AshMat Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 Ah good, i'll have my PC sorted Thursday, which is ok because i probably won't be home until then anyway.
AshMat Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 Just got my Vista sorted, after numerous error codes and trials, i managed to get it done through the automated phone service. So now i have my new keyboard, mouse and monitor all plugged in. And the monitor is FUCKING GORGEOUS, Pix soon.
Nintenchris Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 SP1 for Vista is on windows update... cant be arsed to do it now tho
Nintenchris Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 *Boots up Laptop* Tell me how it goes.. before i try it i wanna hear of your success
Caris Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 SP1 gets the Caris thumbs up. Everything seems more responsive. It also raised my desktop graphics rating from 3.1 to 3.3. Nice.
Calza Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Are you on intergrated graphics mate? Cause mine went up the same, and I'm not sure why I typed mate it does not usually appear in my vocabulary.
Caris Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 No worries mate. lol. Nah I'm on a laptop i have a 8400m G graphics chip, pretty poor to be honest. I'm notcing more and more little changes here and there, Vista definalty seems alot better. Now no one has an excuse to stay on XP.
triforce_keeper Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Whats the update called? Dunno whether it's installed or not...because I'm not finding any new ones :S
Guest Stefkov Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 service pack 1 it should be called, just go on widows update and itll be there
triforce_keeper Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 service pack 1 it should be called, just go on widows update and itll be there =/ It's not showing up. Whattt....
Guest Stefkov Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Lol you are on Vista yeah? Have you been keeping up with the updates, does your pc update automatically? I just clicked on Windows Update, checked for new updates and there it was. Service Pack 1. Installed and now my pc is running quite a bit smoother. Not noticed anything else though.
Guest Jordan Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I've had SP1 on my desktop for a while (leaked full RTM). Time to see how my lappy copes.
Cube Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I installed SP1 and then spent an hour fixing Vista.
triforce_keeper Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Lol you are on Vista yeah?Have you been keeping up with the updates, does your pc update automatically? I just clicked on Windows Update, checked for new updates and there it was. Service Pack 1. Installed and now my pc is running quite a bit smoother. Not noticed anything else though. Yes I am Yes it installed a few updates yesterday, but none of them are named Service Pack 1 in the update history
Caris Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I installed SP1 and then spent an hour fixing Vista. What did it do?
Guest Stefkov Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Yes I am Yes it installed a few updates yesterday, but none of them are named Service Pack 1 in the update history Just keep checking then. I was looking at engadget today and it did officially come out so I don't know what to say. My computer has come back from sleeping a lot quicker than usual. Might just be me hoping the update has done something I can see.
MoogleViper Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Since putting my graphics card in my rating went from 3.3 to 5.9. Now my base score is 4.8 Come on everybody let's compare penis sizes.
Guest Stefkov Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Mine be only 4.3 because of my Primary Hard Disk score.
Cube Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 What did it do? Windows wouldn't load the login screen (but it did load a cursor). Come on everybody let's compare penis sizes. Fine: Processor: 4.1 Memory (RAM): 4.5 Graphics: 4.6 Gaming Graphics: 4.1 Primary Hard Disk: 5.3 I've been considering boosting my RAM up to 2GB, but I'm not sure if it will really make much difference due to my slow processor.
Calza Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Moogle I have the same pc as you except I don't have a graphics card yet so mine is only 3.3. How do I do that print screen thing in Vista but it has the red dots round it. I know its an awful way of describing it but I've seen a few of you do it on here.
Calza Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Thanks Caris. If anybody has a spare graphics card you know who to ask first...
