We are getting and Event 577 in our Security Event log on several computers.
I have found this Microsoft article wich explains the issue exaclty.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831905
Is this fix in XPSP2 or XPSP3? or should we ask for the fix?
thank you
What SP level are the systems now on ? The KB article states:
Note This hotfix requires that you have Windows XP Service Pack 1.
And the dates of the kernel files are from 2003. There have been several
kernel updates since then including the ones in SP2/SP3 and in
subsequent Security updates.
If the systems are still on SP1, it appears that they are no longer
receiving Security updates, so they should have SP3 applied soon:

" Security Update Policy
Microsoft will provide security update support for a minimum of 10 years
(through the Extended Support phase) for Business and Developer
products. The security updates will apply only to the *supported service
pack level* for these products.
Microsoft will provide security update support through the Mainstream
Support phase for Consumer, Hardware, Multimedia products. The security
updates will apply only to the supported service pack level for these
products.
* Both the Mainstream Support and the Extended Support phases
require that the product’s *supported service pack level* be installed
to continue to receive and install security updates.
* Security updates will be available from Windows Update during the
Mainstream Support phase, and the Extended Support phase (if available).
Note that technical limitations in Microsoft Office 2000 require that it
remain an exception to this process. Updates will be provided only
through the Microsoft Download Center for the duration of its Support
Lifecycle. "
