The remove icon isn't shown for it or most of the other hotfixes. Why is this and how can I fix this. I can’t uninstall it either. The remove icon isn’t shown for it or most of the other hotfixes.

Every single one of the hotfixes installed on my computers (production and test) has a Remove option available. The new 811493 hotfix is definitely working properly now... I am personally aware of a problem on computers that are using Diskeeper for defragmenting. Are you guys using Diskeeper? Hmmm.

I then found the toshiba driver update that stated NOTE: *When using the Atheros Client Utility for WPA, do not install the Microsoft Windows XP Support Patch for Wireless Protected Access, Q815485. This Patch is not needed. I cannot find Q815485 in add/remove programs OR in System Restore :( ?? Is there another way to remove hot "fixes" ? thanks I previously installed Q815485 hoping my laptop would connect WPA to my router. I then found the toshiba driver update that stated

Is there another way to remove hot “fixes” ?

thanks

Doing so usually adds its uninstall routine to the Registry and allows you to remove it. However, if you can wait a few weeks for Windows XP SP2 (or install the RC2 version now), your problem should eb solved. Excellent WPA support is built into SP2.
