RE: Microsoft updates

Jack,

If you want to read a description of those updates and learn something else

use this address:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=934062

This one applies to Q934062 mentioned in your example.

If you want to read another KB article, just replace the 6 digits with the

corresponding ones.
