More information on the MS06-015 issue
" Hi everyone, Stephen Toulouse here. We've been continually examining the
best way to assist the customers who may have been impacted by the
interaction of MS06-015 with the software Mike mentioned before. We wanted
to check in and let you know the current plan. Up until now there have been
several solutions: Upgrade to the newest version of the affected software, a
manual registry key fix, uninstall the third party software (NVIDIA Drivers
versions 61.94 and prior or the Hewlett Packard Share-to-web software) or
uninstall the update. All of these require the user to take some sort of
action.
So what we have done is re-engineered the MS06-015 update to avoid the
conflict altogether with the older Hewlett Packard and NVIDIA software.
We're going to run a test pass on it and we will release this new update on
Tuesday, April 25th.
What the new update essentially does is simply add the affected third party
software to an "exception list" so that the problem does not occur. The
revised update automates the manual registry key fix."

HTH.

Hi Vincenzo. You and I have already communicated with respect to this
problem in another thread (you helped me greatly!), but your new post raises
the following two questions:

1. I have already applied the patch from 'Kellys Korner' at your
encouragement, and all things now seem to be okay with my system. Should I
still and also apply the Microsoft re-release of the MS06-015 update on April
25? And

2. Will the re-release be issued through 'Automatic Updates?'

Much obliged for your expertise again!

Thanks Vincenzo. Having read the articles you linked, this is what I
understand from them. On or about April 25, Microsoft Updates will, using
some smart detection capability, check to see if I am experiencing the
problems caused by MS06-015. If and only if I am, I will then receive the
automatic update. As I have already applied the patch at Kelly's Korner
(line 383), I'm believing that I will not be deemed a candidate for the
revised security patch, and nothing will happen. Does the above seem about
right?

Also, I have read in various posts that HP has released updated software
that is not subject to the problems caused by the interaction of their 'Share
to Web' software and MS06-015. Apparently, it is called HP Image Zone 5 and
is supposed to replace the older 'Share to Web' application. One would think
that HP would make this new software available as a free download to current
users of their Share to Web software (like me). But I don't see that
anywhere. Do you have any knowledge about this? Please forgive my plethora
of questions. I hate to be a bother to you. I truly appreciate all the help
and expertise you've given me. Have a great day.

Yes, you're always a help, Vincenzo!

Actually in between my last post and your reply, I found the HP Image Zone
software available as a download for those that have HP printers and
scanners, though it is probably a basic stripped-down version called HP Image
Zone Express. The link is
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=91469&lang=en&os=228

Thanks for all the help again.
