Hello,
I am using XP SP2 and Office 2003. I downloaded and installed the Microsoft
GDI+ Detection Tool (KB873374) update from Windows Update. But my question
is then it a web site pops up:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/bulletins/200409_jpeg_tool.mspx
On this web site it has button that says, "Check for Affected Imaging
Software" and above this button it says, "To scan your hard disk for software
that needs updating, click the button." Above this it says, "Step 2 (For
Users of Windows Versions Other Than Windows XP or Windows Server 2003):
Update Imaging Software." This installs an ActiveX control in the
Downloaded Programs Files folder called "GDI+." I am confused to why there
is this update and also the one I have already installed from Windows Update
(that I mentioned above.) If I have Office 2003 do I need this ActiveX
control since I have Windows software other than XP SP2? Someone please tell
me EXACTLY who should click this button and install this GDI+ ActiveX
control. Thank you!!
