July Update Disaster Part Deux

[Guest]

Brief recap:

After the update on Tuesday, no Microsoft products (IE, Office 2007,
Outlook, etc) would run without errors.

After digging all day, I discovered that one or more of the Security Updates
reset all Process permissions to read only. At least the error did not
change third party process permissions; only the Microsoft ones.

I have set all Processes to Full Access. The system is now functioning
normally.

However, I feel that not all processes need or require full access. Does
anyone know what the permission are for the Microsoft processes.

Thanks. I tried that and the response was they would be glad to help me for
a fee. They are currently taking the position that it is Dell's problem.
Hopefully someone here can resolve this for me.

I'm having endless problems also since the updates. Sorry to appear a bit
dense but where does one set all Processes to Full Access please?
Thanks in advance.

Did you clearly state the your problem was related to having installed
Security Updates? If you do, it's free support. If the tech tells you
otherwise, *demand* a Level 2 tech...and tell 'em an MS MVP told you to do
it.
