The three critical bulletins repair holes in DirectX, Internet Explorer and Windows Media Format, which supports Windows Media Player, according to a pre-release notification.

The four less critical fixes, labeled "important," sew up holes in Window; two repair vulnerabilities in Vista.

The busier Patch Tuesday comes one month after Microsoft released just two fixes.
