BSOD Windows XP Patch Released
Install it to Resolve BookSkin Issues with Win XP SP2
Tuesday, April 19, 2005 by BX | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Microsoft has posted a critical fix to Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) on its Windows Update site, and pushed it to users relying on Automatic Update.
The problem, which has actually been public since December 2004, also affects Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005. In some cases, installing third-party anti-virus or firewall software -- Microsoft didn't name makers or package titles -- can bring down the operating system in a Blue Screen of Death with a cryptic error that reads "Stop 0x05 (INVALID_PROCESS_ATTACH_ATTEMPT)."

Is it mandatory that I download this? I've never had a problem with it.

Check your Windows folder to see if it (887742$) is already installed.
The article states that the patch was released in Nov. 2004 for XP SP2. It was installed on my system on the 14th of this month, but then so was XP (fresh install, new machine).

Is it a bluescreen that comes up just after the bootscreen shows?

I am glad it has worked for you but after installing the patch here, BootSkin is still wacky on SP2

Ah, that will be the field testing then...
Just because it has worked for you doesn't make it so. My BootSkin still BSODs every now and then.
