Hi all,

Yes it is true ... Nobody seems to know what's going on, or at least I don't.

I succesfully installed service pack 1 and I got to say the indeed fixed the file copy problem. But they still didn't fix the surround issue ... But hey this is what everybody was waiting for :-) So far so good ... Lets hope it stays that way!

I'm running a legal activated Windows Vista Business x64.

BY surround issue you mean sound? I dont think they are going to do anything about that are they? I mean its up to Creative and such to build working drivers for the new way sound is handled in Vista...direct sound and EAX are now a thing of the past. For the most part I am getting good 7.1 sound in Vista now with my X-FI card and OpenAL.

Remember, Vista SP1 has a staggered release based on hardware. Just because you have Vista x64, don't expect it to show up. A guy on another forum noticed it in WU a few days ago. x64 is an obvious first stage because with signed drivers, x64 is a more stable option.

i have brand new hardware from a year ago when i built my new PC and i can't see SP1 on windows update yet :(

although i have updates available to install, when i try to install them they install successfully but when i go to windows update again the same updates are available for download and install again, so maybe it's just my windows is messed up

i installed SP1 through windows update on my fiance's brothers computer and when the computer rebooted from the install it had numerous errors such as not being able to find operating system files and a few other things tried several things and even called MS they suggested reinstalling windows and not using a windows update.

recieved these code errors

0xC0000034

0xC0190003

0xC000021a

Never could resolve the issue just did a reformat and reinstall of windows. Managed to use a second computer to harvest the data off of it so it was not big deal but im glad to say i do not use windows so i do not have to worry about this sort of thing much.

The view style and position of folders are remembered on my Vista RTM, except in rare occasions where the layout may be changed.

Vista has a feature called Automatic folder type discovery that automatically detects the contents of a folder and display the correct detail settings

Hey Solardog,

I don't have a creative card installed in my computer. I do have soundmax installed for Windows Vista x64. I installed the latest version. The issue I have is when I'm in Windows I can play every speaker through the configuration tab, but when I play sound in Winamp or Media Player there only comes sound through my 2 front speakers and nothing from the rear speakers. Is there any solution to this or should I wait for a driver update from soundmax?

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.

      you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
