Before you rush off and fool with your registry or try to follow the

A new patch is being issued by Microsoft for the people with problems on
April 25th.

This is an article about it. Microsoft is fixing the patch.

If I was an MVP I would say, "Go to these complicated instructions and fix
your machine yourself. What you don't know how! You must be a moron! Let us
all review what is wrong with you! Your life should be dedicated to fixing
Microsofts problems!"

But I am not an MVP so I recommend that you go to google news and search
news articles with the words "microsoft" and "patch" and read about numerous
people and IT departments having poroblems with various patches. Some will be
for the individual consumer and will lead you to real solutions.

MVPs go to it! Attack the customer.

Hmm, I've yet to see anyone, MVP or not, attack the end user about this
issue. You must be reading posts that I don't see.

Several MVPs *have* been pointing to these instructions. We are all learning
these things gradually and adjusting our advice as we go. What is it that
you find so comtemptible about people who spend many hours a week trying to
help others?

Although most of us find some satisfaction in this assistance in general, do
you think we actually enjoy answering one question after another about a
problem, posted by people who cannot take the time to read the replies to
the previous dozen questions about that same problem?

One can see why modifying the registry would, in your case, be 'fooling'
with it.

The MVPs and others who are trying to help have been giving out what
information they had, as it became available. I've seen some complaints that
people haven't bothered to read other messages before posting, but I have
seen no belittling of others by any of them. You seem to be full of good
things to say, yourself.

Fiddling with the registry is what is called for and the proposed tinkering
is very minor and easily undone if it doesn't work. The article you are
pointing people to is simply a way of letting someone else fiddle with the
registry.

While the news that a new version of the update will be released on Tuesday
is welcome news, it doesn't help people who need to get work done now. We've
been trying to get those people some help. You could contribute by doing the
same.
