It's Microsoft Patch Tuesday: August 2011

Are the Microsoft patches giving you trouble this month? Maybe you peers can help - describe the problems you are having.

These "patches in a nutshell" articles are quite useful. Not many of us have time to drill into the MS bulletins in depth.

Had a new client contact me and his XP User Profile was corrupted, so Windows built a new profile. I did a System Restore prior to Updates, and his profile came back. I have to attribute to Patch Tuesday because this occurred after updates. He is back up and running. The other User Profile was fine, very strange.

First time I have seen this Windows message when starting a User Profile!

I would check disk space on that machine. Very low disk space can cause profiles to fail loading. If it was close before then the patches could have pushed it over the edge. Just a thought...

Update fails, this time with error code 80200053. Click "Get help..." which gives "help" on Windows error 800705b4: why???

Click to go to the troubleshooter, go through the motions, and Windows says it's fixed. Hallelujah!

Go through the update process again, and update fails! I can go through the process again, and again, and again, and... oh, you get the picture.

Sooner or later, for no apparent reason, they will download. Meantime, I suppose I just hope I don't get hit with something these were supposed to fix.

We have several machines running Win7 and Office 2007 that outlook will not authenticate to exchange. Any ideas? Not the profile. I've logged in to a laptop that I've never used that had the issue and it did the same for my account.
