This patch has damaged one of my W2K servers also. Now
the "Client Network" and the "MetaFrame COM Server"
service do not start. Can't start them manually. I can
also not run anything from the command line. Have
reapplied SP3, reinstalled the Client for Microsoft and
TCP/IP and reinstalled the OS...but nothing.
