Latest Windows XP patch can slow down PCs
April 24 2003-Just in case everyone has missed all of the postings about this, I just realized I had not posted anything about it yet.
Microsoft's latest security patch can cause computers running Windows XP to slow down to a crawl, affected users say.
Windows XP can take up to 10 seconds to start an application after installation of the patch released last Wednesday with security bulletin MS03-013, users wrote in dozens of postings on several online discussion boards. Removing the patch brings system speed back to normal, according to these users.
