-V1-X86-INTL.exe

There is more information available about this issue and this update in the article in the knowledge database:

OTSKB.chm

The patch updates the file "win32k.sys"

• from the version "5.00.2196.0003"
• to the version "5.00.2196.0004".
