Thanks, by far the most easy, fast and elegant way to do (and undo!) this.

By Disabling this NetBios is it still possible to connect to other computers/networks in a lan?

I can't experiment this, because I do not connect to a LAN.

Please try this [backup 1st] to make sure it works properly on your computer(s).

If it doesn't, please restore your registry keys and all files.

Thanks.

No it disable all computers on a network.

It is strange - at first Microsoft promissed to fix all critical security flaws, then it failed to do it.

Petr

What, pray tell, Petr, is so strange about that? MS doesn't have a good track record it that department anyways.

as that Woody guy would say, "Trustworthy Computing" - see his article about MS06-015 not being offered for Win98/ME:

Because we could sue Microsoft because they claimed that there will be an update and know there isn't.

It was so clear that they won't make a patch but they didn't even try.

The good thing is that Microsoft couldn't downgrade the security rating from critical to not critical now(like they did often).^^

They can only say it's too dificult..., there are incompatibilities,.... lazy M$ .

Patch Tuesday again

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/ms06-jun.mspx

And the surprise there should be 5 updates for Win98/ME .

The bigger surprise is the wmf security issue gets patched :

One more resident s**ker?? They're surely lost 9x code.

heh, DONT waste your time trying to actually sue M$ just to make 'em patch 9x systems now, winxpi. you'll just get into even more trouble.

Note that the new W98/ME updates are NOT yet posted at Windows Update today. Wait until Wednesday noon or afternoon for them to be posted at WU.

New WMP 9/10 security update [917734]:

Edited June 13, 200620 yr by erpdude8

I don't think they lost any code, they're just too lazy to make patches for 9x OSes.

They probably fired/layed off/reprofiled/etc all 9x OS developers/maintainers/support staff, they only need NTx people now.

Why would they keep them, they don't make any money from 9x OSes.

And they can't wait for July 11 to arrive, so they can ditch 98/ME support altogether.

Just checked WU + WUC... no 98/ME updates posted yet.

I'll try again tomorrow [thanks erpdude8].

Petr:

for the MS06-026 GRE WMF issue:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/ms06-026.mspx

instead of patching gdi32.dll/gdi.exe [?].

These 2 files [Q918547.DLL + KB918547.EXE] are identical with the ones from the English fix because internal language properties box displays English.

The catch is that these 2 files are only residents [TSRs], just like Q891711.

5 updates for win98 on windowsupdate have arrived! (including a wmp9 update). Nice surprise I think, unexpected. To bad for the extra TSR (again...) but its better than nothing.

Urlmon.dll version is updated to 6.0.2800.1550. Winupdate still works on my system, hope this will be the same for other activeX apps.

All June 2006 Security Vulnerability Fixes now posted at WU + WUC.

New URLMON.DLL works properly with WU/WUC/OU, no need for URLMONFX anymore.

Bad news, the GRE WMF fix is made of 2 TSRs, similar to Q891711, actual GDI32.DLL/GDI.EXE *not* patched.

So do we need this file KB918547.EXE cuz i installed it and i get the red x in qfe

So do we need this file KB918547.EXE cuz i installed it and i get the red x in qfe

when you say "red x" in Qfe, do you mean Qfecheck? Does Qfecheck report those two files Not found?

here's the problem with the KB918547.inf file I found in these two lines:

--

HKLM,%UpdateKey%\%SPKey%\%LocaleID%%UpdID%,%10%\KB918547\KB918547.EXE,,"4.10.0.2224"

HKLM,%UpdateKey%\%SPKey%\%LocaleID%%UpdID%,%10%\KB918547\Q918547.dll,,"4.10.0.2224"

--

they should be the following:

--

HKLM,%UpdateKey%\%SPKey%\%LocaleID%%UpdID%,%11%\KB918547\KB918547.EXE,,"4.10.0.2224"

HKLM,%UpdateKey%\%SPKey%\%LocaleID%%UpdID%,%11%\KB918547\Q918547.dll,,"4.10.0.2224"

--

%10% should be %11% [%10% goes to Windows folder while %11% points to \Windows\System\ folder]

I'll make and INF file that will correct this registry blunder by MS.

ARE you ABSOLUTELY sure the updated URLMON.DLL file from MS06-021 works with WU & OU? Urlmon.dll file I'm using is version 6.00.2800.1551 [the RTMQFE version].
