Bugtraq: RE: After Ms patches last Wed ...

["Brito, Nelson (ISS Brazil)" <NBrito () iss net>]

(As usual, and obviously: not speaking on behalf of my employer.)

I didn't see anything unusual, neither with my Win2k nor with my WinXP boxes. 

It'd be a machine specific or something conflicts with some DLL(s). 

It is usual to replace some DLL(s) when install some program(s).

Cheers.
