You’re a good man and deserve good things, despite what people say about your body odour.

Michael,
Make sure you downloaded the appropriate version for 32 or 64-bit. It sounds like you may have downloaded the incorrect one. Either that or the patch is already applied to your system.

I have tried both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions of that update and both say “This does not apply to your system”. What do I do?

This patch is included in Vista Service Pack 1 - which has been out for some time. If you’ve already got Vista up-to-date, you’ll get the message that the update doesn’t apply to your system - because it’s already installed.

I’m in the same boat - crashing frequently between map changes, server changes - ALL related to Vista. MS does a nice spin-job about “some games” having problems with a “modern OS” in their posting on this (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940105), but it’s clearly a Vista issue, and their hack, er, “patch”, doesn’t resolve it for everybody unfortunately.

You’ll especially see this if you have a video card with a large amount of VRAM - I never had the issue until moving to a 1GB 4870 - my older card with 256MB had no issues.

I’m having the same problem accept it is happening with Garry’s Mod and I run on XP.

I am getting this same error with Team Fortress 2 and I am using Windows XP. It isn’t just a Windows Vista problem. Does anybody know what we can do on Windows XP?
