Not really, I haven't really gotten any problems since I updated to SP1.


Agree on the bolded part.


Agree, everything has bugs, I use a MacBook and agree that Mac OS X has bugs.

All software we use have bugs! That says it all. There is no perfect software out there. If everything is perfect, software companies can close shop and programmers will be out of jobs as no new versions and updates will be released, since it's perfect.

I actually bought my new PC on the day Vista SP1 released, and didn't even realized until after i installed some required updates, Windows Update show me that SP1 is available, and I immediately download the full installer (5 language) so that I can also share the installer with friends.

Have been using SP1 for Vista since then and I can say, i did not face frequent problems, save for some occassional minor issues, well... like said, no software is free from bugs.

I downloaded and installed the SP1 (36 languages) been using it from it's release on Microsoft's Download website and haven't encountered any problems.

for u it might be suck but for some it aren't

Wow, what a huge following to this thread.

Just a word of advise, beta versions of any Windows SP release are not meant for PC end users, they're meant solely for developers. So update at your own discretion and as far as i'm concerned, Microsoft does not offer tech support for beta releases.

all service pack already reach final status, there isn't any beta left...

Hm.... I "feel" that only first few day after installed the SP1 my windows performance become fast, but after 1 week like back to normal already. (But the performance score did raise a bit)

Well, it is normal, but you can always do the usual housekeeping like cleaning off temporary files and ensure that your defrag is scheduled to run weekly.

Also try CCleaner software to clean all junks from the system.

Been using the SP1 update the day it was released. It feels faster and more stable, no more applications not hanging.

can give url for the Vista SP1 bootable dvd image download??

why don't you (me included ) use the search button?

i know that.. don't work for me.. it wouldn't download la.. Microsoft doesn't offer this download??

no, MS doesn't offer the ISO to non-subscriber, if you want the ISO from MS, subscribe to MSDN or TechNet AFAIK, they only offers Windows Server 2008 ISO image... try PM linkinstreet and ask him if the file is still there or not...

is it stable already the vista SP1 ?

yes it is stable, lots of improvements have been made to SP1, and I encouraged you to install the update

Hello.... thanks for the help guide about the vista service pack 1.........
unfortunately.... Why does my Download have an error when installing it...........
its about 800F< something like that)... error occurred..........
i try to installed it again.... but it seems still the same problem...........

my question is...
"what is the problem actually?"
"does it caused by the installer i downloads or the Service Pack 1 instabilities on Vista " ( This Service Pack is New Upgrade)



another things.....

its rumored that Windows XP 64bits cant support most of the software?
(Is it true)<-- my final solution to maximizes the usage of that 4G ram....
hope my problem solved......
thanks again guys

Hmm, not sure exactly what's your problem. Maybe a cleare description of the problem will let other help you.

If Windows XP 64bits don't support a particular software, there is a high chance that software won't run in Windows Vista x64 as well.

Yes, it is stable enough that Microsoft will release the retail packs for Vista including SP1 as well. Just like what they used to offer in retail packs for Windows XP SP2.

64 bit OS can emulate software in 32bit modes. But some might not work well. The real problems are drivers. Where 32bit vista can use 32bit XP drivers if there are no other drivers around, 64bit Vista and 64bit XP needs exclusively made drivers.

There isn't a lot of native 64-bit device driver available for XP and Vista. Also Vista 64-bit enforced that all device driver must be signed otherwise it can't load. That's the challenge most user faced when trying to move up to Vista 64-bit.

Vista 32-bit SP1 also have that signed driver enforcement what...

32bit can use WDDM unsigned driver while 64bit cannot la

that's for display only. if you're using the TCP/IP patch, you'll know what I mean...

Hmm, never heard of that. Do you have a link to site that state this is the case?

I only know Vista 64-bit had driver signing enforcement.

Thanx.

For the Service Pack 1.....
after i installed it......
why do i still cant utilize the usage of 4G ram?
the installation is successful... no problem occurred....
then why in my system windows didn't have title that say service pack was installed like most of other ppl that pinned on this forum?

is they anything that i can do to adjust or modified or anything i forgot to configure?

hope my problem is solve...
'thanks

A 64-bit version of Windows Vista must be used.

hmmm... weird, my friend install SP1 x86 and have the Service Pack 1 tag on his system dialog box. mine on x64 also got one...

Did you reboot after installation of SP1? If after reboot and you still don't see the "Service Pack 1" in Computer->Properties, you might not have install it correctly.

SP1 have some knowed compatibility with RealTek Soundcard Driver. Try read the Sp1 readme sometime. There are some more issue in it. Window Update will NOT update it if knowed issue appear in your PC. Make sure your PC doesnt have those issue then baru install it manualy.

well, no problem with Realtek HD audio here...

i already installed vista SP1.no more blue screen.so vista is oredy improved

installed SP1 yesterday.

i use 4gb ram.. previous vista just show 3.5gb but when i upgrade to sp1 it can show up to 4gb

dont know why explorer.exe use so many cpu usage (up to 100%) after upgrade during startup. Start decrease to normal after 2 or 3 minutes

anybody willing to post me a CD for SP1 update? I'm only on dial-up internet, cant download..

where do you live? if in my area, I can get one for you (full SP1 dvd)

i never saw blu screen since i use SP1 3 months ago. only some incompability with games. and the windows explorer too. overall very stable

If you are not using the RTM version of SP1, then you'll hit the expiry which cause BSOD as the pre-RTM version of SP1 expired on 30 June 2008.

got problem.. donno why suddently when each time i plug my thumb drive, windows can detect as new hardware but no usb mass storage driver load.. tried reinstall chipset driver but still cannot solve the problem..

any idea ?? this problem occur after i upgrade to sp1.. the problem also affect my huawei e220 usb maxis broadband modem

hey guys..where can i get the 64bits DVD for vista?

If you have a licensed copy of 32-bit DVD for Visa, call Microsoft to request a copy for 64-bit. Otherwise, get a retail pack of Vista Ultimate.

Even with the OEM copy tat comes wif lappy can request for tis?
Wat are the steps involved?

Yes, you can.

Why do this problem occurred when im installing vista service pack 1?
"unable to complete installation, windows is reverting the installation file, please do not turn off you computer"
i already doing this installation a few time..... i also try to installed the service pack after fresh installaion of my vista OS.
why do this problem occurred?

im using Z99Sseries ASUS laptop.

windows vista home premium.


im tired of trying already

why don't you get the Vista SP1 DVD? save you the hassles you may (and already) encountered when updating to SP1...

i got a problem wit "My document"...
install fresh Vista with sp1 to drive c, and change my document to drive D instead of C>users>my name >document.

i use this step. Start menu>documents(properties)>location tab>move>select my desired folder>apply>click transfer all...

after those steps, everiting files movement(download, send to documents, bla...bla...) still go to C:users, not to my selected folder...

why aaa?
this problem never happened to me back then,

FYI, i always cahnge my document folder to drive D, t never happend like this before...

Hmm... Guess there are still some problems with vista here and there even it's already sp1...

Oh lol, I can say the same of XP and service pack 3. So?

Hi guys!

Just a question. Is it advisable to update Vista to SP1 by using Windows Update or to download the file from microsoft directly?

I went to microsoft website and they strongly discourage to download the SP1 if I were to update only 1 PC?

Anyone can advice?

Edit : Also, if thru Windows Update, any workaround to enforce that my Windows are downloading SP1? I have updated my Windows when I did a fresh install, but I don't think my Windows Update did download SP1 as well when I went thru the list

the main difference between the 2 methods is the amount to be downloaded. SP1 is mainly made up of past patches and hotfixes for Vista.

So if u ve a machine with Vista installed, it doesn't matter as both method will still grab roughly the same amount of files.

But if ur Vista machine has already been running for a while, and u have done all the updates regularly, then going for the Windows Update is preferred as u will need to download what is needed.

the complete SP1 file from MS Download Center is 400+MB...

i realy love vista 64... it boost my pc performance greater than xp does... more secure environment with updates.. a say that u all should change to vista..

yeah..
Vista x64 much better..
