Microsoft has informed us that hotfix 8944472 referenced in our FAQ
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/win/winmemory.html
was pulled simply because it will become part of the Windows XP
service pack 3 (SP3). Microsoft says that SP3 will be released
in the next 6 months.
Until SP3 is released, we have received permission from Microsoft to
make hotfix 8944472 available to affected users. It is available via
a link in the above FAQ.
Please let us know if you encounter any problem.
Hua.
