Additional notes

If your computer is not updated for any of the reasons that are mentioned in this section:

• The computer is still vulnerable to the issue that is described in Microsoft security update MS05-050.

This issue occurs when the incorrect version of the security update is installed.

To resolve this issue install the correct security update. To install the correct update visit the following Microsoft Web site. You will automatically be prompted to install the correct update for your computer. Note Before you install the correct security update, we recommend that you uninstall the incorrect security update that you previously installed. If you do not uninstall the incorrect security update that you previously installed, and then you install the correct security update, you may lose the ability to later uninstall the correct security update. You are not required to uninstall the incorrect security update that you previously installed. If you choose not to do this, the correct security update will still install successfully by using these steps.

Information for Administrators

To manually install the correct security update, identify the name of the security update that you must install based on the Quartz.dll file and then manually install the correct security update in the manner that you choose.

If the version does not match the version in this column, you still must install the correct update to resolve the issue that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section.
After you identify the name of the security update that you must install, visit the following Microsoft Web site to locate that update:
