It says you only need to download it if you are affected. [quote]A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct the problem that is described in this article. Apply it only to computers that are experiencing this specific problem. This fix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Windows XP service pack that contains this fix.[/quote]

What "problem" do they mean?

#6 Manya on 10 May 2003 - 14:51

Hmmm, I found this patch finally colved the problem I had when going into hibernation. Whenever I would power up, my HDD light would be on constantly. Now this no longer happens. I'm happy now

#7 CheeseCow on 10 May 2003 - 16:36

Sometimes my HD sleeps on reboot and start up, would this fix it? I doubt it, any ideas?

#9.1 IntelliMoo on 11 May 2003 - 06:48

Ah, happens here too sometimes, the drive shutsdown on reboot! Will definitely try this then.

#10 KiCHiK on 11 May 2003 - 16:02

After I installed this patch my computer would no longer boot or shut down

It always hung on boot time and shut down. I had to uninstall it on safe mode. Hmm... Be careful I guess

#11 blzd|sicmade on 11 May 2003 - 18:28

#12 kaborka on 11 May 2003 - 18:39

I never was able to get my BE6-II (BX chipset) to do standby -- it never would wake up right. I thought it was the video drivers (ATI Radeon), but mebbe it was this. Now, if they could just get write-behind caching to work right on Win2K and XP!

#13 Knight' on 11 May 2003 - 18:41

Patch worked fine for me.

#14 Aleco on 13 May 2003 - 18:39
