i'm waiting for the SP1 slipstreamed discs to emerge

Lelisevis · Mar 18, 2008, 02:19 PM

bah, 15 minutes into the installation and I get an error - internal blah blah message. Looks to be quite common and their is a topic with resolutions on the MS Windows site. Can't be arsed at the moment, might have another try later.

So far so good..My os is running just as well as before.Maybe sightly more responsive..

A slipstreamed disc is floating around on the internet.
It was released to Technet and MSDN subscribers.

Er...

Probably wait for the official oem and retail copy for own hands

but thanks for the idea..

btw, just finished installing sp1 on this computer... and i must say... it only took about 10 minutes and volla..... rebooted with no issues.

pepiman · Mar 18, 2008, 04:28 PM

I'm taking precautions before installing SP1...

I got the same :P

i'm wondering if disables services and whatnot that come set by default to auto are causing peoples errors...

interesting

***temeteus82*** · Mar 18, 2008, 05:26 PM

my problem is solved need to do full reinstallation... had used vlite to tweak Vista and SP1 won't install because of my tweaks :P

Judas · Mar 18, 2008, 05:39 PM

Ding.... point for me....

ExitiosuS · Mar 18, 2008, 06:58 PM

Installed SP1 and everything's running great! Took me about 20 minutes, though... Restarted twice!

Now it actually shows, for aesthetic purposes, that I've got 4.0Gb of RAM in my system, woohoo! (only thing I've noticed so far, lol)

Anyway... I like it.

pepiman · Mar 18, 2008, 09:35 PM

vlite users were warned a few months ago about that issue ....

We are networking enterprise right now in our classrooms and upgrading our XP installations, SP1 will just have to wait for now, what is the biggest bang for the buck in terms of SP1 except bitlocker perhaps and some networking enhancements and maybe DX10 enhancements for developers, otherwise I just "yawn", will wait till we get it from our military sources.

Great, now I get the infamous: Code 80073712. Failed 1 update.

Slightly amused that they have given the error a code yet a search with microsoft reveals no solutions or topics. Now thats future proofing, creating error codes for errors that don't even exist yet. Who said microsoft aren't ahead of the game.

Luckily i'm switching to 64 bit from the 11th of April so I'm not even going to try and resolve this.

pepiman · Mar 19, 2008, 10:28 PM

well I dove right in .... Imaged my hard drive and installed SP1

started installing at 11:08pm
finished installing at 11:22pm

There was 1 reboot involved ...

Not noticing anything yet but hey, it's been like 5 minutes...

pepiman · Mar 19, 2008, 10:29 PM

oh, and I was a little annoyed with Vista 64 taking up 12 gigs of space before

SP1 just added 2.7 gigs...

Bevoo · Mar 20, 2008, 03:38 AM

I just installed SP1 and the first thing i noticed was that my ventrilo and itunes did not work. Ventrilo was simple, I just set my Input and Output device to my headphones like they should be. I cant get itunes to work though, its playing the music, but i cant hear it. Anyone have this problem?

pepiman · Mar 20, 2008, 11:52 AM

could be your sound drivers then if the music is "playing" but no sound is coming out

Vista + sound drivers = eesh...
Try getting a new version of the drivers

Bevoo · Mar 20, 2008, 02:18 PM

Thats what I thought the problem was. But my headsets have their own sound card (as in its outside the computer, using DSP card on my headphones), could that even be updated?

pepiman · Mar 20, 2008, 09:01 PM

maybe, maybe not
maybe M$ said "lolz we won't support that"

**dj_stick** · Mar 20, 2008, 10:28 PM

installed SP1 on my mac pro just now, no issues with Vista Home Premium 32bit

one big note however, pre-SP1 the system cp was showing i had 1.99gb of ram, after installation it shows the full 4gb - nice

Installed yesterday, had one issue with A BSOD in Medieval 2 Total War, reinstalling the new x-Fi drivers sorted it though...

pepiman · Mar 21, 2008, 07:55 PM

So far I've seen the following noticeable changes

- Ram is 4.00GB instead of 4094mb (whatever...)
- File transfer speed from drive to drive (including external USB solutions) is like 50% faster (I kid you not... I really don't see what was slowing things down before)
- Boot time increased by a good 12 seconds.
