We are currently running a Digital Asset Management web application called MediaBin. The supplier is Interwoven. MediaBin periodically runs slow and I have to restart IIS to get it to run normal. I was told by Interwoven that the Hotfix will resolve the problem. Can you tell me how I could get a copy of the Hotfix?

I'm not sure if this hotfix would resolve your performance problem.

Please call Microsoft PSS to get the hotfix which should be free.

Hi,

I am facing a problem opening PDF in IE after installing KB944533. It says "The file does not begin with PDF%". Will the hot fix KB945701 help in fixing this ?

Thanks,

RRM

That message "The file does not begin with PDF%" sounds like a custom error message from some application. I don't see any relation with that error message and the hotfix!

Apparently the core problem is that IUSR loses read permissions to a registry key. Details (enough to fix without obtaining the hotfix) here:

I have already mentioned workaround in my previous post here

I guess the patch also includes a registry key addition to make sure it's restricted to w3wp.exe.

Downloading a patch from an unknown site might get you into trouble. The correct way to fix the issue is to install the patch related to the KB mentioned above.
