NBR Vista Tips and Tweaks Guide

Wait...Im at work so help me here...

Are these the two performance and reliability fixes that have been out for a bit?

[Calvin]

I think there are more than two, and yes they are. Also what do you need help with?

[Les]

No...there are two specific large updates that were advertised through MS about a month ago. they are simply known as the performance Update and the other is the reliability Update. They can be downloaded from MS and have their own number assigned.

And now there are some additional ones, posted to MS as hot fixes just recently. The original four you are talking about all made their way to the "patch Tuesday" cycle and are posted as true updates. These new ones are, at this point, ONLY hotfixes. From the article Calvin posted, it looks like in 24 hours or less they too might be part of a "patch Tueday" cycle and available as updates rather than hotfixes.

I just love being referenced so much.

I just installed vista Premium yesterday and I had 31 updates from MS. Took a good 30 mins to get them.
How to know I got the updates you are taking about?
I have autoupdate disbaled right now and do it once a week or manually.

[Calvin]

You didn't get the updates mentioned because they are hotfixes and aren't up on windows update yet. The old ones may be up tommorow though so check back tommorow for those ones.

HELP!
I did the tunexp for ultra fast booting, and now windows won't boot. It worked fine until then, and I didn't do anything else. (I should add that when I opened tunexp it said error reading memory, but loaded and seemed to work so I let it defragment).

What to do??

Thanks.

I am getting this warning everytime I start after I did the UAC tweak.
Is there a way that it does not appear.
See my attachment.
btw I used the snipping tool to create it
