# re: Microsoft Gets a Jump on Vista Pre-SP1 Hotfixes

If I had a dime for every time someone said you can't get hotfixes if you are the general public I would be a rich woman.

In the USA the process is as follows:

1-800-936-4900

Press 2 for IT pro

Press 1 for hotfixes

Say "Hi I need hotfix number ...whatever is is"

They bundle it up and send it to you FOR FREE.

You DO NOT have to be a premier customer to get a hotfix.

Thanks Susan, you can tell how many times I've actually called Microsoft for support on anything.  ;)

Install this update to address an issue in storport.sys which results in a system crash when certain hardware configurations exist.

That's KB 929777 that's on the download site in fact.

There is 23 patches as of today.

Crashing from standby seems to be the major fix for most people on net forums, and HD Audio fix.

Premier is only for business where you can download yourself, and normally hotfixes only available to public if they are in their 90 days support period (or has this now changed ?)
