Re: WIndows Vista SP1
open my computer. Press help and about windows. If sp1 isn't there anywhere it isn't installed.
SP1 has not been released to users, but has been released to manufacturers so I don't know if they are putting them on new machines yet.

Re: WIndows Vista SP1
As suspected I need to uninstall my beta sp1 to install the proper one. Except it won't let me.
Ah well, reinstalling vista next week then

Re: WIndows Vista SP1
I cannot even see the uninstall for the rc1 beta version. Hope when I come to install sp1 that it automatically uninstalls first

Never really had a problem with start up. My machine was never that quick due to finding the multitude of hard discs and raid controllers initialising so the difference would be slight if anything

Re: WIndows Vista SP1
So far all I've noticed is that doing a tracert in Sam Spade now shows all the hops, not just the last one & an external USB2 disk caddy which didn't work before, now does.
- I'm happy so far ...

Re: WIndows Vista SP1
There is one, and only one, thing I want to know before I install the damn thing: does it fix that stupid problem re disappearing DVD/CD drives?!
