I just installed Microsoft’s MS04-022 hotfix. It’s the Security Update for Windows XP (KB841873) English SP 1. I’m running Photoshop CS on a year-old Dell Dimension desktop.
It was to address a .job bug (related to MS Task Scheduler) that can exploit the administrator account in very nasty ways. I do not install all the MS patches because my experience and much reading tells me they could break something else, something that was running well prior to the install. So it is always with great trepedation that I install these hotfixes.
I brought up Photoshop CS after the hotfix install and reboot. Windows (or was it Photoshop) displayed a message saying that "Your machine configuration has changed: would you like to continue?" Next I see a splash screen asking if I wished to Activate my copy of PS now? Presumably it is the same screen I saw when I installed PS CS a few months ago. I had to establish an Internet connection and wait until the product was "activated" again.
Everything seems to be working alright. I’m posting this message merely to alert others to the possibility that this hotfix might cause some weird effects.
