John – If you are having issues copying files even with the patches, then that’s a real shame. I found a free utility called Teracopy which is supposed to optimise file transfers and I am now using it religously. Although with one 200MB video file if it’s taking 2 minutes to calculate that sounds like either a heavily fragmented or faulty hard drive to me.

i got a BSOD after applying the USB fix. it has been fine ever since. i wonder if being connected to a USB hub/KB/mouse had anything to do with it?

Lots of folks reporting system problems including BSODs and the like after applying these patches. I am not going to apply them to the new HP as a result and don’t recommend anyone apply them yet.

I’ll give them a whirl. I hope one of these fixes my BSOD on shutdown problem.

Btw, does anyone else feel kind of like they’re playing Russian Roulette when you install updates, or is it just me?

Third link doesn’t work for me, either. Looks like it may have been removed.

Is the third link dead?

Doesn’t say anything with my biggest gripe of Vista, even with the previous patches installed, namely – dog slow file copying.

This morning I wanted to copy a 217MB video to another partition:
Time to calculate – 1m 50s
Time to copy – 45s
