Re: [Vista] Vista SP1 RTM on Monday, February 4th ????
I don't have a folder by that name on either machine anywhere on the C: drive.
I don't know if I would delete it right off. zip it up delete everything in the folder except for the zip/rar file reboot and see if it bitches. If not run Jv16 and it should delete any references to the now empty folder (except for the zip/rar file). |

Irish,
Did you ever delete the folder VistaSP1?
Just curious how that went for you.

Has anyone noticed any significant improvements in SP1?
For me it has been pretty "ho-hum". I haven't stumbled on anything yet that I would go "holy Cow" that is fantastic.
Actually I haven't notice anything that seems different good or bad.
I am about as excited with SP1 as I was when I first installed Vista Ultimate and needless to say excitement was not among any of the expletives that were running thru my mind.  |

The biggest improvements I have seen are that my laptop wakes from sleep mode faster; and if you have UAC control on for security, you get less "ok to proceed" prompts to get a new application installed and running

1 edit | TK,
Well so far so good. I wouldn't have noticed either of the ones you mention.
Sleep mode: I have such a bad taste in my mouth from previous OS versions that I don't even attempt to use "Sleep Mode" any more.
And the UAC I found so obnoxious that I used TweakUAC early on to put that puppy in what TweakUAC calls quiet mode. What a God send that was. It even received usage recommendations form Microsoft.
OK who's next to step up and tell us something exciting - OK it doesn't have to be exciting just some improvement like waking up from sleep mode - which is a very good thing. |

| Probably the steady climb up to perfect 10's now on the Performance and Reliability monitor. I've not had an application hang or crash since I installed it. The system runs smooth as glass.

| BillRoland,
"Performance and Reliability" - Well so far I think I would have to go along with that one.
No crashes or unexpected mayhem on my system either (Knock on wood).
God I hope I don't jinx myself with the above claim. |

I was able to get my hands on a DVD image of Vista including SP1 and do a clean install. No faster way to install a Service Pack (although re-installing all my stuff took some time).

| Decided to uninstall SP1. That was fine. But I could not delete the two KB updates, so I just started at the beginning of the scripts.
How long does the Part 1 take to load? KB938371.
This thing has been going for 2.5 hours.

Howie: Did you have a problem justifying a whole new install? The service pack probably takes a little longer than the full install (ironic, huh?) but re-customizing your system had to take ions.

| Yeah, I probably just wasted my time doing it this way but I wanted to make sure the freshly burned Vista SP1 DVD was OK.
I don't recommend it for everyone, though, as re-installing 20GB worth of programs takes a lot of time. It is ironic that the SP1-only install takes 40 minutes or more compared to about 25 when installed along with the OS. Go figure...
