[Recursion]

Trader, serves you right for pirating Vista ;) And why don't you use Aero?

[sgraham]

Just to confirm, Windows Vista SP1 has been released on both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.

If you cannot see SP1 on your Update Center, use the "Check for updates" tool.

Good luck.

Trader, serves you right for pirating Vista ;) And why don't you use Aero?

[Recursion]

1. activate Vista ;)
2. goto desktop > right click > properties > themes > Aero.

[sgraham]

Right click on your desktop, choose Personalize, select Window Color and Appearance and click "Enable transparency".

Good luck.

[efq]

not under my themes :(((
nd vista is activated :DDDDDDddd

Maybe Ill get the vista you have.

1. activate Vista ;)
2. goto desktop > right click > properties > themes > Aero.

[Technologic]

Still not showing in updates

[Jamesy]

I wish we had an event log :(

Facepunch has it and you can see everything that happens :)

*referring to members being banned and i'm just nosey*


No update for me either. I'm just backing up files because I can :D

[Antony]

Thanks Ryan, Going to go onto my Vista machine and upgrade now .. by the looks of things it may take a while :P

[Sammeth.]

http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/005f921e-f706-401e-abb5-eec42ea0a03e1033.mspx?mfr=true

That kinda explains a lot about it, with notable changes and all that.

[Jordy]

8 tries and no luck so far, I'll wait till tomorrow :P - Now most American's are coming online it must be the absolute 'peak time' so it's no surprise.

Windows Defender is receiving plentiful updates though, not like I use the damn thing.

V21 of Habbo was also released today, omg what a coincidence and yet another pleasant surprise LOL.

[kk.]

just did a search and got it, third time though :)
it installed the 07 SP1 first time :P
then a search nothing
then another and a definitions update
then another and SP1

[Recursion]

not under my themes :(((
nd vista is activated :DDDDDDddd

Maybe Ill get the vista you have.

Buy it, Home Premium is only £60 :/

[StefanCampbell]

he has vista ultimate, but his aero is disabled because he has pirated it lmao, anyway i like basic better, u get aero with it and can hack it without doing dodgey downloads, its all good. :)

[Antony]

My update came up straight away and is already on 27% - only opened it 1 min ago :o

[Jamesy]

non auto update version:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b0c7136d-5ebb-413b-89c9-cb3d06d12674&DisplayLang=en

434MB though :(

[Recursion]

I cant be assed to reboot tbh.

[Pyroka]

Well I installed SP1, and it's got a BIT of a difference... Nothing noticeable though. You MIGHT notice the speed, since I have. Loading documents doesn't take years now.

[You]

I haven't noticed anything, speed still seems the same for me, reasonably quick!

[Pyroka]

Meh, it's sped up for me. My document loadtimes are helluvalot faster. Though, my Sidebar has vanished... lol

[You]

What RAM you got?

[HotelUser]

This was supposed to be released ages ago as I believed.

Well they said XP wasn't good until SP1, perhaps they'll say the same about Vista? (I have never had a problem with my Vista)

Here's the update:
http://i31.tinypic.com/9tpbv8.jpg

It has been brought to attention by Microsoft that some programs may become incompatible with Windows Vista prior to installing Service Pack 1:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935796

[GhostFace-]

Thanks, ill tell my brother, he has vista on his laptop

[Greig,]

Took a little time downloading & installing... definitely a Speed Increase which is great! Weird when i re-booted it changed my screen resolution. :S in all very good.

[Shawnstra]

Don't get it :( I'll try tomorrow I guess

[Jordy]

I'm still not getting it this morning after numerous tries, the reason it probably isn't coming though is because some of my driver's aren't compatible with vista SP1 so I've got to wait I guess. Must be on about 30 tries now...


Windows Update will recognize PCs with known problematic drivers and postpone downloading Windows Vista SP1 until the PC has updated drivers or other applicable updates. Using Windows Update will help ensure you have the most trouble-free update experience possible.

[Jamesy]

I think maybe you have to uninstall the RC to get the update...

[:job2]

It does seem quite a lot faster actually. Also I just shut down my laptop and it was off within 5 seconds when it normaly takes about 8-10

[Jamesy]

I noticed that with the RC. Took a lot less time to start up. Except when I set the wrong partition active then I had to use the vista disc to set it back :eusa_whis

[Recursion]

I think maybe you have to uninstall the RC to get the update...

You do.

[Joe!]

It seems to have slowed down my computer. Maybe it will pick up after its been in use longer? Stupid vista.

[Recursion]

An OS can't be stupid :rolleyes:

My PC actually loads up a lot quicker now, thank god for an official SP1! LOL

[lew!]

ive got it first time, I got an error 80070BC9..

[Mentor]

Ive noticed the O/S become somewhat speedier post-update so im happy. Less lagging around the edges

[Jamesy]

still not picking it up :P

[Pyroka]

[Mentor]

still not picking it up :P

If you've installed all other updates (usually needed before it will appear) its likely you've just been black listed.
Basically that means your computers using some components which have yet to get sp1 compatible drivers released for them (creative stuff often fits that description)
So MS are holding off on providing you the update until they appear, thus allowing you to avoid having your pc buggered by badly written drivers.

[Metric1]

What does it do?!

[lScottl]

Cool. My sister will probably wait until it comes through the Windows Update automaticly before she upgrades.

[Recursion]

IF YOU DO NOT GET IT it is because Windows Update checks your system to see if ALL drivers are compatible with SP1. If it isn't and it doesn't come through to you, try and update all of your drivers.

Well to hell with that, my pc takes about 3 minutes longer to bloody boot up without sp1.

I'm downloading the non update version and to hell with the consequences.

[Recursion]

so either 3 minute boot up then fine, or a PC with no sound at all or someting? :|

[Jamesy]

All works :)

and I am probably going to reformat during the hols at some point anyway.

[---MAD---]

Came up first time for me - downloading it atm :).

[Jamesy]

Unlike the RC I didn't get a BSOD when configuring updates at the end :)

[Judge Judy]

Picked it up first time and updated :)

I think I can notice boot up is faste, go through Windows Explorer is quicker for me also.

[Technologic]

It's still nto showing for me on updates "/

[Jamesy]

use the link in one of my posts.

434 mb though.

[Jamesy]

oo I can try IE8

edit:

what?! Not bloody supported?! **** YOU IE8

[Pyroka]

LOL AT JAMESY, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Just get Firefox, you uneducated child!

[---MAD---]

Vista SP1 installed without a hitch. No problems experianced so far :).

[Firehorse]

I've been checking for updates over and over since this thread was started. Still nothing :(

[StefanCampbell]

SP1 has seriously made my startup and windows exploring a hell of alot faster.

[Technologic]

Hopefully Sp1 will sort of my start up problem. It's a long shot but it might help

[Jamesy]

LOL AT JAMESY, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Just get Firefox, you uneducated child!

You're calling me uneducated :rolleyes:

Of course I have firefox, it's in many of the screenshots I take due to the imageshack toolbar.

I want to try out IE8 to see just how bad it is.

[Andys]

Hmm, I've just installed SP1 and restarted and now I can't boot my pc?

It says I need to insert the disc and repair it, but my disc is in the loft which I can't get in untill my dad gets back from work lol.

I really do hope my pc doesn't break because of this, as I'll loose 1800 songs >.>

[StefanCampbell]

you won't, SP1 probably mucked up somewhere along the line and just needs the disc to replace some system files, it should be fine.

[Firehorse]

I keep like 3 backups all the time. You should really think of these things. I'm sure you won't lose them though.

[Technologic]

FINALLY. I see it on updates after installing other updates :D Downloading now

[Technologic]

Ooo. Pc running faster, boots up quicker, my CPU has stopped going hawwire each time i boot up. And for some reason when i view system information it doesn't say RAM: 2048mb anymore it says 2.00GB

[Rix]

I might actually install my version of vista tomorrow then:P it was just 2 slow b4 that

[Firehorse]

Microsoft are saying wait until mid april to get it. For those people who want to take a little risk if it's not showing up in the updates center then you can download it at microsoft.com in the downloads section. It's made my computer considerably faster although it only starts speeding up after a couple of restarts.

[GommeInc]

I've installed it. My RAM was 63% before, now it's 53%. Doesn't really mean a whole lot though.

[Judge Judy]

Has anyone noticed the slide shows for images has updated

[Robbie]

I've just installed this and I've DEFINTELY noticed an improvement! Good work for once, Microsoft

[blanky12!]

I've just installed this and I've DEFINTELY noticed an improvement! Good work for once, Microsoft
I can run Vista on my 512mb ram :D

edit: Vista's no longer a resoruce hog!

[Zaub]

The Service Pack hasn't even come up on my Windows Update yet..

[Galaxay]

Manually install it then.

[Zaub]

Manually install it then.

Na I'd rather wait for the 66MB update rather than the 400MB one.

[GommeInc]

Isn't that Service Pack 1 then? I swear it was 66MB-100MB

[Robbie]

Didn't come up on my WU so I did the manual download from Microsoft.com, about 400mb

Things to know before you download Windows Vista SP1

Published: March 18, 2008

Windows Vista SP1 is available in English, French, German, Spanish, and Japanese. Other languages will be made available soon.
Microsoft strongly recommends using Windows Update (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) to download and install Windows Vista SP1 on single PCs:
The download size from Windows Update of Windows Vista SP1 for x86 is 65 MB (compared to 450 MB from the Microsoft Download Center).
The download size from Windows Update of Windows Vista SP1 for x64 is 125 MB (compared to 745 MB from the Microsoft Download Center).
Windows Update will recognize PCs with known problematic drivers and postpone downloading Windows Vista SP1 until the PC has updated drivers or other applicable updates. Using Windows Update will help ensure you have the most trouble-free update experience possible.
Some Windows Vista users may encounter an issue with a small set of hardware devices that may not function properly after updating a Windows Vista PC to Windows Vista SP1. This is an issue with the way the device drivers were re-installed during the Windows Vista SP1 update process, not with the drivers themselves—these drivers worked on Windows Vista RTM and they work on Windows Vista SP1. This problem is typically corrected by simply uninstalling and reinstalling the driver. We are working with the manufacturers of these devices to get the known problematic drivers and their install programs updated, and also on other solutions we can use to ensure a smooth customer experience when updating to Windows Vista SP1 using Windows Update. For new PCs provisioned with Windows Vista SP1, this is not an issue.
If you choose to install Windows Vista SP1 via the standalone installer available on the Microsoft Download Center, Microsoft advises that you first visit Windows Update and install all optional drivers. Read Knowledge Base Articles 948187 (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=948187) and 948343 (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=948343#method5) for more information.
If you have a prior version of the Windows Vista SP1 beta installed, you must uninstall it prior to installing the final version. Use the Control Panel applet "Programs and Features" and select "View installed updates" from the top left of the task pane. Under Windows, look for "Service Pack for Windows (KB936330 (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=936330)).
Just so you know xD
