i'm reporting a pretty serious system problem caused by
one of the updates in the october security rollup package
for xp pro. if anyone can help with forwarding this to
microsoft i'd appreciate it.
after i installed the october security rollup package my
system began hanging--if i let the computer idle for a
while, the hard disk would eventually begin making a
repetitive scratching/croaking/clicking noise. the system
would hang and eventually crash entirely. the only way to
duplicate this short of letting the computer sit there was
to attempt to install one of the recommended updates from
the windowsupdate site (usb 1.1 and 2.0 update).
after some investigation with file monitor i've come to
the conclusion that the problem has something to do with
the options: open access: all command. that command is
certainly what seemed to have been causing the
clicking/croaking (after i uninstalled the srp the
croaking sound seems to have gone away completely), and at
the very beginning of the usb update the command is
invoked repeatedly.
this is obviously a big deal. if anyone has any thoughts
on it or can put me in touch with someone at microsoft i'd
appreciate it.
i'm running xp pro on a vaio z505s with a 6.4gb ibm 6gn
travelstar.
