Do you know the way to the hotfix referenced in 889320?

[VorDesigns]

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889320/en-us makes a reference to a hotfix
which I have tried in vain to get from MS.
I was wondering if anyone ever received it?
I was wondering if anyone ever applied it?
I was wondering if anyone could prove that it actually exists?

Did you try the 'View and request hotfix downloads' link toward the top
left of the page ?
http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=889320&kbln=en-us

There's a later Version of Browse.dll included in SP3 than the one in
the hotfix.

As to the other 3 questions ...

Probably [Since there's a link to it in the KB article, there's a good
chance it exists]

1. Are you running WinXP SP2 or SP3?

2. Is the Windows Firewall enabled or are you running a third-party
firewall?

3. If you disable the Windows Firewall service (via Start | Run |
services.msc), does the Computer Browser service (cf. services.msc again,
*not* IE or any other web browser) stop after five minutes and is Event ID
7023 then logged in the Event Viewer?

4. Right-click on C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\browser.dll <=this file | Properties |
Version: What version is displayed?

Please have the courtesy to quote my entire post when you reply. Thank you.

File Version: 5.1.2600.2180

Since (1) WinXP SP3 is available (and has been since early May), and since
(2) installing WinXP SP3 would give you BROWSER.DLL v5.1.2600.5512, and
since (3) KB889320's v5.1.2600.2586 is superseded by v5.1.2600.5512, one can
assume that MS is tacitly telling you to install WinXP SP3 to address the
issue.

=============================

WinXP SP3 - Read all prerequisites for a successful installation

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for
Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14 Apr-09. Chat and
e-mail support is available only in the United States and Canada. Go to

It's been hard keeping up with the OP..he's multiposted in so many different
groups.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889320/en-us makes a reference to a hotfix
which I have tried in vain to get from MS.
I was wondering if anyone ever received it?
I was wondering if anyone ever applied it?
I was wondering if anyone could prove that it actually exists?

According to the KB Article:

"If the hotfix is available for download, there is a "Hotfix download
available" section at the top of this Knowledge Base article. If this
section does not appear, contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support
to obtain the hotfix."

Just click on the aforementioned link.
