SP1 on and running just fine here...I haven't had chance to test the boot-up/shutdown sequence yet, but I'm able to do everything just fine. DISK DEFRAGMENTOR IS BACK!!! YES!

Needs 3gb free on the Windows partititon to install, and my partition is pretty much full (on purpose, page file and all installed software on seperate partition). I can't extend the partition using one of my larger, emptier partition, and I can't select another drive to decompress to. Looks like I can't use this til next format

Thanks Microsoft.

When they say it will take an hour to install, they are not kidding. Got the laptop upgrading to Vista SP-1 and it has been 1 hour and 20 minutes and still installing. There are three main phases, seems like phase 3 is a BIG time killer. It has been stuck at 0% complete for 15 minutes now. Gonna leave it alone and let it do its thing. The laptop I am upgrading is less then one year old and I consider it high end. Hmmm. If you do not have a machine less than a year old, it could take longer?

Seems patience is the MAIN thing to have. Later ...

Laptops in general take longer than desktops...mostly due to CPU throttling and slower HDDs and FSBs.

Sorry it took so long I backup 18gigs of files to DVDs just encase something didn't work... But it does work well. I don't see a preformance increase yet but ..... I don't know I don't see any difference yet.:hmm: Took me an hour to install it.

My oldino PC specs.
Intel Pentium HD 3.2GHz 800Mhz E
Intel D865PERLX Socket mPGA478 mainboard
2Gigs of OCZ titanium Dual channel ram. PC3200
500Gigs HD SATA
XFX NVidia GeForce7600GT 256m
X-Fi Elite Pro Sound card
Antec True 480 powersupply

I'm hoping it fixes that blasted video crash and recovery error.

Lets see how some games work on it. Brb with the report and some photos
