Don, I heard this problem mentioned on The Screen Savers last night. I
surfed the TSS website this morning and they say that Microsoft
suggests - first - uninstalling the patch - second - disabling your
antivirus/autoprotect software - third - re-installing the patch then
re-enabling your antivirus/autoprotect software. Of course, this is
complete hearsay so I don't know if it really works. It's also
possible that we may see an update to the patch coming from Microsoft
soon - purely speculative. Best of luck.
