Windows Vista Performance and Reliability Pack officially released

Reliability pack updatesIt looks like Microsoft has officially released the Window Performance and Reliability Pack and Vista Compatibility and Reliability Pack. We first told you about these Vista update packs last week when unofficial versions made their way onto the net.

Here are some of the issues the update addresses:
  • When you copy or move a large file, the "estimated time remaining" takes a long time to be calculated and displayed.
  • The screen may go blank when you try to upgrade the video driver.
  • The computer stops responding, and you receive a "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" error message.
  • A memory leak occurs when you use the Windows Energy screen saver.
  • If User Account Control is disabled you cannot install a network printer.
  • You experience a long delay when trying to exit the Photos screen saver.
  • It takes your computer a long time to show the logon screen after resuming from hibernation.

We don't blame you if you were nervous about installing an update obtained from a non-Microsoft source. But since it looks like at least some computers aren't downloading the update automatically through Windows Update, you might want to go ahead and download the pack from Microsoft now that it's available.
