I have got these in and all my games feel a lot better

snow patrol · 30 Jul 2007 at 11:23

hmmn, my vista 64 seems fine, although i've only had it for a few days. I'm kind of loathed to 'risk' installing this pack.

dannywaugh1 · 30 Jul 2007 at 11:32

ooo i will be trying these

stickroad · 30 Jul 2007 at 11:35

Ummmm these dont seem to work for me, it comes up with a error message:

Installer Encountered an error. 0x8007000d

The Data is invalid.

Anyone know why im getting that error?

Final8y · 30 Jul 2007 at 11:38

I'm keeping well away until i they go official.
Plus all my stuff works.

I was getting that with the second download, I re-dowloaded it and it was fine.

Well now the first hotfix has donwloaded and now installed.

Just trying to get the second one to install.

Dont you just love VISTA.

Black Dragon · 30 Jul 2007 at 11:52

Downloaded and installed.

3dmark06 gets 6 points lower than pre-install so no change there. Yet to try gaming to look for a difference.

DreXeL · 30 Jul 2007 at 12:02

Got both installed now (running x64), and everything just feels 'snappier', not sure if that's just a placebo, but it certainly feels better :cool:

modo77 · 30 Jul 2007 at 15:08

Things do seem smoother with these updates

marc2003 · 30 Jul 2007 at 15:24

i've installed them but can't notice any difference. but then my vista was running great beforehand anyway.

bledd · 30 Jul 2007 at 15:27

installing vista again to see if my 7900gt will work ingame with this hotfix

the guys who contribute to that website are the msfn hotfix guys, they wouldn't go posting any crap on there

Well after installing them and just trying BF2 I was greeted shorty from a blue screen of death to which I have been free of for 3 weeks.

Will post my joys later.

modo77 · 30 Jul 2007 at 17:19

Well the file transfer is deffinatly faster

And i've played a few rounds on BF2 and no problems

Edit: However just noticed that the unsigned drivers bypass no longer works. (without using the F8 menu). Guess i'll have to change the video clock speeds in the bios.

Coolasmoo · 30 Jul 2007 at 17:35

Using x64 and i got a nice boost in the only thing ive tested so far

3Dmark 06 up from 11500 to 11850

using same driver /settings as before the update
