Found a Vista patch that “improves the compatibility, reliability, and stability of Windows Vista”.Well, actually, my machine found it through “problem reports and solutions” (great Vista feature) after it crashed  J An update is available that improves the compatibility, reliability, and stability of Windows Vista I have no idea why this update is not available as an option on Windows Update.

You might want to download it anyway to improve your “user experience”.

 

And a colleague of mine has pointed me towards:

Cumulative update rollup for USB core components in Windows Vista

 

I'll have a look around for more...

Be careful with this, it is a version 2.  Read the notes on the KB article -

Known issue

Note This package has been updated to version 2. An issue was identified in which certain computers that have specific combinations of older AHCI USB chipsets and CD or DVD drives that use the SerialATA interconnection bus may not start after the installation of the original version of this package. Version 2 of this package has removed the fix that caused this problem. If you are using a computer that experienced this issue, you can restart the computer by using a bootable Windows Vista DVD and by selecting the Repair/System Recovery options. If your computer has already installed the original version of this update and has successfully restarted, you do not have to install version 2 of this update.

That explains why it hasn't been added to a list of patches on WU. Microsoft is right in it's decision because that would be tempting fate to automatically push update if there's a 0.1% probability to crash someone's PC.

Yeah, it's a bit old already, news wise.    Has anyone installed this v2 yet though?

I get an error with KB941649 (v1 or v2), if I include this Update in BDD2007. This happens during the installation process of Windows Vista Enterprise on a Lenovo ThinkPad T60.

Can anybody confirm this, too?

Thanks for your answer.
