Any post-"blaster"-hotfix problems with Autodesk products?

    On Tuesday they pushed fixes for the "blaster" worm, Win2K SP3 (or SP4)
    and hotfix 823980 to our PCs. Since then:

    1) VIZ 4 corrupts all its files, and Explorer crashes if you just move the
    cursor over a VIZ file. Autodesk has a bulletin on this, definitely caused
    by the hotfix. Their main advice for now is to uninstall the hotfix. We
    can't do that, so VIZ is down for now.

    2) A sharp rise in complaints of ADT3 crashes. Not all users, but some who
    almost never got a crash are getting 1-4 per day. Is this related to the SP
    or hotfix? Coincidence?

    3) Not Autodesk related, but just to show that not just Autodesk was
    affected: maybe 30% of our PCs couldn't run Office 2000 programs after the
    service pack and hotfix. They prompt for install CDs, then complain about
    corrupt patches. We fixed this with "msiregmv", one by one.

    Any similar experiences?
