The patch will F up lots of things on your computer. AVG and Setpoint stop working upon reboot. I removed it.

If anyone has the problems like I had tonite, backout the patch, remove your video audio drivers, AVG and setpoint, install the ms patch and then make sure to install the latest of everything. I noticed 100.xx nvidia drivers were out so I snatched those tonite. So far everything working again.

After installing that patch initially, most of my startup programs croaked and my directX for some reason went bad. Direct3d tests all failed with some strange error. I've heard a few say their onboard audio is shot and the fix didn't fix it. I'm sure there will be lots of interesting problems.

I can't wait to get to work tomorrow.

Yep, breaks various things. I had sent a email to a few friends and it seems the patch is not limited in terms of what it broke. In my case I backed it out, re-did my drivers(even if they were same version) and then re-installed patch and seems to work. Reason I re-installed the patch was because I think it still broke things as I was having mysterious issues, so I figured what choice do I have? The error is always the same, like the Realtek problem for other apps. For example, AVG wouldn't start at all.

101.02 Forceware seem to be pretty good(was running latest WHQL before). For those that don't know you can get em at Guru3d.

Problems resolved by re-installing AVG and Logitech Setpoint. Suggest to anyone to just install MS patch and de-install your failing applications and re-install them. Ignore any weird errors. More intriguing was that I had no viruses and, no spyware found. Very strange. Evil or Very Mad
