Memory voltage I had a very similar situation in Vista x86. I decided to add 4 gigs of memory to my 2 gig machine. I was going to take advantage of 64 bit when Win 7 became available so I thought this $30 upgrade was a good one. Not so! I have a Dell Inspiron desktop. It's been a very...

Has anyone switched out the motherboard? I did not see that step in the OP message. The slot for the WLAN card could be damaged or underpowered due to a fault on the MOBO. I have seen a case recently where a starved MOBO has funky issues like USB dying and peripherals dying due to the power...

Also check task manager and do a Google on all processes that you don't know anything about. I found a redirector at a client site that way. ProcView might also help as it breaks out the svchost entries.

What really amazes me is how short the general public's memory is. I have used Windows since version 3.0. EVERY SINGLE VERSION HAS HAD DEPLOYMENT ISSUES!!! XP, 2000, 95 (and 98/Millenium iterations), 3.11, 3.1, and 3.0 had driver issues galore upon release. I spent 20 hours on a 95 machine...

And not a moment too soon, too. The difference isn't amazing, it's subtle. However, the subtle fixes have truly made this a great OS. THIS is what Microsoft should have release last year! 6 Machines on SP1 and counting!! All running PERFECT!

Great idea! Will check this evening when I get home. Glad to have so many confirmations. I feel better about loading it now. The main reason I am so hot to get this is that my niece wants Vista loaded on her laptop. She leaves to go back to California on Sunday. I want SP1 on there...

Well, Mr. Kemical...I am your man. I have a ATI 3870 DX10.1 vid card in my desktop. I'll run the upgrade tonight when I get home from work and post a DXDiag screenie so everyone can see what I get on that particular card. I agree with your assessment of the SP. I value your opinion and...

So, Kem? What's your take on the version reported here? Based on the great info below, are we getting the RTM? My install went smooth. There are no eval numbers on the desktop. I did not have time to check everything. I did notice one quirk. My Dell 1520 Laptop now suffers a bit on the...

Thanks, Kem. I appreciate the info. For those needing SP1, grab a newsreader such as Newsleecher and grab it from alt.binaries.warez.ibm-pc.ms-beta. It appears to be the official release. You may need a subscription to Giganews but you should have a decent news server anyway, right? Give...

Can anyone tell me what the filenames are for the official SP1 RTMs?
