Two-thumbs up to Microsoft for releasing Vista SP1...

I downloaded the 434Mb version for my Home Premium 32bit....

It took about 50 minutes to download and about 1 hour to install....

It went smooth as butter. After the restarts, my Vista is far more...

1. Responsive
2. No more Media Center crashes
3. Menus in Start Menu open up instantly


Problems? None for me so far... It was as good as I expected. Also, my resource monitor on my Windows Sidebar is pretty amazing... CPU #1 and CPU #2 always less than 10% while RAM is at 40%



Now must download for my Ultimate 64bit...


Before that, its time to apply this service pack on my dad's spanking new HP Pavilion tx1000...

Upgraded to SP1.. now Vista can see 4GB.

no its not, just open task manager and see, total the physical memory still stuck at 3325mb lol.

So is it recommended to install SP1?

yape very fast.. u use WU or standalone installer... i use WU... after WU finish download.. install in WU took about 3mins then it request u to restart... when u shuting down it will install 3 process (first 1 is longest, 2nd 1 very very fast and 3rd 1 is medium slow) ..overall took me ~10mins only...

below is the proof of compatible program (red box).... hehe.. wanted to open more but lazy already....

hmm mine finished as planned.. seems everything goes fine
tested with my previous codec, seems working.. wmp also working fb2k etc..

just noticed...w.u stated that my Service Pack 1 installation as "Failed"

what am i supposed to notice after SP1 installation? feels like the same only...

ati catalyst control a bit unstable..

sleep mode.
multi monitor etc.

just update to SP1.....but cant see any noticeable improvement....

my sidebar still cant load certain gadgets properly especially those from hobbylounge

yeahh, i think so
i leave my pc idle & it turn off
when i resuming, it turn to Bsod suddenly..
aint try the ATi thinggy yet..

I wonder which one is correct..



71 MB or 427 MB? o.O

All systems green on my BenQ S41 so far.



At least i'm not having any RAM detection problems like kur0gan3.

Me downloading the 434MB one now in office, go back install it on my comp~

eh, whats the difference between the standalone and the WU? After installing its the same issit?

Standalone includes ALL the important bug fixes from before + SP1, while the Windows Update way will detect what patches you have already and then download only the ones that you don't have.

For those with software problems after installing SP1 why not do a clean install.

planning to do so although i've not yet install sp1 in my current system

At last....

why there is "Upgrade Windows Vista" wording on some screenie as shown by some members here?

i dont have the wording.. -.-

Thats because people who use Windows Ultimate is the highest end level of all the microsoft OS. So they're only expecting you to upgrade to ultimate only, where as those users who use a windows OS below leve of ultimate, can still upgrade to Ultimate (or to business or other editions) can do it.

They changed the way Remote Desktop works. Now more secure and you can block what remote desktop can or cannot do like copying something to and from the clipboard from both PC

It become like this. I like the old one more...

Updated mine yesterday nite..so far so good..but it did mess up mine old Prodigy 7.1LT setting. After reinstall the driver, work like charm..
Highly recommend to all!!

the most obvious improvement is control panel, used to take quite long to load up all the icon in it, after sp 1, its just took a blink of an eye 0-0

when i use the windows update to check for the service pack 1 update

didn't show any new update....

should i download 434MB service pack 1 file or just wait for windows update version ?

check for update. cause i already update =x last night auto updated =.= xD

Now I realize, it took time to load Windows Photo Gallery. And much slower startup time...

OMG, the 434MB one is only for 32 bit system, for mine which is 64bit, the service pack is 768MB !!!

I tried to use the windoes update and click check for update, it dint show anything (T.T)

PC ko tu mmg banyak problem lol

hahaha......awat hang kutuk dia? PC dia tu cangih nor..

Ceh .

Neway, the other thing I discover is

1. A noticeable faster copy/cut paste speed, but I prefer using 3rd party software like TeraCopy more.

2. The deleting speed doesn't improved at all.

3. I got a short delay whether I open up Computer.

4. UAC pop up faster.

5. Slower shutting down speed. WTF?


I think I need to fresh install my Vista back and update everything before I start installing application and games.

PS : Hey, my 200th post!

Better that way actually. I'm waiting for a standalone Vista SP1 installer to try out.

i can download the OEM installer (vista+SP1) if you want, but the speed was soooooooo slow that I stopped the download T.T
tell you what, I download this and you send me the ISO for EVA :awe:

Added on March 20, 2008, 8:10 pmTeracopy is gay. I found that it copies more slowly the more high end the PC is. And heck. Vista is better as it don't use disk cache but instead direct IO for copying. Slower yes, but there will be no corrupted files

Lawl, where you downloading the OEM installer from? Torrent or MS website?

Upgraded using the standalone. Everything seems fine except battlefield 2, kept crashing mid-game, till i re-installed the drivers for my 8800gts. All's good now.

MS website. You have to become an OEM partner with them (I registered under my varsity's name) and get the link from easyzudin's post. But they won't let you use direct download, which is gay as I can use direct download on beta testing page. But there are no ISO for beta testers T.T

Well, server getting hammered now probably. Just try later or we can always get help from The Pirate Bay.

Installed it on my office computer..

Here's what I noticed:-
1) Network speed seems faster (Transferring file over network)
2) Startup and shutdown also faster

So, is it worth to upgrade to SP1 now? Or keep with the non-SP1 version and wait for further feedback of SP1? Coz I think I'm going to install my Vista back, or might wait for XP SP3 release...

Mine faster a lot than b4...

install this sp1 one month ago...
got a lot of improvemnet

Guys little bit help please, after finished download this big fat 746MB SP1 for 64bit based system, when install it show this:

[attachmentid=421944]

I strongly suspect this is due to I did install Chinese language pack in my comp, do I need to uninstall it first, if so, how do I do it?

Plz help~~

150% worth downloading Vista SP1.


Here are more of what I noticed after SP1 on my notebook Home Premium :


- games tend to load faster (strangely) (e.g. NFS Underground 2)
- faster UAC screen (which is great)
- pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del instantly pops-up the menu (no lag at all!!)
- faster copy / paste / data transferring, two and fro hard disk, hard disk to thumb drive, vice versa

- [my notebook oddity] - - when I hover my mouse over the round Start button, to the left of the bar holding it, the transparency would flicker once (Aero becomes a little darker). Now... NO MORE !!!

- found that most programs start-up faster, though very little improvement

- Aero interface is SMOOOTH...

- Control Panel loads up quickly (especially Uninstall option, where the tiny icons pop-up instantly, no lag !)


One of my the issues I had with Vista is start-up time. The Sidebar would take ages to load (everything else already load...). Now, it appears instantly with my Welcome Center window.



Only now I have the time to install Vista SP1 on my dad's new pavilion laptop...

Microsoft. You have done it..... At this moment.
