folmer_veeman Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 my computer for some reason can't cope with windows vista service pack 1, when i install it my computer just gets dreadfully slow. i've asked the windows customer service for help but they couldn't tell me what the problem was. my specs: 2 gb ram, q6600 2.4 ghz quad core processor, club3d hd4870 ocx. i can't format my pc (well i don't want to) but i really do need service pack 1.. does anyone have experience with this?

eggzs Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 is the installation dreadfully slow or post-install. An install of SP1 on vanilla Vista can take up to an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folmer_veeman Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 i've got vista in dutch but i think you do mean this, it's 4.4 (all things but memory (2.0 gb) are above 5.8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Yes that sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denismage Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 If it's "dreadfully slow", then it is possible you have a virus or a hardware conflict. Download Process Explorer and see what eats up your cpu usage. Do you have any anti-spyware/virus programs on your computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folmer_veeman Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 i have AVG.. but the point is i've been in contact with people from windows for over 4 months about this, but they haven't been able to help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
