Don't do it! This patch is suggested for Windows XP and Windows 2000 SP3 and SP4. I have Windows 2000 Pro (SP4) and installed it as Microsoft suggested. Well, I didn't get a chance to experience the slow-down that has affected Win XP users, because with Win2K, the patch corrupts the "GINA" (msgina.dll, winlogon.exe) and several other components of the logon security system. When you re-boot after installation, you're stopped cold with an error statement: "User Interface Failure - Logon User Interface DLL 'MSGINA.DLL' failed to load. System Administrator must replace or restore this ... bla, bla, bla...", then taken back to re-boot, where the process would be repeated! Although I finally managed to replace the "msgina.dll" through the Admin Repair Console and removed the patch, my system is now plagued with many bugs and errors. At every boot, "Windows File Protection" (WFP) would disable any additional activity for 20 to 30 minutes, while it "scanned" my system. Constant error messages of "Corrupted Files or Folders" were displayed during WFP's scan, so I had to disable WFP through the registry, which is no small feat! (debugger has to be attached to the Windows Kernel.) Anyway, I wish I had never heard of the Q811493 security patch! And if anybody has not installed it, do yourself a huge favor and DON'T!!!

failure to do so may damage your hard drive and your data could get lost.

Solution:

to fix the problem without losing your most important data:—

you may repair windows xp by reinstalling main files. the way to do this is using your xp cd and when the chocies appear hit enter to install windows. “DO NOT TYPE R TO GO TO LOAD THE RECOVERY CONSOLE” you will then accept the agreement and then it will ask you
Select the XP installation you want to repair from the list and press R to start the repair.

windows will then erase and copy new files to the hard drive. the computer will later boot and when it asks you if you want to boot from the cd dont hit anything just let windows run and theN setup should keep working.

iF windows repair does not appear as one of your options check out : http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm#warning2
a complete technical explanation of what i just said is well explained on the site.
You should read all the WARNINGS.if this does not fix your problem then all there is left for you to do is a quick restore using your recovery disk.
however this should fix the problem my computer its running fine now but i believe i should back up all of my personal files now.
good luck.

I have a series pk1 OEM installation and have tried to use the recovery console from a XPpro disk.. unfortunatly it won't accept the administrator password. I have just established that is just a SP1 problem, so too bad. Any suggestions for what i should do next? How likely is it that if i try to reinstall this version that it kills all my personal documents. I don't care about the programs, its my photos and address book stuff that i'm concerened about. i had the unfortunate discovery to find this update has messed up my sytem this morning.

I managed to make the system bootable using the "repair an exisitng installation". However, I still have problems. While the DLLs etc. seem to be fixed, I can not login. The system accepts my old user/pw, but immediately logs me out again. Suggestions? Hey,
