M$ 'Fixes'

I've just run good old Belarc Advisor and it said I needed to reinstall a couple of hot Fixes:-

UPD239887 and UPD274370.

I Googled the first one, got it staright away and d/ld it no probs from M$.

Did the same again with the second number and all M$ does is send you round in ever decreasing circles but never coming up with the fix!!!! the fix itself isn't that important but the fact that M$ put you in a loop wastes my time.

Anyone else had this problem with Fixes Please.

Many thanks in advance, Cochise,

 

Hi Cochise,

I think you will waste a lot of time, trying to find it on the web, because it is not offered for download:

Yep! your exactly right Pieter.

Sorry, I should have explained better, I only used Google to get to the M$ site as per your Link, but once there see if you can find the Q274370 'Fix' for the blue screen doodad and see if you get as frustrated as I did.

I followed all the M$ Links and they lead to a dead end, no 'Fix', unless I'm missing something which I might well be.

Thanks for the Super-Fast response,

Regards Cochise,

 

Hi Cochise,

Apparently I wasn't very clear either.
You only need that patch if you are experiencing the problem described at that link. If you do, you have to contact M$ to obtain the fix.

OK Pieter, Thanks,

I'll follow those links again and see if I can find out how you actually manage to contact M$ on that site. Like I said, I'm not really bothered about this 'Fix' but finding it just became a challenge.

All I kept finishing up at was 'What OS I had' and whether the 'Component' was OEM or not! which wasn't what I really wanted to know.

Best Regards, Cochise.

 

OK. Enjoy the hunt.

Pieter

 

Cheers Pieter and Good Health,

Also many Congrats on the 'Posties' they've been life-savers to many.

Merry Christmas to you and yours,

Regards, Cochise,
