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?

is the installation dreadfully slow or post-install. An install of SP1 on vanilla Vista can take up to an hour.

post install, the install itself doesn't go particularly fast or slow

bump, anyone?

What's your vista experience rating?

what do you mean?

 

 

 

i've got it since january this year if that's what you mean

Start -> Right click on Computer -> Properties -> Look under System -> There's your experience rating.

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)

Yes that sounds about right.

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?

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.
