Thanks for the link. It took about 30 minutes to download but it worked and everything is stable so far. After the last boot i got a popup saying that i needed to reinstall Soundmax drivers and after some Googling i will. Sounds plays fine though on dvd's, video and audio files. No complaints here. :party:

Thanks for the heads up on the SP1. My question to you all is, I have Vista Business, 32Bit., in Finnish. I see Finnish is not listed in the 5 languages available in the download. Will it be worth me downloading, or not?

Thanks in advance

imply be becuase they don't want 5 billion people updating at the same time? I think my set up checks for updates once a day. So if everyone comes home from work, boots up the machine do you know how many 6pm downloads would be popping off? I think its more of a staggering effect. Going to use the link now but if its big that backs into my theory of a staggered update. Plus it gives M$ time to respond to any issues.

Thank you thank you thank you! The e-mail notification was greatly appreciated and so was the patch.

After about 2 and 1/2 hours of installing I experimentally tried loading a couple of .NET based applications that were failing to start because they weren't entirely compatible with the x64 version of .NET, it was likely a flaw in .NET.

Now they work! Haven't used it enough yet to notice what else they changed, guess I should read the documentation.

I've been running SP1 for about a month already and it is an improvement :cool:
What is the difference between this one and the one released the first week in Feb? I noticed the file size is not the same. :geek:
