must have hotfix?

Hello all,
i recently install Vista Ultimate.
My question is which are the MUST HAVE hotfix?

I know all depends of my needs, but i mean those who are a must have
for any system.

Example, the virtual memory address for games.

Specially because i´m a gamer, but i do also use it as a multimedia,
browsing the net, etc..

thanks.

Generally you should install all Important/Critical updates.
Recommended should be installed after you have determined it applies
to you.

Avoid driver update from Microsoft/Windows Update.
Instead get drivers directly from the hardware manufacturer.
while the driver updates are provided to Microsoft by the
manufacturers, they are often older partly because of the time needed
to pass additional testing and distribute.

Hi,
I do have all important updates from MS, because they are shown on the
Windows Update.
BUT the hotfix are not listed there and i remember the first time i got
vista, i tried to play a game, after installing windows updates, and i
found a critical error because i didn´t have the virtual memory
alocation hotfix. This hotfix was not included on the windows update.

So basically i´m asking for those hotfix that are not listed on windows
update. like the 3 i mention above.

i´m missing someone or these 3 are enough?

booker,

Go to Control Panel and then Problem Reports and Solutions. If the
problem you encountered is listed in the Problem Reports, and a hotfix is
available, you will be given a link to the hotfix so that you can download it.

Have a nice day.
