Takes about 30 minutes inclusive one long restart on my work computer and also a couple of test machines using WSUS. Seems to be okay, only need to repatch uxtheme files to use custom themes.

Now have to put the computer into some rigorous training to refill the prefetcher folder. The computer takes longer to boot after SP1 was installed.

Are you the one of the few people who has their memory count jacked up like the one below?

From your Task Manager screenshot, you have 2GB of memory, and 1.9GB of it is used (proved from the Memory meter and also 90% Physical Memory utilization). That is a high usage of resources. Unless of course there is a cosmetic error in Task Manager.

This Vista gadget?



It says you are using 1822MB out of 2045MB available. It did not contradict what the Task Manager says. The only problem here is why the meter indicator is so low even if 90% of your RAM is being used, which is why I asked whether your Vista SP1 System Properties shows the correct amount of RAM or not. Maybe you are the select few people who has their RAM count screwed up by SP1 upgrade.


Below is what mine has with the same gadget. The meter shows correctly unlike yours.
