When trying to apply hotfix from article 951418 I keep getting a message 'this update is not applicable for this computer", even though I am running a 64 bit windows7 pro computer. I have tried all 3 variations of the hotfix-64, 86, and ia64, but all say not applicable on this computer. Any help is appreciated.Monday, November 28, 2011 3:53 PM

FWIW, the correct version for your Win 7 x64 system would be the 64, not the IA64.If you have SP1 for Win 7 installed, be sure to mention that to the support people. That may be your issue.- Marked as answer by Niki Han Monday, December 5, 2011 9:48 AM

Please check the file version, date of srvnet.sys and srv.sys in %systemdrive%\Windows\System32. If the files' version on your computer are higher, the hotfix will be not applicable for this computer. If you installed Windows 7 Service Pack 1, the hotfix is not applicable for this computer.
