I'm still trying to verify that the OOB fix is in SP3.

| Service Pack 3 includes the OOB fix. Since it was added literally at
the last minute (it wasn't in my Release Candidate kit), the documentation
was not updated. It also includes security fixes for the issues MWC
called the "RedButton Bug".

| 6009.4 | Considerations for NT4.0 SP3 ... | OTOU01::MAIN | Systems Integration-Canada,621-5078 | Sat May 17 1997 09:51 | 19 |

As a suggestion, even though this SP went through some additional
testing, it does contain a fair amount of new functionality, so you may
want to consider:
- review release notes to understand all the issues
- remember that 3rd party products (disk defrag, quota, etc) may not
support SP3 for some time after this release.
- make new ERD (RDISK/S) before applying SP and label accordingly.
- full backup to tape
- apply SP according to release notes. Ensure you choose the uninstall
option. Reboot.
- check out your 3rd party and other app's
- if all ok, full backup to tape
- make new ERD (RDISK/S) and label
Regards,
/ Kerry

| I have since received confirmation that the OOB fix is in SP3. It
was added at the last moment, so they didn't have time to document it, a
poor excuse since the readme was separate from the SP3 downloadable. There
is also now an Alpha OOB fix available for NT 3.51 SP5.

| 6009.6 | Every software update will give new bugs... | HLFS00::ERIC_S | Eric Sonneveld MCS - B.O. IS Holland | Mon May 19 1997 23:41 | 6 |
| I got a long list of new problems after installing sp3 and removed when
deinstalling SP3. It comes from a mailing list from Sunbelt NTtools.
Bottomline: be aware a SP will like any other change to software introduce new
bugs.

| 6009.7 | NT 4.0 SP 3 vs. IE 3.02 Java | PYRO::RON | Ron S. van Zuylen | Tue May 20 1997 02:19 | 17 |
| There have been more frequent reports of Internet Explorer 3.02 hangs
with Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 installed... and they seem to be
related to the Java VM since IE normally freezes while executing web
Java applets. Re-installing IE 3.02 does not seem to help.
For the most part, they've been connected to extremely high color depth
settings on Matrox MGA video adapters. Lowering the video color palette
from the maximum of 32-bit (True Color+) to 24-bit (traditional True
Color; 16.7 million) -- or lower -- resolves the problem for many.
(There were similar IE applet hangs reported before SP 3... but far less
often.)
Of course, your mileage may vary. We'll see what happens once
Microsoft takes a closer look. A patch for IE 3.02? Stay tuned.

| Thanks. It turns out that the OOB fix was not adequate and they've
now rereleased a new version of the OOB fix for the following NT Versions:
NT 4.0 SP3 Intel and Alpha
NT 4.0 SP2 Intel
NT 3.51 SP5 Intel and Alpha
I'm following up on where the Alpha version on NT 4.0 SP2 is.
I'm pulling these kits and they will also shortly be available from the
IBG Software Distribution Server at URL:
http://ibgzko.zko.dec.com/sdk/
in the Miscellaneous Kits area.
