XP Hotfix Warning!!!!!

[Trebor95]

Hi, Just to let you know (not sure if you care ) that one of the latest hotfixes released from Microsoft causes MASSIVE slowdown in Windows when installed.

The Hotfix in question has the ID :

Q811493

to find out if you have it installed there are two ways:

1st :

Go into add/remove programs in the control panel,
Scroll down the list and try and locate the hotfix Q811493,
If present highlight it and remove/uninstall it,
If that does not work.

2nd :

Open Windows Explorer,
Show hidden files/folders,
Navigate to C:\Windows\$NtUninstallQ811493$\
in that folder there will be a second folder named

spuninst

Open this and doubleclick the spuninst.exe

This will remove the hotfix. A restart may be required

If you need any info I usually lurk around here
