Windows Vista SP1 Release Candidate (RC) Public


Recommended Posts

Will the final SP1 be slipstreamable with the Vista DVD?

I'm sure it will be as MS has to slipstream it somehow... You'll just have to download the standalone package I'm sure.

Well, I am running the RC and so far I see no problems.....no improvements either though. One thing I did notice is that one of my Ultimate "Extras" is now installed: Dreamscene (i think that is what it was called) is no longer listed as an available update. Only the BitLocker and Hold Em are available to install (I never installed them).

Noticed that too, but cant find dreamscene listed under wallpaper changes. Wierd...Where is Poirot?

any changes anybody see when installed sp1?

Nothing too obvious other than the improved a bit backup and restore center, exFAT filesystem support for external USB flash drives, and the VERY improved copy/move speed, well done MS (Y).

isn't that what sp's typically are, just a mass bundling of all the possible updates to that point?

What you said is a part of any service pack, but new features may be added as well, also some fixes that simply can't be released on Windows Update (Kernel updates, major file system changes, etc).

I've tried 3 different sound cards one of which being an audigy SE and I guess other people hare having the same issue

Make sure your chipset drivers are installed properly..this happened to me and that fixed it.

ya I installed the latest one of those too, last ones released was the July 2nd for the Nforce 430

which sucks, because I wanted to buy myself a podcasting USB microphone for Xmas, but doesn't do much good if the audio skips

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa.

Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section.
