Ever since these Security vulnerablities discovered in Windows 2000 this past year Microsoft's attempts too fix the issues have led to a more or less disfunctional Windows 2000. Here is what I am going through at the moment. This is Windows 2000 Server SP3.
Let's start out by saying that SP4 is boneheaded. So I won't install that. When I installed that in Windows 2000 Professional with an MDAC security update that was the end of the .NET Framework. So let's not go there.
I am at the moment dealing with a completely broken HTML Help system. According to Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822989
this is a result of a number of Security updates for all versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer that can be installed in Windows 2000. Well I have none of those that are discussed in this article installed. But that means nothing as we all know Microsoft's Cumulative Security updates include updates from previous Security updates. Things begin to get really nasty when you look at this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=828750
But according to the first link I gave, we can fix the issue by installing this:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/contents/WUCritical/q811630/Default.asp
But as you can tell from this link it is only for Windows 98.
So what we have here is a hodgepodge of security fixes for security fixes that were supposed to fix some security violations and after all is said and done we have a Windows 2000 with no HTML Help.
Can anyone suggest a way to fix the HTML Help issue in Windows 2000 Server SP3 w/o SP4. Here are my installed hotfixes. I have no non-public hotfixes installed. Thanks.
