visual studio .net debugging : Loader Lock Errors KB 913996

My development team is now suffering from the plague that is the Loader Lock
errors in the Visual Studios 2005 IDE since our upgrade to Intel Core 2 Duo
machines and I notice from the Microsoft technical article KB 913996 there is
a hotfix available, but we can't seem to find it. Where can we download this
hotfix as we are virtually unable to use the .NET IDE for debugging our
applications?

Are you compiling mixed C++ code? I added a #pragma unmanaged to the
top of my C++ files that contained the DllMain entry points and the
problem went away.

No, the entire code is written in C# 2.0. All I can say is that this has
only started occuring since we upgraded to the Intel Dual Core machines.

Thanks, I'll give them a phone. Interestingly I think this issue may be
caused when you have other .NET apps running in the background or hook into
the Windows services on the Dual Core machines.

I am using a Core 2 Duo laptop and have not had any problems. BTW, if
you can't download a hotfix from Microsoft's web site, you will have to
call Product Support Services (PSS) to get the fix. It's usually free.
