Interesting.
I've installed this patch, and I haven't noticed any slowdown. What are these folks running?

You at home or on a big LAN at work? Check that last paragraph.

At home.
Like I said, I haven't noticed any slowdown.
I read the last paragraph--it said users experiencing a slowdown AT HOME should remove the patch.
I'm just wondering what h/w and s/w the folks experiencing slowdowns are running.

My problem with XP so far is it doesn't remain signed online when switching from one profile to another. I haven't seen a patch for it yet. For instance: hubby is signed on, he finishes ripping up all the disruptors on FR, and he switches to my profile so I can have a look-see. :) But, it signs off and I have to re-dial. An inconvenience to be sure - especially with dial-up.

Buy the XP Professional. It's much better than the crappy Home edition.

Disable remote connections, and only have interactive logins with attractive conservababes like Ann Coulter or Laura Ingraham :o)

nuts, I installed this and it did slow my system down. It also said once installed, this patch can't be removed. Are they going to give a patch patch.

XP Home or Pro?
Does anyone know if this only affects Home, or both Home and Pro?
To: longtermmemmory
I was wondering what was going on. Several of my applications have taken so long to start they have "frozen" and I had to reboot.

The new version of Windows RG doesn't have this problem.

xp home. What happens my mouse sticks for a moment when I move across the screen. Pages load slower. Program switching is slower.

I use XP Professional with a DSL 'modem' connected to the LAN card in my PC, and when I log off, it asks me if I want to keep the connection open in a dialog box. If I say yes, it will stay online even when no one is logged on, and it will be online after someone else logs on.

Cool; everything I've gotten with XP, I went ahead and got Pro. Now I can just D/L the patch and it'll stop whining at me.
