Windows Updates

[drkn]

My last XP computer had a windows security update "KB918118" That I had to
remove in order for my Autocad Inventor to work properly.
My new Dell with the XP downgrade does not show this update installed on
this computer.
Are the contents of this update renamed and installed on new computers?
Removal of this update or similar contents are crucial to me being able to
use Inventor on this computer.

Surely - AutoDesk came out with a fix for whatever issue you were working
around when that patch was first released or at least after SP3 was
released?...

I'd say this is an AutoDesk issue and one they have addressed - so...
