There, that should be a sufficiently ominous subject line to
get your attention...

If you're running WinVista on anything, under NO circumstances
should you install (or allow it to be installed, via automatic
update) Vista Service Pack 1, just released this morning.

I'm typing this from my laptop, which now works properly, as it
did before installing Vista SP1... had to run System Restore to
get it there, since hardly anything worked after SP1 installed,
but you get the drift.

Peace-out, happy recording.

Neil

Hmmm... No problems here as far with Vista SP1. Havn't tested it so much
since I for the most using WinXP, where I also have installed SP3 on 5
partitions on 2 machines here, after tested it on one partition. The only
problem I can see is with Wavelab Essentials/Adobe Audition, last versions,
where I cannot burn audio CD's. Going to another partion and using Nero,
there's no problems burning the same songs.

I haven't completely/methodically tested out my Quad Core 6600, but I did
System Restore then installed XP SP3, All seems to be fine here on it. I
haven't noted any jump in CPU usage or anything funny that's obvious.

I have fired up several audio and video apps, done print jobs.. nothing
broken as of yet and it actually fixed a strange power saving issue I had
where the second monitor wouldn't wake up w/o a reboot. So far, so good.
Unfortunately, it didn't fix the sync lock problem on monitor 2, and I'm
probably going to have to replace the crappy onboard video with a real PCIe
card video out.
It is 'not' my Paris machine however. There is absolutely nothing about XP
SP2 or SP3 that Paris needs. I don't 'net on Paris. Anyone using their
Paris machine to surf is asking for it and no amount of SPx is gonna save
from the inevitable bad luck.

This is by no means a resounding Microsoft is Great! Microsoft is Perfect!
Install it! It just so happens that it's worked out here on this particular
box well for me. I wouldn't, historically viewing, say that installing it to
an older machine would be a good idea. MS has had a history of that kind of
thing working, but never quite right IME.

No problems here with either. Running Vista at home with the latest SP just
fine. As far as XP SP3, I just pushed it to 600 of my machines here at the
office and the phones are quiet ... (fingers crossed) haha.
