Microsoft has come out with a fix for several bugs in that Vista Service Pack 1. One of the repairs fixes the problem in which you cannot run a large application if your computer has been on for a long time.

If you tried to launch 2007 in this situation, for example, you might get the following error message: “EXCEL.EXE is not a valid Win32 application”.

Other bugs supposedly fixed include crashes when launching Apple’s QuickTime media player, and problems playing certain audio and video content.

SP1 was released to the general public in late March. You can get the latest patch by going to the Windows or Update site. Or you can wait for the next Patch Tuesday on July 8, when your computer can download it automatically.
