DCOM Hotfix breaks our software

Hi

So, having diligently patched our PCs with hotfix 823980, it turns out that
it breaks a piece of software that is critical to our work. Removing the
hotfix fixes this software. It seems that the two are incompatible...

We're speaking to our software vendor to see if anything can be done about
it, but:

1) Has anyone else had issues with this fix? I've not noticed any
mentioned...
2) What would you suggest we do in the interim [until our software can be
   fixed]? We are behind a firewall, but there are several users who bring
   laptops into the office and use them on the network.


Thanks,

Alex
