Hi there,

I did post about this problem a few days ago.

I have now solved the problem on my XP Pro (SP1) system
(NTFS partition). I'm still uncertain why it worked but
this is what I did.

Downloaded the patch to my hard drive. Re-booted the PC
in Safe Mode and then simply installed the security patch
Q822925. Re-booted in normal mode loading all services
and drivers and found it had successfully installed
without giving any of the problems mentioned in several
posts on this site including my own original post!

Reason? Not quite sure why it has worked this way but it
may have been a certain running process related to
software installed on all of the machines on our
particular PC's which was interfering with the correct
installation of the patch ??? Who knows!

Anyway it works and has given me no strange behaviour or
errors since :-) I hope this helps.

Regards,

Andy
 
Guys, are you placing your cookies and temp. internet files folders
somewhere other than their original locations. This especially applies if
you rare using a RAM drive like I am.

I read in this newsgroup that this might be a problem, so I looked at my
accounts. Sure enough, my Admin Account, which has never given me any
problems with this patch is using the default locations for these folders.
The messed up user account is using A RAM drive.

Now, how do we get this information to Microsoft? There has to be a
solution. It makes no sense that we can not use a RAM drive now.
