Guest Dave Thompson Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Brief recap: After the update on Tuesday, no Microsoft products (IE, Office 2007, Outlook, etc) would run without errors. After digging all day, I discovered that one or more of the Security Updates reset all Process permissions to read only. At least the error did not change third party process permissions; only the Microsoft ones. I have set all Processes to Full Access. The system is now functioning normally. However, I feel that not all processes need or require full access. Does anyone know what the permission are for the Microsoft processes.

Guest Dave Thompson Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Re: July Update Disaster Part Deux Thanks. I tried that and the response was they would be glad to help me for a fee. They are currently taking the position that it is Dell's problem. Hopefully someone here can resolve this for me.

Guest Skye Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 RE: July Update Disaster Part Deux I'm having endless problems also since the updates. Sorry to appear a bit dense but where does one set all Processes to Full Access please? Thanks in advance.

Guest PA Bear Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Re: July Update Disaster Part Deux Did you clearly state the your problem was related to having installed Security Updates? If you do, it's free support. If the tech tells you otherwise, *demand* a Level 2 tech...and tell 'em an MS MVP told you to do it. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) AumHa VSOP & Admin; DTS-L.org Dave Thompson wrote: > Thanks.
