Thanks to the guy who responded to me, sorry that I didn't get to see your comments sooner, as I lost the website address, and I will say that yes, I removed the anti-virus software, plus the SpyBot and SpywareBlaster software, and had turned the firewall off, etc...I also have already Right-clicked on something in WIN-Vista, then have chosen to run the file as an administrator, etc. One problem that in my personal opinion, that I see, is that the operating systems are coming out too quickly, so quickly that half of my hardware won't work because there aren't any WIN-Vista drivers for the hardware, and I'm certainly not going to buy new hardware, that's only a couple of years old, but I will also say that I have been using OpenSUSE Linux since April, but just last week I decided to use the Recovery disks to put WIN-Vista Premium Home Edition back unto the Compaq Presario. Last week, after a few automatic updates within a few days, SP1 came through, it installed, and again the computer won't start. Well, actually the computer starts but Windows does not, and restore won't work, and when I use the fix startup problems automatically, it says that all tests passes and the only notation is that the upgrade was causing the problem, so I have recovered the computer the third time in a week, have reinstalled everything and have restored the files from a backup copy. I have also unchecked the box in the SP1 update, so it won't run, and have placed it into the hidden updates area so that it won't run as it still causes a startup problem for me.

October 16, 2008 Vista update totally crashed my Toshiba laptop. Hours to load and screen froze at Step 3. Toshiba now in shop. Could not restore. My bill is $150. Hmmm... And what is Bill Gates' address?

I built a new Vista Ultimate x64 machine at the beginning of 2007. I recently formatted and rebuilt it to try and resolve problems with a fresh, clean install.

- 64bit Core2 Duo 2.67GHz

- <strike>P5N32-SLI WiFi Premium</strike> P5NE-SLI (downgrade replacement)

- <strike>HiPer 730W</strike> ThermalTake 850W (upgrade replacement)

- 4x 1Gb 800Mhz DDR2

- 2x nVidia 8800GTS

- 3x ViewSonic VP2030b LCD

From day one, I have had phenomenal hassle and frustration getting all three monitors to run at 1600x1200. Typically it would take 6 or 7 resets before the machine would use all 3 monitors, or I would have to reset the Display Properties manually. I have had to do this on a daily basis - it has cost me one motherboard and one power supply so far.

I have persisted for 18 months now, hoping that the updates from the software and hardware companies would improve things, and to be fair, for a while, they did. In fact, just last week, this machine was working beautifully and I was getting all 3 monitors at full res on the very first boot. It was a golden age.

But recently, and specifically following SP1, I have had no end of pure frustration and despair. My third monitor has been black for days now, none of the usual fixes has worked, the hardware detected sound ding-dongs repeatedly (presumably trying to find the hardware), multiple instances of rundll32.exe are spawned (often more than 100!) processor usage maxes out and the machine chugs along and becomes unusable. It takes hours for this to abate until I can use the computer, and I dare not use Device Manager to find the missing third monitor, or change the Desktop Display Properties, as this triggers another orgy of rundll32.exe processes which bog the machine down for another hour or more!

This is completely insane and I for one (of the apparent many it would seem) have had a guts full of this rubbish and will be rebuilding and formatting this machine to remove Vista forever.

It's enough to make one go and buy a Mac.

Still no European DVB-C Support in Media Center?!?!? That's poor! The implementation to support BDA-Driver DVB-C or DVB-S cards from Microsoft is YEARS behind!

When will they finally be supported with full HD capacities, AC3, and all that comes with it???

Nick or Brandon, my system just re-booted and Vafter Vista restarted, an error from Microsoft advising me that Intel Turbo Memory needs to be installed. Microsoft took me to this site and installed it. I have 4GB of memory installed. Is this Intel Turbo Memory related with what my system has. I have a Dell XPS 410/RAID 0/2.4 DUO Core. My network adapter is Intel. Do you think the Intel Turbo Memory is link to my network adapter. Please advise. Your help is greatly apreciated..James

Tried to install SP1 on my HP Pavilion yesterday through Windows Update. It took a long time to get as far as step 3 then sat on 0% for a couple of hours doing nothing.

I forced a reboot by disconnecting the power and booted into safe mode. The install continued in safe mode and after a couple of hours step 3 completed but gave me the error that installation had failed and was reverting, which took another hour or so.

Later in the day I tried again, only this time I disabled Norton anti-virus software permanently before install. SP1 installed with no problems in about 25 minutes. I re-enabled Norton and as far as I can tell all hardware and programs are working correctly.

I recently built a new system and installed Vista X64 Ultimate. Installed SP1 through Windows Updates and initially everything appeared fine...until I tried to introduce some "new" USB devices...my printer being the most crucial.

After some research I found others were having the problem. I tried uninstalling SP1 and it resolved all my problems EXCEPT for my USB printer. I went with the nuclear option and formatted and reinstalled and did NOT install SP1 this time.

I have not seen any new articles on this particular SP1 issue since about April 19th. Is there any new information regarding the USB issues with SP1 and it's prerequisite update? Will there be a fix soon. I do NOT intend to try installing SP1 until I know there is a definate fix for this one.

SP1 is now showing up in my Dell laptop's WindowsUpdate! I have hidden it until I see that it will no longer cause BSODs. It is no longer showing up on my 64 bit HP desktop (it has not been applied).

I did a restore to before the sp1 install. It didn't seem to help or maybe the damage has already been done.

Currently, I am getting random BSOD flashes with a restart going directly into chkdsk before windows comes up. Chkdsk is finding/fixing(?) several errors before continuing into windows.

I am guessing that my hard drive is somewhat trashed at this point since I can do nothing but boot windows and it will eventually reboot with several disk errors each time. Again, I am not sure this is a sp1 thing but I have ran vista for over a year with no problems. Suddenly now I have BSOD's, disk errors, and an unstable environment since the install of sp1.

Going to try the route of new drive, reinstall vista (no sp1), software install, and see what happens.

Aren't computers fun?!!! NOT!!! =)

I installed the vista(32) sp1 a few days ago. I started out fine, with some good speed increased overall. I had one or BSOD flashes followed by a quick reboot. Now I am getting BSOD's every hour or two. *sigh*

They flash so quickly that it is hard for me to tell what is going on. Sometimes I can't reboot with failed auto chkdsk's before entering windows. I have also repaired the windows install to get it back up and running. Confusing and frustrating, not sure if it is all the same as others have described above, but I just thought I would share my experience.

So is my best option to restore, reinstall, or reinstall but don't install sp1?
