Microsoft Reissues Update Rollup For Windows 2000

Gregg Keizer writes in TechWeb News:

More than a month after Microsoft acknowledged that its final Windows 2000 update was flawed, on Tuesday the Redmond, Wash.-based giant released a revised version and says it solves compatibility problems with other software.

Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4 -- v2 was posted Tuesday for downloading from Microsoft's Download Center for multiple machines, or via the Windows Update service for individual PCs.

The second edition of Update Rollup 1 -- the final major update Microsoft intends for the aging but still popular Windows 2000 operating system -- was necessary because of problems some users encountered with third-party software after installing version 1.

Among the headaches that Microsoft confirmed in early August were compatibility issues with several prominent vendors' applications, including ones from Citrix, Sophos, Internet Security Systems, and even Microsoft itself. The latter's Microsoft Office, for example, wouldn't save files directly to floppy disks after the rollup had been installed.
