Need browser.dll hotfix to solve browser.dll problem 7023 - Computer Browser terminated

[pattyjamas]

Anyone have the actual hotfix file for Windows XP Home edition related
to:
See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889320
Hate to pay the $35 and go through all the MSFT support cycle if
someone has this fix.

When you disable the Windows Firewall service on your Microsoft Windows
XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)-based computer, the Computer Browser service
stops after five minutes and the following event is logged in the Event
Viewer System log:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7023
Date: <Date>
Time: <Time>
User: N/A
Computer: <Computer Name>
Description: The Computer Browser service terminated with the following
error: This operation returned because the timeout period expired.


Thank you
Patty
