    After you install this update and then restart the computer, the computer may crash because of these compatibility issues. In this situation, you receive a Stop error message that resembles the following:

    Stop error


    Note
    This Stop error includes the "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" text and the Igdpmd64.sys or Igdpmd32.sys file name.

    To resolve this issue, you may have to install update 2834140 ("0x00000050" Stop error after you install update 2670838 on a computer that is running Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1).

    Actions required for Windows 7 DirectX developers after the installation


    If you are a Windows 7 DirectX developer who uses the June 2010 DirectX Software Development Kit (SDK), you'll have to update your development environments after you install this platform update. The following .dll files that are associated with this SDK are incompatible with this platform update:
    • D3D10SDKLayers.dll
    • D3D11SDKLayers.dll
    • D3D10ref.dll
    • D2D1debug.dll
    You can use one of the following applications or tools to update these .dll files:
    • The Windows 8 SDK: This SDK updates the current development environment with new headers, libs, and tools. These include the development .dll files from the preceding list. This update does not update the C or C++ compilers or the IDE, but it does let developers integrate the new features of the platform update into their applications.
    • Microsoft Visual Studio 2012: This application includes the Windows 8 SDK, the Visual Studio 2012 IDE, and the new compilers. It also lets developers integrate the new features of the platform update into their applications.
    • Remote Tools for Visual Studio 2012: These tools represent the minimum requirement in order to continue using the Direct3D debug layer. These tools update only the development .dll files from the preceding list. They do not enable developers to integrate the new features of the platform update into their applications. These tools are available in the "Remote Tools for Visual Studio 2012" section of the Visual Studio Download Center, or they can be downloaded from the following links:
      • Remote Tools for Visual Studio 2012 (x86) English
      • Remote Tools for Visual Studio 2012 (x64) English

      Note
      The Pix for Windows tool from the DirectX SDK is incompatible with this platform update. See Debugging Shaders in Visual Studio for more information about the new tools that are available in Visual Studio 2012.
    For more developer information about this platform update, see Platform update for Windows 7.

    Update replacement information
    The following updates are superseded by this platform update:
    •   2484033 An update that improves the print performance of XPS documents in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2 is available
    •   2505438 Slow performance in applications that use the DirectWrite API on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
    • 2511250 You cannot print a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) or level 3 Cascading Style Sheet (CSS3) file in Internet Explorer 9

    After you install this platform update, Windows 7 updates for the files that are listed in the "File information" section will be superseded by updates for this platform update.
    File information
    The global version of this hotfix installs files that have the attributes that are listed in the following tables. The dates and the times for these files are listed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The dates and the times for these files on your local computer are displayed in your local time together with your current daylight saving time (DST) bias. Additionally, the dates and the times may change when you perform certain operations on the files.
    Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 file information notes
    Important Windows 7 hotfixes and Windows Server 2008 R2 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.
    • The files that apply to a specific product, milestone (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:
      VersionProductMilestoneService branch
      6.1.760
      1.22xxx
      Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2SP1LDR
    • GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.
    • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are critical to maintaining the state of the updated component. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
