WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this behavior:

1. Using Windows NT Explorer, rename the Nwprovau.dll file located in the
  %SystemRoot%\System32 folder. To do so, right-click the file, click Rename,
  type a new name for the file (such as Nwprovau.sp5), and then press ENTER.

  NOTE: The file may be in use by Windows, so it may be necessary to rename the
  file from a command prompt.

2. If you created an uninstall folder for SP5 and your uninstall folder contains
  Service Pack 4, locate the Nwprovau.dll file in the
  %SystemRoot%\$ntservicePackUninstall$ folder, and then copy the file to the
  %SystemRoot%\System32 folder.

3. If you did not create an uninstall folder for SP5, locate the Service Pack 4
  CD-ROM and copy the Nwprovau.dll file from the I386 folder on the CD-ROM to
  the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder.
