Below is patch 328310. If you were to roll back these files to what you had before SP4 then you would be ok... Assuming your system still booted. Some of these like Kernel32.dll are probably bad to roll back. I would guess only GDI32.dll and user32.dll needs to be rolled back. It is responsible for window rendering. Again... You risk an unbootable system so what I would do (if I wanted to do this) is boot to recovery console (or better yet boot with NTFS dos from winternals.com) and copy gdi32.dll / user32.dll somewhere safe. Then put the one you had prior to SP4 in there. If you were smart you picked to backup files when installing SP4 so the file is there in the folder in %windir% where SP4 put it. Copy that copy of gdi32.dll/user32.dll to %windir%\system32 and try to boot. If all works fine then you are cool. If it doesn't then revert to the SP4 Gdi32.dll/User32.dll and pray. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=328310 The following files are copied to the %WINDIR%\System32 folder: Date Time Version Size File name ---------------------------------------------------------- 01-Nov-2002 21:33 5.0.2195.5265 42,256 Basesrv.dll 01-Nov-2002 21:33 5.0.2195.5907 222,992 Gdi32.dll 01-Nov-2002 21:33 5.0.2195.6079 708,880 Kernel32.dll 01-Nov-2002 21:33 5.0.2195.6090 332,560 Msgina.dll 01-Nov-2002 21:33 5.0.2195.6097 379,664 User32.dll 01-Nov-2002 21:33 5.0.2195.6085 370,448 Userenv.dll 21-Oct-2002 13:26 5.0.2195.6097 1,643,248 Win32k.sys 29-Oct-2002 15:59 5.0.2195.6108 179,472 Winlogon.exe 01-Nov-2002 21:33 5.0.2195.6097 243,472 Winsrv.dll To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
