Thanks prasanth again for this. Please note that SP2 for Windows 2000 must be installed before you can setup the patch.

Symptoms: If a user process saves or makes EUDC with the EnableEUDC API, your computer may stop responding (hang).

Cause: This problem may occur if a lock occurs between one drawing process and another drawing process. One thread of the first process is waiting on a lock that is held by another thread of the second process. The second process is also waiting on a lock that is held by the first thread.

Affected Software: Windows 2000 SP2 Professional/Server/Advance Server
