Microsoft Security: Unchecked Buffer in Windows Shell Could Enable System Compromise

Hey Arie long time no see

I just ran windows update on 5 of my winxp sp1 systems and one of them refuses to complete the update of this particular hotfix 821557

problem:
1. after i updated via windows update and restarted computer and rechecked for other updates it always listed 821557 as yet to be installed
2. so i downloaded the actual hotfix and ran it, and it says cannot copy shell32.dll from the extracted hotfix location (i checked at shell32.dll does exist)

here's the error i get



anyone experience this ? my other 4 systems updated fine.

thanks

 

false alarm, sort of

well, i killed NAV2003 and palm hotsync conduit and it worked and updated.. strange that i have the same apps running on my other pcs and updated fine
