The GDI+ security update for September 2004 addresses newly discovered issues in JPEG processing technology. This issue affects software that supports this image format, including some versions of Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, and Microsoft developer tools. If you have any of the listed software installed on your computer, you should install the related update.

Depending on the software you are using, you may need to install multiple updates from multiple locations.

Important Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) is not affected by the GDI+ issue, and installing Windows XP SP2 eliminates the GDI+ issue in affected Microsoft developer tools and imaging software. However, Windows XP SP2 users may have other Microsoft software installed that requires updating. If you use Windows XP SP2 and Microsoft Office, please visit the Office Update Web site to scan your computer for needed updates.

Bulletin Release Information

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028 was re-released on October 12, 2004, to address an issue that prevented some updates originally released on September 14, 2004, from installing on computers running Windows XP SP2. If you use Windows XP SP2 and if you installed the original updates for Visio 2002, Project 2002, or Office XP, you should return to the Office Update Web site to install the revised updates.
