Very useful thread. Thanks

And ugh @ 319740 - that's a regression. The problem existed in XP RTM, was fixed in SP1, and is now back in SP2.

Email Microsoft. And if you do get them, share the wealth

got them, where should i upload to?

Post by **RyanVM** » Mon Jan 17, 2005 12:16 pm

Great! YGPM.

I think I should do the same for the GDI one.

EDIT: Requested

For SP2 already one update is superseeded now

Post by **RyanVM** » Mon Jan 17, 2005 5:42 pm

Yeah, I thought I remembered seeing that when I was looking through that list awhile back (someone posted a similar link in Hulk's thread over at MSFN). Funny stuff

keytotime, you have the whole NT-kernel with that hot-fix, wonder if they have that hotfix in Dutch

If not I'll have to use Reshcker, but that wouldn't be such a problem

Added some more hotfixes

keytotime · Post by **keytotime** » Mon Jan 17, 2005 6:32 pm

What does superseeded mean?

One hotfix has a newer version of a file than another.

If these hotfixes are not available in download and that you request them to Microsoft, i guess you'll get them in english. So we can say goodbye to the translated versions of your pack ...

I won't request the french version of these hotfixes since i don't own a licensed copy.

Then, i think you should create a new version of the pack with critical hofixes only (those will be available for anyone).

You're not getting the ones which have been superceded, right? Just making sure

And you most definitely deserve a huge round of applause for your work. Thanks

And for the record, the next release will be version 1.1, because it's going to be a big one

@keytotime
@RyanVM

Hi Guys,

I suspect this question may appear a bit cheeky but is there any possibility that you would postup or make available the new hotfixes you have aquired for download?

The reason I ask is that I'm working on a post SP2 hotfix update script and would love to be able to include these new hotfixes in this.

Clearly if you felt this was a useful idea then I would be happy to make this available for anyone else to use.

If the answer is no then I would understand, however if you thought this was a good idea, then I for one would be happy

Kind Regards

Simon

I don't think it'd be a wise idea for us to post them in that way. You can always email Microsoft and ask for them, though

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 1:48 pm

Sounds like a busy day at the Microsoft Office

PsiMoon314 · Post by **PsiMoon314** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 1:52 pm

Hi RyanVM,

I thought you would probably say that, but I thought I would ask anyway

Someone was bound to ask so it might has well be me.

What sort of thing do you e-mail to MS when requesting these hotfixes?

Just a basic request for it, or do you make up a cunning e-mail which references the symptoms in the hotfix and hope they will send it to you?

Kind Regards

Simon

I have no idea what keytotime's been saying, but I just made up a story about working on a GDI SVG renderer and needing the hotfix

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 2:11 pm

Added some color tags, almost all updates are now present. Anybody tested those? Meaby some fix breaks other parts of the Windows OS system

Post by **RyanVM** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 2:15 pm

I'll be testing them in VirtualPC prior to release (as always).

Get ahold of me on IM and I'll send it to you for testing once it's in a useable state.

Post by **RyanVM** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 2:17 pm

keytotime - I've asked for KB883483 and KB885855.

There's also some update for some Tablet 2005 Edition file on your Windows XP CD (inkobj.dll in cmpnents\TabletPC)

I don't think it's necessary to include files that don't even get installed by default with the update pack, what do you think?

Fair Enough

It seems as if you guys are well on your way to getting all of the current "unpublished" hotfixes.

I am sure the next release of the pack will be worth waiting for; i'm looking forward to seeing it already.

Sad eh?

Kind Regards

Simon

@ hp38guser. What's the kb number for the file in tablet pc.

I'm inclined to agree with you.

Do you mean you have the files yet. Make sure you have them on your HD.

keytotime · Post by **keytotime** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 6:03 am

Yes and also i have KB883507 and KB867795 on my hdd. All that we are missing is KB885453.

It's on request.

Looking at the file versions, I strongly doubt this file is for SP2. I've seen a few occasions now KB articles with the wrong keywords on them (post-SP2 fixes without the presp3 keyword and so forth).

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 12:00 pm

Keytotime, please look at the file version. For Windows XP SP2 files should be 5.1.2600.2180 / 6.0.2900.2180 or higer. You didn't have to request for KB840837

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 12:53 pm

I've send an e-mail to the Dutch Support of Windows XP to request some hotfix. THey write I need to call a duth phone number to retrieve them. Meaby I'll do that. My question is how did you request those fixes so quickly?

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 7:01 pm

KB884573 should be on the list. KB888111 could be too, but that's not really a hotfix as much as it is a new feature.

Found another one:

KB887131 - A problem may occur with audio and video synchronization when certain TV capture cards are used

Acheron · Post by **Acheron** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 11:46 am

That HIGH-definition audio support, does that work with all hardware, or is it a driver for just some expensive audio cards?

Post by **RyanVM** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 12:19 pm

hp38guser - I'm assuming that's for Azalia supporting chipsets.
