You are correct in that regards. It is specifically Ole32.dll, Rpcrt4.dll and Rpcss.dll that are causing the problems. (Q824136 is regarded as a Windows Explorer Access Violation).
The problem though.. why the f**k should an RPC patch affect whether or not I can open a.gmax file?
And this does not only affect this patch, but if you had installed SP4 the same thing happens. Its like my PDF files getting flucked because I got the new DirectX 9.0b.
Hmm.. patch and can't work. Don't patch and can't work. Crap.
And yeah, I just made a midnite run to a client site because mail/website/firewall were not responding. My OpenBSD firewall was tighter than a dolphins' ass. It was the whole damn Internet rebooting. ISP went up in flames.
One of the reasons that this patch may not be installed everywhere, besides the obviously long QA side of testing patches before deployment (I was burned by SP3 and a Promise IDE controller) is that it is pretty far reaching.
Any game house or animation company for games like Quake or UnrealTournament2003 will probably not have applied this patch. Reason: It made it so they could not open any of the files made in gmax

But.. they too would be a Windows user!!
Unless they skipped the whole QA portion of programming and decided not to test it on their own Red Lan systems...

'Cause they lose all respect when people find out they were just licensing their own servers.
If you had been following this case you would realize that my program would determine it better:

I completely misread the last line as why some humans who are repeatedly exposed to HIV don't get sex. We are talking about code-monkeys, right?
