   That's a great update. Bug fixes and preformance improvements are the most important.

   The only problem I think is wrong with windows update is that updates are only sent together every week or month. They should be released every day they are created.

   I installed the reliability update a couple of weeks ago after Windows Explorer crashed on me and advised me to do so. Well, I can't tell if it fixed any problem, but ever since then Windows Media Player has a weird behaviour. Every now and then (means often but not always) when I click on a video (AVI, MPG or whatever), WMP starts playing invisibly, I can tell because I can hear the audio and see the player in the task manager. But it's not on screen, nor in the taskbar. I have to click on the WMP icon in order to make it appear (it just continues playing, no interruption when it appears). So there must be something screwed with that update...

   Islander, I have been having the same problem with WMP11 for months now. The latest WMP updates and Vista stability updates have not resolved the problem. In addition to WMP launching and playing 'invisibly', sometimes after I close WMP, it continues to play 'invisibly. Have you noticed that, too?

   Nick, I hope this recent USB Core update resolves my problems with my Vista Laptop not reconizing my iPod. It reconizes my iPhone fine (First thing i plugged into this laptop) but it couldn't find the iPod Drivers so i had to manually direct windows Vista to the c:\Windows folder and it found the drivers and now all is well. I have to say, these iPods worked fine on my XP Desktop...called Apple and they said to call Microsoft...it's a Vista problem obviously. It was like once Vista used the USB Drivers for the iPhone it didn't wanna let anyother Apple product use em. LOL...anyway hope this info helps.

   I have had WMP on vista, do both of those problems, from the start, just that the closing one happens less often now, maybe just luck there.

   I have the problems with mediaplayer too. Actually both of them, the invisiblity stuff, and the playing after closing. If your mediaplayer goes invisible, dont restart your system, just close MP11 in task manager. I dont know why but it helps. I also have problem with running western raptor disk on my system. Somehow I think its still not compatible.

   I installed these updates a few weeks ago (found them via KB). They killed 2 testing rigs. Description of the problem:

   After installation and reboot everything worked OK. We made new CompletePC backups.

   After restoring these backup(s), the systems went crazy. 100% CPU utilization. Only way to stop it was a hard reset. The test rigs are a Dell and a HP PC. Vista was Business and Ultimate.

   Is there any update to be expected for the "calculating time remaining" feature? I'd really like to get rid of that.

    Are these new versions of the patches?  I've installed all of these and things got worse not better.  The second release of 961469 actually made my USB and sleep/hibernate issues worse and increased my number of crashes.
