Vista SP1, on your shift or not?

---

Hi everyone, just notice the news is saying Vista SP1 starting appearing on windows update, just wonder if any of you sees that on your Shift? i click check for update many many times already and it just not there.

I know there is a stand alone install file, but i prefer to automatic download through windows update.

So what is going on, is SP1 on for Shift or not?

It's coming on Windows Update but not everyone can see it.
I already downloaded it 2 weeks ago (MSDN) and I can recommand it
It takes a long time to install, but after that it's nice to have it.

Don't know. I did this check for updates several times, and hoppa, once it asked me if I wanted to install the SP1.

That was 18-3 in the evening east european time. In the afternoon I had no luck.

Works great.

Huib

installed, but not very cleanly

Well, after 3 failures, I finally updated to SP1 using Windows Update.
Took a lot longer than an hour I can tell you. Between 2-4 hours per attempt.

In the end, I still had no audio and problems with Shagctrl. Followed instruction on other threads here and they seem to be ok now.

My remaining problem is that he custom buttons on the right side of the screen are no longer mapped. Shagctrl and resolution changer are accessible by running the applications directly, but the buttons don't do anything.

Any ideas?

I tried the beta and notice some great improvements with my videocard. I origianlly scored a 4.5 without it and with it I received a 4.7. The gaming graphics received a much higher score. I uninstalled the SP1 RC1 though in order to aquire the newer release and still have not seen it yet. I do know that MS states they have already started releasing it to the manufactures as of Feb 2008. Who knows.

Yes that's correct. It showed up in the partner site a couple of weeks ago.
Otherwise, use this link to download it

The direct download is hidden until next week and they really want you to do it via Windows Update.

But here's the link (no MSDN required!!)

DOH!!! Didn't see the full link and thought it was an error.

Thank you for the link. I will be a lot happier now. In your opinion, I have 2gb of ram. Would it be beneficial to buy another 2 gb to have 4gb? The price is right....

You have 2GB RAM on the Shift and wonder whether you should upgrade to 4GB?
First, I don't really believe in the 2 GB - (theoretically possible but hits you with roughly $500 and voids the warranty) and 4Gb is just not possible, that kind of RAM for the Shift does not exist (maybe in some dev labs of RAM manufacturers, ready for release in 2009 ...)

Umm Sorry, I was comfused and was talking about the memory for my PC not PPC since the topic of Vista SP1 was on the board. I would love my phone to even have 1 gig.
