SUMMARY
Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 (SP3) fixes the following application compatibility problems:
 * When you click About on the Help menu in the Best Software FAS Asset Accounting version 2001 program, an access violation may occur.
 * When you run the command /c c:\  command from the Run dialog box, you receive an &quot;Out of Environment&quot; error message.
 * Extremely Long ASF Marker Causes Buffer Overrun in Windows Media Player (WMP)

The insertion of an extremely long marker in an Advanced Streaming Format (.asf) file may cause a buffer overrun in WMP, which permits malicious code to run in the security context of the current user.
 * Long Embedded Script in ASF File Causes Buffer Overrun in WMP

WMP truncates script commands longer than 4096 bytes but does not stop the truncated string, which permits malicious code to run in the security context of the current user.
 * Cannot Reinitiate Feed After Link Between Server and Encoder Is Dropped

After the link between the WMP 7.1 encoder and the server is dropped, you must restart the server to reinitiate Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) broadcasts.
