  Fixes made in this update:
  
  By Component:
  
  Component: Codecs
  090413_KB968971 - This update enables dual channel MPEG audio.
  
  The registry key to handle dual channel MPEG audio playback:
  
  [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DirectX\DirectShow\MPEGAudio]
  "DualMode"=dword:
  
  Where the value is:
  
  0 - enable dual channel playback
  1 - left channel only
  2 - right channel only
  
  The default value is 1.
  
  Component: DirectX
  090415_KB968612 - When a device renderer supports only YV12 format, some WMV files cannot be played.
  
  Component: IE

  Fixes made in this update:
  
  By Component:
  
  Component: IE
  090430_KB969498 - This update addresses a number of Internet Explorer issues.
  
  Component: WININET
  090430_KB961887 - If a client connects to a WinInet API that uses KeepAlives, and then has their IP address change, future attempts at that WININET API will fail.
  
  Implement a new feature hidden behind the registry key:
  
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
  "EnableKillKASocketsOnAddrChange"=dword:
  
  Default setting is 0, which allows WININET to keep KeepAlive sockets open when IP address changes. Set to 1 allows WININET to kill all KeepAlive sockets when IP address changes.

NavReady and SideShow

Here's something I just came across while preparing a post about "Inside of NavReady".

After installing NavReady 2009 I went through the catalog items to see if all the goodies were there, such as MSN Direct Support, LS4D and SideShow support etc. I found everything except for SideShow! A closer look at the NavReady Documentation then gave me a hint:

"Windows SideShow for Windows CE 5.0 is a separate installed product. It must be downloaded and installed in order to be added to an existing installation of Windows CE 5.0."

I checked Microsofts Download site and found this:
Windows® SideShow™ Device Components for Windows® CE 5.0

After downloading and installing the SidesShow Device Components I was able to add SideShow components to my OS Design:

After installation you will also find the C# SideShow Console Sample under _WINCEROOT%\Public\Servers\SDK\Samples\SideShow\Console

So long and thanks for all the fish!
