Went to Windows Update and surprisingly was told the update was available to me, even though the MSKB article says WinXP SP2 without Office does not need it.
"(Important Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) is not affected by this issue. Windows XP SP2 users only need to update Office (if installed). )" I do not have Office.
So, being a good MS customer I downloaded it, anyway. More concerning I got message saying (best as I can remember) that I had some graphics on my PC that could pose a problem. So I followed the instructions and seeing nothing more specific, clicked the button on http://www.microsoft.com/security/bu...jpeg_tool.mspx to scan for "Click for affected Imaging Software". After agreeing to a hold harmless paragraph, nothing happened, except that that link changed into a notice that
"This tool is designed for computers running Windows 2000 and earlier. Windows XP, Windows XP SP1, and Windows Server 2003 users may update their computers by visiting the Windows Update Web site."
Pretty circuitous.
Oh, Well.
