Intel Graphics Drivers Advisory

CarpentersMate wrote on 12/15/2021, 1:40 AM

For all my friends who've been following the 'Intel Graphics Security Bulletin' and the information our distinguished colleague John has contributed, there's some additional information. The details 'could' help resolve the issue? I posted requests on 2-3 boards for clarification and recieved the following:

There may be 'other issues' I'm missing? As I intended; 'DISABLE' the onboard in the Bios. *But they still removed Direct X, (as john pointed out), from the recommended driver. How does that affect MEP?

There's also another INTELL link (which I can't post successfully) that provides a guide for appropriate graphics drivers. I can message that for those interested ...

Hope this helps!?

Merry Holidays & Happy New Year!

Mike

Thanks Ray

'Extracting a Microsoft Update'

Has anyone ever tried this before? Does this look risky?

Hi Bob.

'Extracting a Microsoft Update'

Has anyone ever tried this before? Does this look risky?

This it the type of thing my son would have been doing in his job from time to time when he first started in tech support and would have been a part of his 'Microsoft Tool kits' that he still has on individual USB thumb-drives.

There are still some industrial systems that rely on Win 98.

Anyone used to working with command line code would find it easy. For the average user, possibly not. Certainly it is not something I have ever tried or had to. If it is a fresh install there is nothing to lose if you have the operating system on disk. If not, then don't bother. I am surprised you never had service pack 2 which was mainly based around media handling improvements if my memory serves me correctly (Which it probably isn't but seem to have a hazy recollection of).

Hi Mike

. . . . 'Extracting a Microsoft Update' Has anyone ever tried this before? Does this look risky? . . . .

Like @CubeAce's son this is something we did when I was working - we would slipstream updates etc into our build images instead of recreating a complete new image for building computers.

It is a common method for computer system builders and avoids all the potential risks when downloading the required files from dubious / enverifiable sources.

Failures during upgrades are forunately not so common as you would think from all the hype you see on the Internet.
