Yea. It's good you put it out there. I remember cases of an application
(can't remember which) refusing to install after the Security Update CD
was run. The solution was to change back a certain Registry key...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
SubVersionNumber " A "
The Security Update CD puts a "B" in there!
