• Problem with KB 2753842

    Posted on December 14, 2012 at 19:03 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    If you didn’t follow my advice, and you installed KB 2753842 – one of this month’s Black Tuesday patches, MS12-078 – and you use CorelDRAW on a 64-bit Win7 system, you probably lost some fonts.

    Gary G, posting on the CorelDRAW forum, nailed it.

    It’s another buggy patch that’s only fixed by backing out to a restore point.

    Folks, no matter what you read online, Microsoft distributes buggy patches through Automatic Update, like clockwork – sometimes minor bugs like this one, sometimes big bugs. I figure they’re running one stinker every-other month, on average, if you don’t count the .NET patches – which are always cesspools.

    If you wait two or three weeks to install new patches, you’ll be able to draw on the experiences of millions of testers. 

    Or, you can take the advice of the so-called experts, let Microsoft install its patches whenever it rolls them down the Automatic Update chute, and lose your CorelDRAW fonts. This month. Heaven knows what’ll happen next month.
