Microsoft, HP patch problem

Users of Hewlett-Packard printers, scanners and cameras <A HREF="http://www.cio.com/blog_view.html?CID=20318">may be experiencing some problems</A> after installing Microsoft's latest round of security patches, released late last week. The problems, which concern a Windows operating system patch numbered MS06-015, can cause some applications to crash, Microsoft warned Saturday. Microsoft believes the problem is primarily affecting consumer users and is having "little to no impact on corporate networks." The problem affects users who have installed software that is included with a number of HP devices, "including but not limited to printers, scanners, and cameras," wrote Microsoft's Stephen Hui, in a newsgroup posting. Users also have experienced the problem in popular applications like Outlook or Word.
