In addition to adding the two Microsoft updates described below, the Vista Software, Drivers and Hardware bookmark page has been revamped a bit.
Via Sidebar Geek, The Wow: "Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit) Hardware
Brief
Description: The Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center enables data
synchronization between Windows Mobile-powered devices and Windows
Vista."
Via Robert McLaws, Vista Daily #14:Microsoft revised Knowledge Base Article 925528, providing a"Reliability update for the USB stack in Windows Vista:"Apply
this update if you experience one or more of the following issues after
you resume a Windows Vista-based computer from sleep or from
hibernation:
- A device stops responding (hangs) or stops
working correctly. There may be a yellow exclamation mark next to the
device in Device Manager. Or, the device may not appear in Device
Manager. The device may be a fingerprint reader, a Windows Media Center
remote control, an optical drive, a FeliCa reader, or some other device.
- After
you resume the computer, you use the Safely Remove Hardware option to
remove a device on a portable Windows Vista-based computer. However, in
this situation, you cannot reconnect the device. After this issue
occurs, the computer may stop responding when you try to shut it down
or to perform a restart.
- A device such as a fingerprint reader is not available for use at the Welcome screen.
- The
LED lights that represent NUM LOCK, CAPS LOCK, and SCROLL LOCK
functionality on a universal serial bus (USB) keyboard do not assume
their pre-sleep or pre-hibernation status after the computer resumes.
Additionally, these lights now remain off, regardless of the status of
the corresponding keys.
- You receive an error message that states that a device does not meet the Logo requirements.
This update also addresses two issues in which you may receive a Stop error message that resembles one of the following.
- Error message 1: STOP 127 PAGE_NOT_ZERO_NVIDIA_USB
This
error occurs on a Windows Vista-based computer that uses 2 gigabytes
(GB) or more of RAM and an nVidia nForce EHCI controller.
- Error message 2: STOP 0x1000007E usbhub.sys SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
This
error occurs because of a race condition in the Usbhub.sys driver. This
condition occurs if a USB device driver tries to enter a selective
suspend state when a previously canceled selective suspend request has
not yet been fully processed."
