Does anyone know where to get this patch. It solves the
task scheduler error for tasks ending with code 80.
I can't get it fromMS because I have an OEM version of
Windows and I can't get it from Dell because they don't
offer software support!
Hi
Microsoft will supply you with the hotfix even if it is a Dell
computer with an OEM version of WinXP. To make it easier, just
don't mention that you have a Dell computer at all, just ask
for the hotfix at once without going into a long story about
previous problems getting the hotfix etc.
As the article states, you need to call Microsoft Product Support Services to
obtain it (outside the US, customers should contact their local Microsoft
subsidiary.). The support call will be be free as long as you refer to the
Knowledge Base Article number (KB812400) and ask for nothing more.
You will need to find the phone number from here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[LN];CNTACTMS
For WinXP:
In the wizard, Select WinXP, and Basic, and then "It was purchased separately"
For USA, you end up here
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;en-us;Prodoffer31
Use phone number 425-635-3311
