Microsoft has posted the first stability and reliability update for Windows 7. This update enhances the stability and reliability of Windows 7 and of Windows Server 2008 R2.
To install this update, you must know whether you are running the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 7. If you are not sure about which version of Windows 7 you have on your computer then follow these steps to determine which version of Windows 7 you have:
1.Click 'Start' and then right-click 'Computer'. Now click 'Properties'.
2.A new window will appear where you can view basic information about your computer. In the 'System type' information under the 'System' section, you can see whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 7.
This update is available to solve problems that affect some systems running on Windows 7. These problems are reported by customers who use the Error Reporting service or Microsoft Customer Support Services.
Here are some of the fixes that this update has:
•When you view a PDF file that was made by using a 2007 Microsoft Office system document, the PDF file is displayed on the screen correctly. However, when the document is printed, some characters are missing. This problem occurs in fonts such as Cambria, Courier New, Calibri or Gabriola. In these fonts characters such as “fi”, “ti”, “fl” and other combinations are ususally shown as ligatures.
•In some scenarios, an EAS i.e Emergency Alert System message does not automatically tune to the desired channel in Windows Media Center.
•You connect a secondary monitor to a system that is installed with Windows 7. When the system resumes from hibernation, a black screen is displayed.
•In some scenarios, the Windows 7 CEIP i.e Customer Experience Improvement Program diagnostic information settings are not configured correctly for Windows Explorer. Only those customers who are enrolled in the Windows 7 CEIP will be affected by this part of the update. This update limits the diagnostic information that can be collected by the CEIP.
•You put an x86-based computer that does not have PAE i.e Physical Address Extension enabled into hibernation. However, it does not enter hibernation correctly. When you try to come back to the system from hibernation, a black screen is displayed. This issue does not affect x64-based or Itanium-based systems, or systems that have the DEP i.e Data Execution Prevention feature enabled.
•A issue in Windows 7 affects the playback of certain media files in Windows Media Player, when Windows Media Player is opened from Internet Explorer. Only those customers whose media associations were not changed correctly will be affected by this part of the update.
•On a system that has Windows 7 installed on it, you use Windows Internet Explorer to open the certificate enrollment Internet page and to install an end entity certificate. However, the installation fails. This problem occurs if the certificate chain for the new certificate cannot be built, or if the root CA i.e Certification Authority has not first been installed in the Trusted Roots on the system.
