Riggers Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Managed to get it installed eventually on my 64Bit rig (third attempt via WU) and now the the .NET Runtime Optimization Service has done it`s thing (which will take ~50% CPU for at least 10-15 mins, check it out in Task Manager after re-booting) everything has settled down and back to normal :) So anyone who sees a slowdown straight after installation, check if mscorsvw.exe (both 32Bit and 64Bit on a 64Bit machine) is crunching the CPU. It is set to Normal or Below Normal priority so shouldn`t affect stuff that much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze_Zewi Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Anyone willing to time their welcome screen and see how long before it loads onto the desktop? Please :) Since after my SP1 x64 installation my welcome screen went form 5 sec to a 30-40 sec delay :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pupik Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Can't get it installed. Always get this error, after it getting stuck on the downloading screen and flashes for a second when on 19%: Any solution for that (using 64bit version)? edit: New update has been uploaded. Hopefully, it will solve the problem. Restarting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cork1958 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 You're wrong on that account. While all previously released updates are included, Service Packs also include non-essential updates that may benefit the end-user. Whether those updates directly affect you is not the point. The purpose is to "patch" the operating system as a whole and make it better for everyone! You can do that. You aren't required to install the SP - unless future software requires it. Sometimes Service Packs introduce major updates that aren't meant to be released as normal updates. Try searching the internet for what is actually included in the service pack before assuming it isn't going to benefit everyone. Here's some notes on Windows 7 SP1. Granted, this SP may not affect the consumer more so than it does the server environment, but you still get some security and performance enhancements. It's not like you adding an additional 1GB to the Windows install. The purpose of the Service Pack is to patch existing files while also introducing some new features. Therefore, it isn't going to take up that much additional space. Edited: Not even going to waste the wear and tear on my fingers to type out what I had here!

Pupik Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Welcome to the club! Scrap SP1 if don't want to reinstall. That KB947821 baby solved the problem for me. Installed SP1 now without any further issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taliseian Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Did a clean install -- Win 7 , KBs needed for the SP (947821 and 976902), then SP1. Runs great, no issues so far. Only complaint is that it's not an easy thing to build your own SP1 DVD. I don't like having to use a third party tool to do so, as I've had some hit and miss with them. Can't afford the $$ for an MSDN subscription. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majortom1981 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 On my work machine I swear it made my display better. ON all my other machines it did not do much of anything.

YounGMessiah Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I have not really notice anything positive nor negative which is always good lol. Did notice some new features or whatever.. One thing though it has happened twice where my Windows 7 just freezes and is unresponsive for like 2 minutes and this only happened after I installed SP1.

someguy201 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 SP1 is mainly just security updates, and previous updates, rather than anything new. If it's causing problems, chances are something was already broken. Also, if it causes a problem preventing Win 7 booting, why not just use system restore? The magic of the recovery environment.

My Fiance tried installing SP1 on his Windows 7 x64 machine and now it won't boot. Fatal error C0000034. He has no system restore points. Has anyone figured out a fix for this yet? A lot of people seem to be having this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someguy201 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Go into Recovery Environment, open command prompt and use: wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:976932 It's the command line uninstall for SP1. Not sure what the error is caused by exactly, but that should uninstall the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

someguy201 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 If you manage to get it uninstalled like that, make sure to check for malware on the computer. The posts I've seen about it have generally been related to malware, but that may be just coincidence. Make sure to turn on System Restore in future, they can be rather useful.

Can others confirm please? I've changed my update settings until I get confirmation that it's safe. If it isn't I'll reformat when I go home for the summer. SP1 will just flat out refuse to install (probably with error 0x800f0a12) if the Windows 7 partition is not set as the active partition. If you're dual booting with GRUB, just mark the Win7 partition to activate on boot and SP1 should then install fine. Just my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
