By , About.com GuideAugust 25, 2010

Follow me on:

Microsoft has released the August 2010 Application Compatibility Update, this time applicable to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

Application Compatibility Updates improve the way Windows works with certain programs. For example, a particular program might have had a problem working as it should in, say, Windows 7 and this update might fix that specific problem.

What this update does:

This patch from Microsoft updates specific Windows files that work with the FastAccess program by Sensible Vision.

This update applies to you if: you're running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

More Information:

This update does not correct a widespread or serious problem. If you use the Sensible Vision FastAccess program, this update may correct some issues when running it in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

However, installing this update if you do not use that program won't hurt anything either.

Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the above Windows operating systems are affected.

You may be asked to restart your computer after installing this update.

Automatically install: via Windows Update.

Manually install: via the download link for your operating system here.
