Remember, you heard it here first!!!!

"After September 8, 2001 when you attempt to restore a checkpoint in Windows Millennium Edition (Me), the restore procedure does not work. This problem occurs because the algorithm that is used to calculate the checkpoint file name does not work after September 8, 2001. A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct the problem described in this article and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. To resolve this problem immediately, download the fix as instructed or contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the fix."

Actually, someone else posted this the day the fix came out. About two weeks ago . . .

If a user runs their Windows Update on a regular basis, this is a part of the Critical Update Package for WinMe.

Sorry Grim . . . we heard it here second . . . but thanks for bringing it up again for those who missed it the first time.
