Update: Problems with Microsoft's Patch MS04-011

I installed the patch on a 2000 Pro desktop that some how had the dlttape.sys driver. Machine locked up with 100% cpu usage by the system process. I called Microsoft and got the hotfix. It took me over an hour to get it installed but was worth it as the machine is now back to normal and still patched for the vulnerabilities.

help me

I've went to the website for the MS04-011 patch, but all it gives me is the article. I want the actual downloadable patch. I've downloaded the windos NT 4.0 package, but my comp. says that I need the 4.0 package. Why does this have to be so complicated? The article is leading me to a hundered different things, but not one of the the actual patch. Please help me A>S>A>P>. I can't use the internet, and it is important for all my research and e-mail.

After applying the fix to W2k, it is apparently not possible to
query the "Process" performance data counter (and possibly others)
via the registry interface from an impersonation context.

The Win32 API RegQueryValueEx does not report any error, but
returns a very small amount of data (typically 112 bytes). The same
code works correctly under a non-impersonated context.

I would like to see confirmation from MS that this is an intended
side effect of this patch and suggest a workaround (apart from "so
don't do it"). In any case, it is unacceptable for an api (RegQueryValueEx)
to silently fail. It should either return correct data or report an error;
not simply return invalid data.

Even if the workaround that I have put in place for SAP Gui actually
works, it isn't ideal and has some deficiencies. A better understanding
of the issue would be beneficial.
