I installed update 819696 and after the install I am not
able to copy the files in folder "\windows\system32
\config".

I receive, "error copying file or folder cannot copy
DEFAULT: it is being used by another person or program.
Close any program that might be using the file and try
again."

I don't have any other programs running. Is there a way
to get the file DEFAULT fixed so that the folder it is in
can be copied?

Since installing this update on XP Pro, my mouse and screen have frozen
about 5 times this past week. Only a reboot will bring it back; it won't
go into Task Manager. I can't even remember the last time this happened
prior to this update.

Something ain't right..

Chuck,
Thank you for the reply. I did a disk to disk copy using
MaxBlast while windows was running a few days prior to
applying this update. I think the copy operation was not
a good thing to do. I have found several things not
working correctly and have restored my system to attempt
to get back to normal. I uninstalled the update and the
tried it again and it failed. I have not tried any
updates again since restoring my system but now doubt
the update was the problem. I guess I cannot copy the
windows folder with windows running, is this true?
