Nice work MS, thanks for making it absolutely clear that we are to insert the DVD into our computer. :rofl: But it is the automated installer, so maybe some people thought the disc was supposed to jump into the machine?
I installed it, CRYSIS got a huge boost, much smoother now.
Seriously? :confused: that would be good news.Quote:

man, i hope sp1 is as good as people claim it to be:shocked:
edit: by the look of it, this build is .17028.. i'm gonna have to wait for official :(
edit 2: nvm. found out how to turn it .18 :D
If you’ve got Refresh 2, You’ve got RTM
http://www.geeksanatomy.com/2008/02/...youve-got-rtm/
For those that don't know, you can get SP1 refresh 2 through windows update... read here http://www.ghacks.net/2008/01/25/win...resh-2-is-out/
You don't end up with a watermark on your desktop.
You don't need to re-activate windows.
There is no time limit.
It appears to me it's RTM, see picture
https://publish.comcast.net/rpath/UD...TZZ_PvqJqm7jA/
Anyone who gets their windows service pack update off pirate bay is a moron.
No major issues here with Vista, gonna wait for the official final SP1.
an issue i just ran into, seems like CRYSIS and NFS PS freeze after about 10 mins of gaming, never did before SP1, can anyone else confirm this is from SP1????
I had that problem for a week or so - turned out to be the Nvidia drivers - I updated to the latest betas and the freezing went away.
which beta are you using, i tried 171.16, those sucked hard, and the freezing happens with 169.28 as well...........which ones are you using???? thanks.Quote:

And I just noticed an oddity. I never hit F8 to disable driver signature enforcement when I just restarted a few moments ago. So either one of two things. It is now able to be disabled again and no more F8 afterwards or RivaTuner acquired signed drivers which I don't think they did. When I installed Riva it asked if I wanted to disable enforcement.
I can't think of any other x64 apps that need signed drivers at the moment though to further try it.
Worked like a charm, d/l SP1 right now, 12% complete.Quote:

Ah...no. Longhorn was the codename for Vista. Or, technically I believe it was the codename for the kernel that is now in Vista and Server 2008.Quote:

See?

ok so SP 1 is causing freezing in crysis and NFS PS, have tried all the newest drivers from 169.25/28/32/38 to 171.16, can someone run crysis for 30 mins to an hour without freezing, this might be an SLI issue with SP1???? someone test when you get a chance.

anyone notuced any major differences between the preview builds and the final? I have v668 from windows update. I had a wierd black screen issue exiting games, with dual monitors I think it was more of an nvidia issue. There was a evr ffdshow issue too.
There isn't any major user-side noticeable performance gains. Maybe 1-2 FPS in games at most.Quote:

Right build # but not RTM

I have the same version that you do. I looked in the registry and it says RTM.
So I presume it's the real deal.

No problems here with crysis and Omega 169.25 on a single gtx 1920x1080. I played for about two hours last night.Quote:

Tossing up wether i download now or just wait. Is there any real performance gains?
The thing i most look forward to is to see file copy performance fixed. Some files (2mb and even 348kb (!)) take forever to finish calculating time.
if you weren't using the sp1 rcs you'll see quiet a boostQuote:

guess i'll just wait it out and do one clean sp1 install when it comes outQuote:

I Think ill wait till late feb to get it on real launch..I just put refresh 1 on less then 2 weeks ago...to much hassle for little diffrence. Everything is fine with .744
;) just let me know if it worked out fine for you :PQuote:

just read somewhere the real RTM is
6001.18000.080126-2040
not 1800 at end
Ack, I had this exact same issue. I run 3 Monitors, a release candidate of SP1 that MS released in January (Think about Jan12) and when entering games sometimes it would cause ALL 3 monitors to go blank and only the mouse pointer was displayed.Quote:

That was running 8800GTX on 169.25 WHQL Drivers. I have since uninstalled SP1 RC, and no longer have the problem.
It worked perfectly, RAM usage is down (4GB available, Previously used 1.5GB IDLE, Now 1GB IDLE), but so far startup is way longer. I have only been on it now for 5 minutes and a couple restarts to verify long start time.Quote:

First was the performance of crysis in DX10 (nVidia 8800GT @ 171.16 BETA drivers) and tried both with exact same settings. DX10 Veryhigh with same drivers and same clocks on everything. Run without SP1 gave me 18.01 as highest FPS and with the SP1 it gave me 17.92FPS, so i woudln't exactly call that an improvement.
Next thing was the extremely annoying stuttering of audio sound whenever you were using your network (aka downloading :)) and that has not dissappeared, it just became slightly less...
Just wanted to let you guys know!
Edit: just noticed the memory usage went down with about 300Mb, from 1.8GB idle, to about 1.5GB idle, which i don't really care about, since i'm using 4Gigs
More info confirming refresh 2 IS RTM.
http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1165&tag=nl.e622
well I got the final installed it took longer then I expected and hung in the process but at least it finished. Hopefully after a few days I may notice a difference from the rc preview.
Looks like the SP1 for Vista 64 bit is 20mb in total or something?
No, SP1 for Vista 64-biy is around 600-700MBQuote:

It really pissed me off having to wait for my PC to start... With SP1 installed my pc takes an additional 35 seconds to boot up.. 1!!?!?!?! WTF?
That tells windows to look for the pack, Its not the pack itself.Quote:

For me it was only ~140MB. That's Ultimate 64-bit.Quote:

WIC still takes a **** in Vista. Used to get literally twice that in XP.
Oh well, it'll be a long time before Vista really suits my fancy.
My update was 140MB too, it consisted of 3 parts according to windows when it came up on the reboot configuring windows screen.Quote:

yay.
Pleople who want a clean running system and full right to blame MS for some issue in Vista SP1, should format first and do a fresh install+SP1. Thats the only way to be sure all the acumulated garbage isn't reacting with the new SP1 install.
As I'm sure it does!
All I can say is that SP1 from WU runs smooth on my Vista Enterprise x64. Significantly faster file copy/move performance and feels a bit more responsive overall. No problems to report.
You can't really compare DX 9 (XP) vs DX 10 (vista). Or were you running both on dx 9? DX 10 seriously hurts performance for little gain in WIC.Quote:

I installed SP1 from a fresh install, everything appears to have gpne fine...i didn't install any drivers or anything else...one thing i noticed when i applied SP1 was that in Device Manager under USB devices, the hardware ID strings for the Intel ICH9 were listed, but no hardware ID strings for the X38 chipset....so i had to install the Intel Chipset Software Installation utility as per normal.
I didn't see any other major differences, the only thing that got downloaded through Windows Update was the latest definition for Windows Defender.
question. if I install service pack. will it overwrite all the hotfixes and just display SP1? or should I uninstall all the hotfixes, then apply SP1? I dont feel like blowing my system clean and starting over since I already did that earlier this month :|
Service Packs are always cumulative, they incorporate all previously released hotfixes and the functionality of previous service packs. So it should contain all the critical hotfixes you are thinking about uninstalling, but you don't need to do that - the old hotfixes are just part of the new EXEs and DLLs provided in the SP, and the existing equivalent fixes will be ignored. All they are are backup files for the unfixed EXE or DLL and registry entries so that you can easily uninstall them, which you'd likely never want to do with security fixes... :p:Quote:

For XP, RegCleaner 4.3 (freeware version) does this, I guess it might also work on Vista if you don't want to shell out for the commercial upgrade.
I am still using build 668 of SP1 which was released back before Christmas. Besides a few oddities it runs pretty well, I can only imagine this RTM is going to be just as good. I think I will format and put in SP1 RTM in the next few weeks so I can see how everything runs from scratch, and not after months of dirtying the OS from regular use/driver updates.
I noticed that there was no "SEARCH" option in the start menu along with "Recent items"
There is also no option to turn it on in Start menu-customise.
It is not that I miss it Vista search is way more crap to be anything useful.
