Vista - Post the changes you notice after installing Vista SP2

I just installed it today, as it came up on my Windows Update notification window. Took me like 3 hours to download it (their servers must have been jammed this morning) but it installed in about 20 min. and without incident.

Now I'm wondering, What will it do? (Not what it is SUPPOSED to do, but what it WILL do!)

Please post any changes you notice here. I look forward to seeing what problems it fixes and what problems it causes. Maybe by posting problems you encounter you can help prevent someone else from encountering them. (Things like new drivers needed or ?)

I little slower bootup, seems to be getting faster though. It might have cleared the Prefetch data. Way faster shutdown. After Install compatibility for E8 came up. That's about it for me.

Sp2 was bad.First,it failed to install my sigma tel high definition codec.Then a message pops up and say output sound device is not installed.

A little slow on the download from Windows Update but I had the whole thing downloaded and installed in about 30 minutes without a glitch. 'Restart' now loads Vista in 49 seconds.

Yeah mine seems to be getting better.

I just tried to download SP2 and my laptop just locked up and did nothing. The download took 64 min. and there was no problem, but when it went to the second phase of updating programs it ran for 5 min then stopped updating.
Anyone else have this problem???

My laptop is a HP dv7-1242cl x64 and connected to a ATT USB 3G Mercury 885 adapter.

Thanks

Except for my external USB hard drive (NTFS) Vista detected my Cruzer thumb drives and an older Iomega zip drive as new hardware and asked to find drivers. They seem to be working fine now, though.

It fixed my Folder View problem, or at least it appears to have done so.
It used to be that if I set my Music folders to show details and selected details like bit rate and date modified and so on, it would then forget those details at each restart.

Now it seems to be remembering them! I PRAY this is true and that it lasts!

My start up now seems to be faster. I've never measured it but I'd be willing to bet it's at least 5-10 seconds faster. The same with shut downs.

I have so far (KNOCK ON WOOD THREE TIMES ! ! ! ) experienced no problems from the SP2 Install.

Looking at the reliablity and Performance Monitor I can see what SP2 installed and it looks like a lot of drivers and most of the Version's are the same.

My updater is working it as i speak I hope it works fine GL everyone! But i wanna get Windows 7 Anyway ^^ It looks... AMAZINNNNG!!!!!!! Booh yah!!
