WIndows Vista SP1
 

Hi All

Has this been relesed yet? Just got a new lappy and am not sure if it is installed !!!

How can i check?

Cheers

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.

It's released on Tuesday via windows update according to Neowin

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
 

They always said you have to uninstall the betas. It should allow you to whats it saying?

64 bit sp1 installed hassle free here :)

Re: WIndows Vista SP1
 

The uninstall option is greyed out.

Re: WIndows Vista SP1
 

Does it fix any of the issues like slow startup and the like?

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

Re: WIndows Vista SP1
 

Mine would allow me to uninstall full sp1 lol imo installing sp1 beta was always a bad idea

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

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 ...
