Can you give us a timeframe for when a patch for this will be out? I keep
reading on various sites that MS will not be waiting until April 10th to
release one. Some sites are even saying that it will be released today
(April 3), but so far I haven't seen it anywhere. Thanks.

It (KB925902) is out on Windows/Microsoft Update already. Go visit
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com *immediately*.

Bye,
Freudi

Thanks for the link. However MS Update has never worked properly for me, at
least with this computer, so any place to go for a manual download?

You should try to fix that ASAP, maybe with help in this special
newsgroup. Start a new thread please describing your problem as
detailed as you can.

> so any place to go for a manual download?

From the headers of your posting it seems you're running Windows XP SP2.
If that assumption is correct and you ask for the Windows XP version:

For other Windows versions please see the direct download links in
Security Bulletin 07-017:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS07-017.mspx

Bye,
Freudi

I just got this update. Now my mouse doesn't work. The cursor just sits
right in the middle of the screen. Is there a simply and quick fix to this?

Have you tried to un-plug the mouse and plug-in again?
