KB926436 MS07-011

After the updates released on 13 Feb 2007 were automatically installed on my
computer, I now receive the following error when trying to run a third-party
application: "The procedure entry point _resetstkoflw could not be located in
the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll"

After carrying out some testing, I have isolated patch KB926436 as the cause
of this problem. After removing this patch (and leaving all of the other
patches that were rleased on 13 Feb installed) the software starts fine.

I'm guessing that this patch replaces msvcrt.dll (though the documentation
only mentions Oledlg.dll being replaced).

There are several knowledge base articles that mention the above error
message and most seem to state that the problems are caused by incorrect
versions of the msvcrt.dll file.

Has anyone else encountered similar problems ?

Thanks for your insight and suggestion, Darrell, I had similar problems and removing the patch seems to have fixed them. With me, the issue was confused by the fact that I had a recent power supply problem following a power outage (not completely diagnosed yet), and so I am just as happy to find that Microsoft caused this particular problem and not anything internal here. I only don't like the string of warnings I got about other programs possibly not running right if I removed the patch, and so that remains to be seen. I wonder what Microsoft intends to do about this problem they obviously caused, and I hope we don't get this same or similar download slipped to us again with the next batch of updates.

I also have another error that has popped up along this same time, something similar with WKSSFRM.DLL, wonder if this is related and now fixed too.

Just for information: I have installed the latest version of WinCATs (the
software used for controlling a HPTLC scanner that had a problem with
MS07-011) and this runs OK with MS07-011 installed. I am not seeing any other
problems.
