Not installing security patches to Windows generally isn't a good plan
long-term.  You may be behind a firewall, etc, etc, but I'm still not sure
I'd recommend it unless you *really* know what you're doing.

Fix the problem at the RISC OS end, either by buying LanMan98 Version 2
from WSS (CJE), or -- once it becomes available -- using the updates to
LanManFS from ROOL.  Then make sure your copy of Windows is fully
patched, and keep it that way.
