Vista SP1 - Do You Need It? - Comments Page 2

I had the same problem as Emma, My hp dv9000 laptop won't start. I spent hrs with HP tech help and they had no clue what was going on. I bought a recovery disc (by the way it should have been free). The disc was no good, Tech help stated after 3hrs of getting no where that the disc was faulty. all of this after installing vista SP1. CAn anyone help me?

I have tried for two months now, probably about 25 times, to install Vista's SP1. Each time it indicates "successful installation" but within a few seconds it re-states "failed installation". Has anyone else gone through this? I think God's trying to tell me I don't need it! :) I would really appreciate hearing your input, Mr. Rankin. Thanks!

EDITOR'S NOTE: If God is speaking, then anything I have to say is much less important. Wait for SP2!

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Installed SP1 on my HP530. Everything seemed fine until a few minutes went by and my wireless connection packed up. Had to reboot. Turns out there is a problem with the 3945ABG and SP1.

Without SP1, Vista runs fine. Linux runs better but it doesn't look as good (not yet, at least).
