Scarthy © ® ™ Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 Hi all ;) ,I have just read this at Neowin....Also reported at The Inquirer.Windows (XP) patch 811493 troublePosted by Neobond on 19 Apr 2003 - 12:37 CET | 14 Comments Thanks malebolgia for this one. WINDOWS UPDATE USERS and prudent sys admins might have installed the latest Windows patch without a thought. That might not have been such a good idea. The patch is meant to fix a hole in Windows Messaging but can end up causing a severe performance degradation.To remove the patch: Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Find Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q811493 > Click Remove > ignore Warning > Reboot by clicking FinishThe patch will be listed again on Windows Update when you next check for updates.I have noticed a significant loss in performance since installing this patch yesterday. Has anyone else noticed??? (longer pauses when opening files/ folders etc). The update was posted HERE on Windows Forum Yesterday...I am thinking of removing the file... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ellas Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 not really noticed much of a difference Scarthy © ® ™ are you talking about any specific files/folders or all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarthy © ® ™ Posted April 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 No specific files/ folders, just noticed a definate 'lag' in the usual operation of the computer. eg. The folder takes longer to open when double clicked / There is a pause before some things happen after selecting etc...(right click menus slower) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cookie Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 Scarthy, try going back to a Restore point and see if it was the update.I noticed recently that my Internet (B/B) seemed slower than it used to be. I installed and ran Spybot, cleared the 'muck' and things have improved.Probably not related but I've been up since 4am so maybe I should shut up. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 Best option is to uninstall the patch as M$ seem to have got it wrong again. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarthy © ® ™ Posted April 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 In a follow up to our post here on troubles with Q811493 patch for Windows XP y_notm has submitted to the BPN section that MS have posted a workaround on the WUv4 beta newsgroup (Windows Update v4)Hi Everyone!You may or may not have seen an issue where after installing Q811493 the machine runs extremely slow. What we have determined so far is that it is an issue with the anti-virus on there machines. If the customer is running EZ Trust they will need to disable the file monitoring service and if they are running Norton they will need to disable the auto protect service and the installation of Q811493 and this will return to system functionality to normal. Other Anti-virus programs that seem to cause this issue that we have heard of so far:EZ Anti-virus RealtimeMacAfee version 7SophosWhile an MS spokesperson was not immediately available for comment Neowin will attempt to confirm the above workaround, which appears to fix one security problem by compromising system security elsewhere (ie: no more auto-protect). People using the leaked SP2 update for Windows XP also reported problems after un-installing the patch which caused one of our members to re-install his system!Taken from NeoWin. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use NAV2002....Uninstall and re-install with Auto Protect OFF? or...Just use machine without Auto Protect Enabled all the time?

Tankus Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 http://www.windowsforum.org/forum/index.ph...=ST&f=30&t=1676My problems started around a week ago ,with a processor (Athlon) update.......When my windows update thingy in the task bar goes bling bling..I just click and download......(but the bloody thing immediately had boot problems)My computer is still not running right after doing a system restore as an attempt to get rid of it...Still getting some strange beeps and clicks from the case (not the speakers) before windows boots.....and it has increased startup time by around 20 secs..........I think my bios has been flashed with something from MS that does not quite sit right with what Ive got ....But I dont have the knowledge to undo it . Plus I don't want to completely fry my Bios in error.......Turned my auto update off ...and will be a bit more circumspect before downloading anything...Not just me with probs then.....

madboy33 Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 Tankussomehow i do not think that MS would flash your BIOSAs ellas has said it is probably third party software causing a conflictellas to be honest i do not have a lot of TP softwarealthough below is a screengrab what is installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ellas Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 Tankus is you processor a athlon xp palimino as I have read on other forums of the problem with that driver but only for the palimino. http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewtopic....4c1c43dbf46b4ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of Calcutta Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 whoa, :o i downloaded a few updates and this one was one of them , that explains it.. theres was this really bad slowdown of my comp, took folders really long to display the contents and ie took nearly a min to open etc... but after rebooting a couple of times things seem to be stable now :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankus Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 "I have an AMD 2000+ Palimino processor with an Asus A7V266-E motherboard..NO Mobile pc...... Running a Tower system. I get this driver update appearing sometimes and sometimes not. Its supposedly for an AMD K7 Processor. But AMD and Microsoft claim to have No info. So I have not installed it." Yep I do remember it saying something about an AMD K7 before I downloaded it..........All Si soft states that my AMD Athlon 2000XP is a 7th generation (7x86) 1.67 Ghtz...........Same as in my system description.....

Tankus Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 Well my system restore has not cleared the problem....Toying with the idea of a full reboot ....good excuse to put another bigger hard drive in as well .......Maybe next time I get a free weekend....If ever...Im a computer illiterate, so I dunno about the Bios thing...It is now stable ...but slower (slightly)...think Ill leave it until I reboot...I need to clean the *beep* out anyway..Used to do It every few months with 98se ......XP has made me lazy about backing up.....Some burning ahead methinks................Mad....sort that pict out...Its making reading the posts slightly irritating, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
