Write protection does not always work on SD memory cards that are plugged into a computer that runs Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008

Symptoms
Your computer runs Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008. You plugged a Secure Digital (SD) memory card into the computer while the write protection on the SD memory card was turned off. Then, you put the computer to sleep or in hibernation. When the computer was asleep or in hibernation, you turned on the write protection on the SD memory card. Finally, you resumed the computer, and then you tried to write to the SD memory card.
When you tried to write to the SD memory card, you experienced one of the following issues:The write operation was committed on the SD memory card instead of being prevented by the write protection.Therefore, you may have overwritten the data on the SD memory card unexpectedly.You received a warning, and therefore expected that the operation would be canceled. However, the operation seemed to be successful. When you tried to access the newly written data, however, you received an error message that reportedthat the disk is corrupted.To fix this problem, you can either download a hotfix or you can do a workaround. To download the hotfix, see the “Resolution” section. To run the workaround, see the “Workaround” section.
Resolution
This problem occurs because some incorrect parameters are written into the registry when the Sdbus.sys driver initializes.

Offline files that are ghost items on a computer that is running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 cannot be synchronized with the corresponding files on a file server

Symptoms
On a computer that is running Windows Vista orWindows Server 2008, you have some offline files that are ghost items. In this situation, you cannot synchronize the offline files on this computer with the corresponding files on a file server. Additionally, you cannot access or delete these offline files.
Note Ghosting is a new feature for offline files in Windows Vista and in Windows Server 2008. Sometimes, a synchronization process may stop responding because ofnetwork issues that occur when the contents of a file ordirectory are only partly cached. In this case, client-side caching (CSC) creates ghost items on the client computer. Ghost items cannot be deleted. Additionally, the ghosting feature cannot be disabled.

FIX: A hotfix for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 may not update all the necessary files on an x64-based computer

Symptoms
When you install a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4) hotfix that has a build version that is earlier than 8.00.2244 on an x64-based computer, the hotfix does not update all the necessary files.
This installation issue occurs when the system uses the Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) AMD64 processor architecture or the Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T) processor architecture.
Note This issue does not occur on systems that use the Intel Itanium processor architecture.
Resolution
This problem occurs because the hotfix does not correctly determine the locations of the files that must be updated on an x64-based computer. This problem occurs when the files that must be updated are in one ofthe following SQL Server 2000 folders:COMToolsFor example, if you have SQL Server 2000 installed on the C drive of an x64-based computer, the following locations may not be updated correctly:C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BinnC:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\80\COM
