So, my question for the tech folks here is this: I've unregistered the
relevant .dll (non-geeks: it's ridiculously easy to do this; see below), but
want to know if I should install the third-party non-Microsoft patch now, or
wait for the official Microsoft version.

Please don't bother with the standard platform gloating noise; this seems
serious. Thanks.

 * Fellow computer idiots: To unregister the thing that might cause trouble,
just click "Start" then "Run" then paste "regsvr32 -u
%windir%\system32\shimgvw.dll" (without the quotes) into the box, then click
Ok, then Ok again. If I understand the Metafilter thread correctly, this is
not 100% safe, but it's a good start.
