Microsoft on Tuesday reissued the Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 Update Rollup to correct a range of embarrassing glitches haunting users of the enterprise-facing operating system.
The re-release comes less than three months after the software maker first shipped the Update Rollup with more than 50 security patches and system reliability fixes. According to a knowledge base article published by Microsoft Corp., the Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4 v2 provides fixes for four major bugs, including two that returned specific error messages when the first iteration of the update was installed. A third bug that caused "serious problems" when users attempted to modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor was also fixed. The revised update also corrects a problem in the "Fastfat.sys" that blocked users from saving files from Microsoft Office programs directly to floppy disks. Windows 2000 SP4 customers are encouraged to install this update.
The Update Rollup contains:All security updates produced for Windows 2000 between the time SP4 was released and April 30, 2005, when the contents of the Update Rollup were finalized for testing by Microsoft.A number of updates that help increase system security and reliability, reduce support costs, and support the current generation of PC hardware.
