Absolutely MS support can help, give them a call. Per the
instructions in the article:
"A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only
intended to correct the problem that is described in this article.
Apply it only to computers that are experiencing this specific
problem. This fix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you
are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that
you wait for the next Windows XP service pack that contains this fix.
To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support
Services to obtain the fix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product
Support Services phone numbers and information about support costs,

NOTE: In special cases, charges that are ordinarily incurred for
support calls may be canceled if a Microsoft Support Professional
determines that a specific update will resolve your problem. The
typical support costs will apply to additional support questions and
issues that do not qualify for the specific update in question."
