You're welcome. Microsoft doesn't like to, and usually doesn't make
hotfix available unless they are fully tested. Applying these fixes to
computers that don't need them could lead to unforeseen problems. While
you might know how to re-image and get out of a predicament think of the
masses who barely know how to turn a computer on.
