Draco-REX Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Do you know if I'm screwed if I update to SP1, as I'm running the Time Stopper crack (basically a program that stops the 30 day countdown, but does it via Vista, not the crappy BIOS changing ways of doing it). If I have another way around it (without a re-install), I'll go SP1 today. I would wait until there's a confirmed crack for SP1. I believe MS is going to leave that trick in Vista, BUT it'll run with some features shut off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Joe, Not sure on the crack man. The versio I have is an OEM copy that is always legit from a very large manufacturer. PM me if you want more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 That fucking update took two hours to install. It better be fixed, I don't think it took that long to do a fresh install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRN96WS6 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 The SP1 for vista does take a while I have it on my main work PC and I did it right when I was walking out the door for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 mine says service pack failed reverting changes. Do not turn off your PC. I so want a 24 inch iMac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 2 HOURS ? WTF It took maybe 10 minutes? 15 If I really stretch ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmrmnhrm Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I tend to think it's more a problem with the Logitech drivers... the camera didn't work with XP64 either, but everything else in the system (video, sound, TV tuner, scanner, 2x printers, etc) works fine in both versions, with or without PAE enabled. Only the cam has a problem. Yup... drivers FTL.... Went and de-installed everything this evening (somehow the blasted thing loaded both 32bit and 64bit drivers, then loaded the 32's), and between that cleansing and installing SP1, then installing only the 64's, the thing works properly now. Lesson learned? People can't write drivers for shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 oh yeah vista is awesome. The guy that pays for his OS can't install the fucking update. Tried twice now. says 100% completed of 3 out of 3 and then says it failed. Fuck ms. Piece of shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tshensley Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 It took about 10-15 mins to instal it on my laptop, but I didnt notice any performance gains from it. I would still prefer the performance of XP over Vista, but then again my laptop is still only onboard graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Stop whining and get to formatting. Fresh install then SP1 ! That is what I did, still getting shit to work, I'm pissed because I formatted and now I have to erase my iPhone and apple TV to sync it with the new iTunes then reload those things. Seriously I just need to bite the bullet and buy a iMac and a Time Capsule and never have to spend all day doing this shit ever again. So should I even try to get my Logitech Quick Cam Orbit (Web Cam) to work with this shit or just say forget it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Thought I'd share with all of the nerds that vista SP1 = Teh Roxors. (especially if you have ati cards (crossfire even better). The "beta 8.4s" aka 8.3 hotfix drivers + Vista SP2 = better than xp by a mile. And they even sped up disk throughput and various other tweaks. Patched vista runs like a raped ape now instead of a gimped pygmy goat. Thanks for the updates, I've been debating on loading VISTA on my laptop but after seeing that I needed 4gigs for my pc to run it at what I considered smooth I had held off. Time to patch I guesse.

Sure when you own no mac products, It's fucking tits if you own mac stuff, Why do you hate everything that actually is a quality product? I guess someone has to buy shit to keep competitors in business. iTunes is the largest distributer of music today, they just passed Walmart, movies are next.

I'm not talking about the iTunes store, I'm talking about the shitty software 2 - I'm not talking about how the software interacts with an OS (be it Windows, Mac based OS, Linux, etc.). I'm talking about how that crappy software actually interacts with the iPod, how you have to do stupid shit to d/l from your iPod onto the PC, etc. I hate using that software. I've never had any issues with iTunes under XP or Vista, other than the software itself blowing goats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
