"…Below, is a summary of the reports received, plus some opinions about the W2k Security Rollup for SP4…"

* Citrix problems with W2k security rollup patches.
A reader reported that "…After applying the update on two separate servers, authenticated users connecting to the servers through a Windows 2000 Server VPN connection are unable to run published applications. After removing the security rollup, full functionality is restored."
After some email exchange, we found that Citrix made available a KB article about this. It is the Document ID: CTX107051. The reader told that he will try the workaround.

* Panda AV problems after the patches were applied.
A reader reported that "…After applying the patches, some components (either the firewall or protection against unknown threats) on Panda Platinum 2005 Internet Security (9.02.01) stopped working.
This happened on my Win2000 laptop (fully patched) and on several WinXP Pro boxes. The solution was to completely uninstall Panda & then re-install it."

* Problems with v6 downloading patches…
A reader reported that when visiting the Windows Updated website, a suggestion to upgrade the Windows Update Agent was prompted to the user. He did that and after that he couldn't connect to any update server. The solution: "…I found that re-installing Microsoft XML parser 3.0 SP4 fixed the issue. Going to v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com generated an error, but provided the info on fixing this. This fix allowed for a reinstall of Windows Update Agent."

* Another reader reported a crash of explorer.exe on trying to view a video folder. It happened after he installed MS05-036…"
