Sinceyou didn't mention what bulletin you were referring, i'm going to take
a stab at it. If your software is not mentioned, it should not concern it.
However, there will soon no longer be mentions of NT 4.0 because it is over
7 years old and not supported.
To get a check up on what may be needed for your operating system, go to
 http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Click on the scan for updates and see what is available. It will not only
provide for security updates but drivers as well.
