Super Fast Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 http://www.theregist...te_kills_fonts/ Apparently, MS released an update that intended to fix 1 problem, but it killed several programs at once. But don't worry, they also claim to have just released a fix for it. http://graphics-unle...3842-means.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted December 25, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 25, 2012 Not a claim Superfast, they did release a fix for it, and quickly. The bug could be sorted by just uninstalling the update anyway.

Moderators Nergal Posted December 26, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) This just in: yet another inflammatory ill-researched thread started by cat-avatar-person The re-release happened 4 days and roughly 12-20 hours before you posted this thread home-slice SMH http://technet.micro...lletin/ms12-078 removed tag from thread "we're screwed" is not appropriate for the tagging system as that feature is to aid in searches and thread identification.

I don't follow MS's antics so I missed it, and maybe a few others did as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Nergal Posted December 27, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 27, 2012 What on earth is home-slice SMH? You got me. 2 separate idioms, I left out a comma. Home-Slice http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=home+slice SMH http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=SMH (my apologies for the racistly incorrect third definition of the second term, someone should post meddle in that definition) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Moderators Andavari Posted December 29, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 29, 2012 I don't follow MS's antics so I missed it, and maybe a few others did as well. I wonder if that's why my computer became completely unstable for about a solid 2 week period, and then out of nowhere it stopped crashing.

Super Fast Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Cou I wonder if that's why my computer became completely unstable for about a solid 2 week period, and then out of nowhere it stopped crashing. Very possible. Wouldn't be the 1st time an MS update hosed a machine. I prefer manually updating so I can test & verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted December 29, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 29, 2012 I only manually update from the Microsoft Updates site. I was leaning towards it being some MS Update because there was no other reason for the system to become so unstable. Anyways it's fixed now, so hopefully I can get another 1 to 1.5 years out of this old XP system before retiring it to be a lean music player only.

Moderators Andavari Posted December 30, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 30, 2012 which works fine so long as you remember to go once a month, something I was not so good at pre-AU Every craptastic "Update Tuesday" I look, then it along with BITS gets set back to Manual in services. I would completely disable it, but MSE needs it for daily updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
