W2KPro weird behaviour after Security Bulleting update on 12/12/07

[Guest LabYardJunky]

Hi,

My sincere aplogies, If i have posted it to the wrong newsgroup.

Yesterday my system Win2Kpro Sp4 received 4 updates KB937894, KB941568,

KB942615-IE6SP1...,KB941569.

Problem1:

Unfortunately I have a local VC++ program compiled using Windows socket

WS2_32.lib and MSVCRT.lib stops loading when running from DOS command prompt.

What is application does is just listen to a port and when anything connected

to that port it just relay that information to a server inside my firewall.

Like a port forwarding service but much simpler. The program compiles, but

when loading it chokes as if someone already using that port. I changed that

port# to various others like 2000, 2001, 20002, 2003, 80 or whatever I change

the result is same, the program stops loading... like a hang.

 

Problem2:

When I use telnet to connect to my server's port 25, the keyboard lettes are

not echoing means I get a all blanks for the keystrokes. If I tyep a command

correctly like "EHLO xxx.com" it doesnt appear on the telnet console, but

when I hit the enter key, the SMTP server responds back with

250-mx2.lab.xxx.com says hello... this reply is visible. This is really

annoying cause dont know you make any mistakes untill you hit enter key.

 

I am suspecting the KB941568 (security update for DirectX) and/or KB941569

(security update for Windows2000 (but the icon show a realplayer icon -

weird). If then not rest of the other 2 fixes.

 

Appreciate if anyone experience these issues can share their comments.

 

TIA.

KB942615 I believe is your problem. Lots of people complaining about the KB

and when they uninstall it, their problems are fixed.

 

Here is an article that explains that KB and what it does.

This link explains Known Issues.

Forget this link I posted....

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-057.mspx

 

It's been replaced with this one...

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-069.mspx

 

Although MS states no Known Issues this Update is indeed causing many

problems and so far the only way to fix it is to uninstall it.
