Hi, all. Only 1 update for those with Windows XP SP3 this month. The other 3 updates released this month (July 2008) are for other software and/or SP2 and prior.

Also added a non-security update for people with device manager and networking problems after sp3.

So, download and it and feel secure for another month.

@BlueFlame.

Both are there. KB953230 and KB953235 are the collective KB's for all affected software. Once you click on the link, then you click on your product - which in this case is XP SP3 (or XP SP2 since both can be affected). Then, the KB# changes to the one specific for the software.

So KB953230 changes to KB951748. I'm not sure exactly why, but it's the same KB # for SP2/SP3 and x64 but the download size is different.

Anyway, I'm not sure what convention MS uses and why the KB# change but you should find all updates from the links provided as long as you choose your product affected.

Remember, if XP SP3 is NOT affected, then the link may or may not be there for your product.

Updated with 5 security updates so far (4 XP and 1 Windows Explorer or you can do the cumulative).

I think this takes care of August updates.

*** Also, I changed all links to their direct download rather than their security bulletin link (MSXX-YYY). I left the .Net vulnerability to its security bulletin article because you have to download the update for your version of .Net Framework. If you need the KB or security bulletin, it's on the download page anyway.***

Mine are post-sp3 so you must have sp3 installed.

Only thing he has that I don't is the ActiveX Killbits cumulative update. Otherwise the lists are similar. Only the KB article numbers may differ depending what he's linking to and what I'm linking to.

Well, I belive what he lists on top of the first post are post-SP3 ones as well!

Numbers do not matter (though I do not understand why they differ either :)), but should't the total number of updates the same? (if first line of this post is true, which I belive is, considering the name of the_guy's thread).

You may want to add KB938127 V2 for IE7 to your IE7 updates list, spacesurfer. The original IE7 KB938127 vgx.dll patch could not install under XP SP3 and only installed under XP SP2 but Microsoft issued a revised patch in late August to correct the problem. Get the revised patch here:
