28.8.2009HD Audio patch for cursor patch
Yes, a patch for a patch: When
you start a computer that is
running Microsoft Windows XP
with Service Pack 2, the
Realtek HD Audio Control Panel
may not start. Additionally,
you may receive the following
error message:
"Rthdcpl.exe -
Illegal System DLL Relocation
The
system DLL user32.dll was
relocated in memory. The
application will not run
properly. The relocation
occurred because the DLL
C:WindowsSystem32Hhctrl.
ocx occupied an address range
reserved for Windows system
DLLs. The vendor supplying the
DLL should be contacted for a
new DLL.
This problem occurs when the
Realtek HD Audio Control Panel
(Rthdcpl.exe) by Realtek
Semiconductor Corporation is
installed."
This problem may
occur after you install
security update 925902
(MS07-017) and security update
928843 (MS07-008). The
Hhctrl.ocx file that is
included in security update
928843 and the User32.dll file
that is included in security
update 925902 have conflicting
base addresses. This problem
occurs if the program loads
the Hhctrl.ocx file before it
loads the User32.dll file.

10.09.2007Remaining Ultimate Extra Language Packs Released
We are pleased to announce the release of the remaining 19 languages packs for Windows Vista Ultimate. This Ultimate Extras release brings the total
number of language packs for use with Windows Vista Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI) to 35. Windows Vista Ultimate enables users install
multiple languages on their system and quickly switch between them by associating a system language with their login name.
MUI is
particularly useful in multilingual homes where multiple people use a single computer and choose different languages for their primary use. People who
wish to learn a new language will also find MUI to be a particularly useful feature. We are aware of a very large number of customers who have
purchased Ultimate for this feature specifically and are gratified that these customers can now realize the full benefit of Windows Vista Ultimate.
The languages we are adding today are as follows...

24.10.2007Rafael's at it Again
As a lot of people are aware, Rafael from Within Windows has been finding and exposing un-released Windows 7 features, most notably the "Superbar"
and Desktop Slideshows.
He has now created a full unlocking tool called "Blue Badge" that will unlock the following features:
- The Superbar
- Gestures and Panning (for use on touch screens)
- Desktop Slideshows
Please note two things:
1. This application does NOT back up any of the files it patches, so to be safe, you will need to back up these files:
WindowsExplorer.exe
WindowsSystem32wisptis.exe
WindowsSystem32ieframe.dll
WindowsSystem32shell32.dll
WindowsSystem32stobject.dll
WindowsSystem32TabletPC.cpl
WindowsSystem32themecpl.dll
WindowsSystem32themeui.dll
WindowsSystem32powercfg.cpl
-----------
2. This application IS compatible
with systems currently running the superbar who want to extend their desktop to allow the three other features.

10.11.2008Microsoft Patch Causes Problems with Programs
Microsoft has issued a hotfix
for users of Windows XP SP2
experiencing problems with
third-party programs.
Last Tuesday's
out-of-cycle MS07-017 update
was Microsoft's answer to a
number of vulnerabilities,
including the Windows ANI bug.
But with those fixes
apparently caused problems for
users of ElsterFormular, a
German tax calculator; the
Realtek HD Audio Control
Panel; TUGZip, a freeware
archiving tool; and CD-Tag.
When the
update was first released the
week of April 2, Microsoft
noted the problem with Realtek
HD Audio Control Panel and
published a hotfix
simultaneously with MS07-017
to help users, according to a
blog post by Christopher Budd,
program manager at Microsoft
Security Response Center.

10.04.2007Symantec false positive cripples thousands of Chinese PCs
A signature update to
Symantec's anti-virus
software crippled thousands of
Chinese PCs Friday when the
security software took two
critical Windows .dll files
for malware.
According to numerous blog
entries from Chinese computer
users, a virus signature
database seeded yesterday
mistook two system files of a
Chinese edition of Windows XP
SP2 as a Trojan horse which
Symantec dubs
"Backdoor.Haxdoor." The
anti-virus software -- Norton
AntiVirus, for example, or the
anti-virus component of the
Norton 360 or Norton Internet
Security suites -- then
quarantined the netapi32.dll
and lsasrv.dll files.
"With these files
removed, Windows XP will no
longer start up, and even the
system Safe Mode no longer
functions," said one user
writing to the
alt.comp.anti-virus newsgroup
this morning...

19.05.2007UxStyle beta now available
Rafael Rivera from Within Windows has announced that UxStyle Core beta now available for download. To give us some information on what UxStyle Core
is, we'll start with a little history. Back in the Windows XP days, users were able to modify a system file called Uxtheme.dll and create custom
.msstyle files, thus creating their own desktop themes to replace the default "Luna" theme. However, over time, patching went from just one file
to multiple files and repatching was necessary when Microsoft would update the Uxtheme.dll files.

22.06.2009Norton Antivirus targets Windows files on Chinese computers
Chinese PCs running Symantec
antivirus software have been
incapacitated by a faulty
virus signature update
delivered automatically to
users on Friday about 1:00
a.m. Beijing time. Symantec's
antivirus scanning engine
mistook two critical system
files (netapi32.dll and
lsasrv.dll) of the Simplified
Chinese edition of Windows XP
Service Pack 2 for a Trojan
horse, then falsely
quarantined them, which in
turn crippled Windows. If an
affected PC was rebooted,
Windows failed on start-up and
showed only a blue screen.
According to China's
state-sponsored Xinhau News
Agency the number of PCs were
in the millions while other
reports cited numbers as low
as 7,000 affected PCs;
crippled systems were said to
be concentrated in Beijing,
Shanghai and Guangzhou
province.
Symantec
re-released a revised
signature update around 2:30
p.m. Friday, Beijing time, but
the fix was too late for any
PC that had been rebooted in
the intervening 13.5 hours.
Those now-worthless systems
needed new copies of the two
.dll files restored to the
hard drive's
"windowssystem32" directory.
Symantec posted a support
document on its
Chinese-language Web site that
outlined how to use the
Windows XP installation CD to
start the PC and use the
Recovery Console to replace
the quarantined netapi32.dll
and lsasrv.dll with new
copies. There was no notice of
the update problem or the
solution on the site's front
page, or on the company's
English global home page. Many
PC makers now forgo
installation or restore CDs
meaning users would have to
obtain copies of the two .dll
files from another working PC.

21.05.2007First Preview of CRM 4 by Stunware.com
Michael introduces the world to Microsoft Dynamics 4.0 aka Titan in his
A first preview of Microsoft Dynamics CRM "Titan".
There you can read a lot more about the three major improvements
in this new release:
- Multi-Tenancy: A CRM server now can host multiple organizations. This is extremely important for service providers, as
they had to run a server for each CRM organization so far. Microsoft itself is going to provide a hosted CRM solution with CRM Live, but many partners
will pop up in the near future offering the same to you. It is a good alternative to an on-premise installation when you're a small company or your
employees are spread around the world and you want to easily connect them without building your own infrastructure with 24/7 support.
-
Multi-Language: You can now install MUI packs on your CRM server and clients to support additional languages. Being limited to a single language in
the past, a user now can select from a list of available languages and pick his favorite one. The installation of a MUI package is a no-brainer and
additional languages are set up in about 5 minutes.
- Multi-Currency: All currency fields now store the value in the system's base
currency and optionally a foreign currency including the exchange rate. Exchange rates have to be configured at the server. There's no historical
list of exchange rates kept, so I'm pretty sure to see add-ons soon. Anyway it's a big improvement compared to 3.0, where we have been limited to a
single currency.

01.02.2006Issues installing updates after repairing XP
We received reports today that some Windows XP customers havent been able to install updates from Windows Update/Microsoft Update with the latest
version of the Windows Update client. We are only seeing this issue when users have performed a repair on their Windows XP installation. I wanted
to take a minute and let folks know what we know about this right now and what were doing about it.
After getting the reports,
we began actively reproducing and investigating the issue. We have identified the root cause and the steps to resolve this issue.
Heres what we found: when an XP repair CD is used, it replaces all system files (including Windows Update) on your machine with older versions of
those files and restores the registry. However, the latest version of Windows Update includes wups2.dll that was not originally present in Windows XP.
Therefore, after the repair install of the OS, wups2.dll remains on the system but its registry entries are missing. This mismatch causes updates to
fail installation.
If you experience this issue, you can contact customer service using the contact info at
http://support.microsoft.com/security. Additionally, a KB article describing the
steps to resolve this issue will be available soon. I will update this blog with a link to the KB article when it is available. In the meantime, here
are the steps included in the KB:
1. Stop the Automatic Updates service. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Click
Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
b. At the command prompt, type the following commands, and then press ENTER after each
command:
2. Register the file that is used by Windows Update and Microsoft Update. To do
this, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
b. At the command prompt, type the following
command, press ENTER after the command, and then click OK when you receive a verification message:
regsvr32 %windir%system32wups2.dll
Note: for x64 machines regsvr32 %windir%syswow64wups2.dll
3. Start the Automatic Updates service. To do this, follow these
steps:
a. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
b. At the command prompt, type the following commands, and then press
ENTER after each command:

24.10.2007Trend Micro Warns Of Server Antivirus Flaws
Trend Micro has patched a pair
of remote code execution
vulnerabilities in
ServerProtect, its
server-based antivirus
software, that could open the
door for attackers to gain
control over affected
machines.
Both are
stack-based buffer overflow
bugs affecting ServerProtect
For Windows version 5.58,
Trend Micro said in a Tuesday
advisory.
The first
flaw stems from the failure of
the "TmRpcSrv.dll" library
to check user input before
copying it to memory, Symantec
said in a Deepsight Threat
Management System advisory.
The bug affects the
"EarthAgent.exe" daemon on
TCP port 3628, and an attacker
could exploit it by sending
malicious code to a server
with ServerProtect installed,
according to Symantec.
The second
vulnerability exists in the
"AgRpcCln.dll" library and
can be used to trigger a
malicious RPC request to the
"SpntSvc.exe" service, which
is on TCP port 5168, Symantec
said.

Process Explorer v11.0 Available
Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find out. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles
and DLLs processes have opened or loaded.
The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top window always shows a
list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window depends
on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle mode youll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened; if
Process Explorer is in DLL mode youll see the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded. Process Explorer also has a powerful search
capability that will quickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded.
Changelog:
Were
excited to announce the release of Process Explorer v11.0, which introduces major startup and UI performance improvements, new columns and process
details for Vista I/O priorities, memory priorities, and Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) DLL and executable attributes, an enhanced security
properties page that shows raw SID values, fully asynchronous thread symbol resolution, integration with UAC, and more!

Windows XP SP2 IE6 Workaround for security update 942615
Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require
that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
| 1. | Click
Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK. |
| 2. | Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftInternet
ExplorerMainFeatureControl |
| 3. | On the Edit menu,
point to New, and then click Key. |
| 4. | Type
FEATURE_PROTECT_DECOMPRESSION_FILTER_FROM_ABORT_KB942367, and then press ENTER. |

| 6. | Type
an asterisk (*), and then press ENTER.

Patch to a patch of a patch needs patching
In the latest incident of a now-chronic problem that has been bugging Microsoft all year, a recent security patch now causes IE6 to crash in Windows
XP...again.
In a classic Tim Conway comedy sketch, he plays a corpse being prepared for a funeral by mortician Harvey Korman. But
one limb of Conway's body simply insists on sticking up in the air, and whenever Korman finally retracts it, another one pops up elsewhere. This
morning, Microsoft must know what it was like to have been one of Carol Burnett's regulars, as the Internet Explorer team admitted that a chronic
problem that was supposed to have been cumulatively updated by last Patch Tuesday's round of updates, causes a new problem: Internet Explorer 6 will
crash on systems running Windows XP Service Pack 2.
