Microsoft is offering two fresh Windows Vista updates to testers in what was the potential to be a taste of the first service pack for the operating system. 938979 Vista Performance and Reliability Pack and 938194 Vista Compatibility and Reliability Pack are being offered via the "Windows Server 2008 Beta" program in Microsoft Connect. The updates are delivered for both the 32-bit and the 64-bit editions of Windows Vista.
From the initial date of general availability on January 30, 2007, Windows Vista was plagued with issues associated more or less directly with the compatibility, performance and reliability of the platform. It appears that the end user input got to Microsoft and that the company has undertaken the necessary measures to resolve the issues.
"This update resolves a number of individual issues which may be affecting some computers running Windows Vista. These issues have been reported by customers using the Error Reporting service, product support, or other means. Installing this update will improve the performance and responsiveness for some scenarios and improves reliability of Windows Vista in a variety of scenarios," reads the description of the 938979 Vista Performance and Reliability Pack published on AeroXP.
With a private beta version of Vista SP1 already under way, the two updates released to testing seem to offer a preview of the service pack. Still, although Vista SP1 could very well include these resolves, the fact of the matter is that Microsoft can also simply make them available through Windows Update. The Redmond company has stressed on numerous occasions the fact that the update infrastructure built around the operating system is increasing in relevance in the detriment of future service packs. Here are two lists with the improvements included in the updates.
938979 Vista Performance and Reliability Pack:
• Improves performance in resuming back to the desktop from the Photo and Windows Energy screensaver.
• Resolves an issue where some secured web pages using advanced security technologies may not get displayed in Internet Explorer on Windows Vista.
• Resolves an issue where a shared printer may not get installed if the printer is connected to a Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 system and User Access Control is disabled on the Vista client.
• Resolves an issue where creating AVI files on Vista may get corrupted.
• Improves the performance in calculating the ‘estimated time remaining’ when copying/moving large files.
• Improves performance in bringing up Login Screen after resuming from Hibernate.
• Resolves an issue where synchronization of offline files to a server can get corrupted.
• Resolves a compatibility issue with RAW images created by Canon EOS 1D/1DS Digital SLR Camera which can lead to data loss. This only affects RAW images created by these two specific camera models.
• Resolves an issue where a computer can lose its default Gateway address when resuming from sleep mode.
• Improves the performance when copying or moving entire directories containing large amounts of data or files.
• Improves the performance of Vista’s Memory Manager in specific customer scenarios and prevents some issues which may lead to memory corruption.
938194 Vista Compatibility and Reliability Pack:
• Improved reliability and compatibility of Vista when used with newer graphics cards in several specific scenarios and configurations.
• Improved reliability when working with external displays on a laptop.
• Increased compatibility with many video drivers.
• Improved visual appearance of games with high intensity graphics.
• Improved quality of playback for HD-DVD and Blue-Ray disks on large monitors.
• Improved reliability for Internet Explorer when some third party toolbars are installed on Vista.
• Improved Vista reliability in networking configuration scenarios.
• Improved the reliability of Windows Calendar in Vista.
• Improved reliability of systems that were upgraded from XP to Vista.
• Increased compatibility with many printer drivers.
• Increased reliability and performance of Vista when entering sleep and resuming from sleep.

don't do it...you won't be able to cut and paste, or create and rename a folder. at
least that's been my experience. i first imaged my drive, installed the smaller hotfix,
which seemed fine after reboot. then i imaged again, and installed the larger hotfix.
that is when the trouble appeared. uninstalling these service packs will not fix the
problem, so if you try these, be sure to image first.
these updates have been available for sense the 20th through connect, if you had actually
read the release notes for these updates you would know that unless you have been having
one of the listed problems you should not install the monthly patch drops(these)imperator,
i logged your problem with ms connect support, but no one else has had, or been able to
reproduce your issue, if that changes i will post again.
i install it in my vista ultimate x86 it work well i read that microsoft will release
these hotfix in 08/14/2007 than they release vista sp1
yeah i know...rtfm. i did. :-) i *did* in fact suffer very poor performance while
doing cut and paste operations of large data. i also had a few issues listed under the
compatibility hotfix as well. at any rate, i appreciate you bringing it to the attention
of the powers that be.
imperator, it seems, that you are unable to rename folders, is not matter of the patch. i
had this problems long time ago, so i'm thinking it's just came up on this time. it's
something with the registry....the only way, how to fix it is reinstall...i've noticed,
this prob came up after first use of registry cleaner in ccleaner. maybe some registry
cleaning is deleting something, it shouldn't be deleted.
jlp - good thought, but it is consistently reproducable with the introduction of the
performance patch. i tried it twice to make sure it wasn't a fluke. in addition, after
i imaged the drive after installing the compatibility patch only, that particular drive
imange was corrupt when i tried to restore it with true image, which never happens. as
no one else is experienceing this, i am chalking it up to a peculiarity with my particular
system. in the interim, i'll be waiting for the official sp1. still...beyond the slow
data transfer on large files, i am entirely pleased with vista. cheers
i read, that this updates will be released finalized in this month monthly windows
update. so it will probably work for you also. have you vlite-ed the vista installation
with vlite or tweak installed os with vistamanager??? maybe there could be the catch.
ms apparently complained so the actual files are no longer available at these links.
yep...i'm vlited. i'm thinking maybe that has something to do with it as well. i
wiped the drive this afternoon and reloaded vista. installed the hotfixes right off the
bat; same thing. bummer.
i had vlited vista, when i had this problem. reinstalled with the unmodified vista,
installed these updates and everything is working like a charm. also update of windows
update software is working like it should. :)
i'm quite sure, it's something with vlite. try to erase hard drive and reinstall
unmodified vista.
http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=101978
it seems there's a workaround in that very same thread. wish me luck! lol
nuhi fixed it good.
you see...it's vlite related. :)
can somebody please tell me how to install this hotfix...i'm compltetely new with this
kind of stuff..pre-thanx to my replyer..
just double-click on the msu file in vista. :)
yeah i know...rtfm. i did. :-) i *did* in fact suffer very poor performance while doing
cut and paste operations of large data. i also had a few issues listed under the
compatibility hotfix as well. at any rate, i appreciate you bringing it to the attention

i think you meet that bug bcs you use vlite vista,
i read
that in vlite.net
vista pack no error work fine
you are correct - in my case it was a vlite issue. there is a workaround posted on the
forum. and yet, there are reports that some oem users are experiencing the problem as
well. i hope ms is able to address the problem before the fixes are officially released.
all of these(2 update) are now downloadable with wga from ms
