I'm reposting this because it is now buried deep in the newsgroup.
What experience are others having with this hotfix?
The hotfix information is at this location:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=841382

Definitely too early!
I've applied the hotfix and it doesn't solve the problem.
I'm running Windows2000 Professional on a Toshiba Satellite Pro. The symptoms for me (and different folks are reporting different problems) were failure to get past the Windows log-on screen at boot up. At this point, with patch installed, the system crashes and simply reboots continuously.
With the hotfix applied, the symptoms remain the same.
As with everyone else, removing the 837732 patch returns my computer to normal state, though still protected from the security hole only by antivirus and firewall.
I've let Microsoft know I've still got a problem. Hopefully anyone else for whom the hotfix isn't the answer will let them know too. They've got some more work to do!
(By the way, for anyone for whom the hotfix does work it comes packaged with a second file (WINDOWS2000-KB841382-X86-ENU-Symbols.EXE). When I asked MS what I was supposed to do with this file, I was told to ignore it ... it was just packaging)
