System freezes. Right from its initial delivery from IBM, my Intellistation M Pro type 6849 would freeze once roughly every 3 months. It was a complete freeze requiring cycling power down and back up to recover. There were no warnings - no unusual behaviors, no "blue screen of death", no unusual...

Yes, KB840987 seems to be the offending patch. See my thread entitled "Status Update ... " posted 10/26. (Sorry, but I don't know where to find the thread number. The URL at that thread contains "9419478".)

This pertains to various problems which may appear after installing the latest Win2K security patches, KB840987, KB841356, & KB841533. I have been working with a MS technician on this. First, in my case, my problems disappear with removal of KB840987 - that one seems to be the offender, in my...

With respect to the original issue on this thread (serious problems with the recent Win2000 security update, KB841356, KB840987, & KB841533), this afternoon I uninstalled these three items and the problem disappeared. Therefore, it is now certain that there is, in fact, a very serious bug in...

Several people have reported very serious problems following installation of this recent Win2000 update (KB841356, KB840987, KB841533). Although expression of the defect MAY depend upon a combination of circumstances which does not occur often - there have been only a few reports of the problem...

Thanks for the response to the earlier post and the suggestion that I uninstall the Intel Ultra Storage driver and replace it with the Intel Application Accelerator. I researched these items on the Intel site and find that I currently do not have either driver present on my system. (And the...

I installed the latest Win2K security updates (KB841356, KB840987, KB841533) on Wednesday, 10/13, and I have had two system problems since - one a mysterious hang during the night, and today discovered that a file copy to a CD now hangs part way through. Anyone else experiencing problems since...
