Four Must-Have Vista Updates

*polonyc2* · 09-18-2007, 03:47 PM

If you're running Windows Vista, you need to fire up your web browser and install these four updates now. Many of the fixes we've been waiting for in Service Pack 1 are found here, and they significantly improve the performance and compatibility of the new OS...

In Windows Explorer, when the Show hidden and protected OS files setting is enabled on the View tab of the Folder Options dialog box, the setting is disabled.

Does this mean that the show hidden files setting will no longer work?

MS sez.. for each one.. does not apply to your system...!?

If your checking windows updates they wont be there.

No, that's the point.. I downloaded each one directly from the MS website, and each one shows a no-go after an install attempt...!?
