Yes, I could successfully "request" to Microsoft --at the hotfix' web page-- that they send to my email address the download link for the hotfix itself, but then I never received Microsoft email with the download link for the hotfix. I tried for several days, from different locations/IPs, with different browsers, etc. Never I got the email from Microsoft with the download link for that hotfix (but I could successfully get the Microsoft email with the link to download several other hotfixes, like the two SHA-2 hotfixes for Windows Server 2003, and the DES/3DES hotfix for the SMTP service of IIS 6.0 in Windows Server 2003, etc.). So you got the email from Microsoft with the download link for hotfix KB948963? Regards -- Josh Good
