Microsoft plans to reissue a security patch for its Windows operating system that caused serious headaches for some users.
The MS06-015 security update was released last week, but Microsoft customers soon reported that it was causing applications to crash, thanks to a conflict between the patch and nVidia's video drivers and Hewlett-Packard's Share-to-Web photo-sharing software.
The revised update is being tested now, and is expected to be released April 25, the same day that Microsoft is scheduled to release its nonsecurity updates for the month.
Users have also reported that Sunbelt Software's Kerio Personal Firewall tries to stop the MS06-015 update from running an application called Verclsid.exe. Users who have this problem should configure Kerio so that it allows Versclid.exe to run, Microsoft says.
This is not the only Microsoft update that has given users headaches this month. ActiveX changes made in a second Internet Explorer patch, numbered MS06-013, have caused major problems with Oracle's Siebel 7 client. Microsoft has released a "compatibility patch" that undoes these ActiveX changes, and Oracle has said it will release a patch that resolves the issue sometime next month.
