Issue(s) Resolved in this Hotfix

Caution! Several items in this hotfix may require you to edit the registry. 
Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require 
you to reinstall your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems 
resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry 
Editor at your own risk. 

1. When accessing a Web page that contained an AlphaImageLoader object in a 
published instance of Internet Explorer in Program Neighborhood Version 7.1 or 
later, Internet Explorer experienced a fatal error. This occurred because the 
presence of the AlphaImageLoader object on the Web page loads a DLL associated 
with SpeedScreen Browser Acceleration even if that feature is not enabled. The 
fatal error occurred because the DLL's data structures were not initialized 
unless SpeedScreen Browser Acceleration is enabled.

This hotfix modifies the DLL so that it works properly even if SpeedScreen 
Browser Acceleration is not explicitly enabled.

[From Hotfix XE104W2K004][#94109]

2. Servers on which SpeedScreen Browser Acceleration was enabled would 
unexpectedly restart at periodic intervals with memory dumps indicating the 
vdtw30.dll video driver to be at fault. The issue occurred due to improper 
error handling when older clients, which do not support ThinWire2 mode, were 
connected to the servers in ThinWire1 mode.

This hotfix corrects the issue. 

[From Hotfix XE104W2K004][#108173]

3. Servers may have experienced a KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (8e) blue 
screen when clients utilized the ThinWire1 virtual channel by connecting at low 
resolution and low color depth. For example, a client connecting at less than 
800x600 pixels and 256 colors may have caused the exception. This occurred 
because of an invalid handle.

This hotfix corrects the issue.
