    go to windows update, view installed updates, remove 929777.

    restart, run windows update and reinstall 929777, should be flawless.

    I have 4gb, haven't noticed a difference with or without the update.

    Hah, that's nothing. On my desktop, Vista x64 wouldn't even boot off a clean install unless I took out 2GB of my RAM. I had to install that update before I could put the RAM back. And I love hoe "certain hardware configurations" seems to be "everyone with 4GB of RAM and an nVidia chipset." Ridiculous.
