Vista x64 SP1

[offive]

When I accidentally let Windows Update add SP1, my mobo fried the same day. Coincidence????

Yes, but only if you did the upgrade that ends on a day that doesn’t end with a Y. If the upgrade was done on a day that ends with a Y, then NO your mother board was slated for termination on that day that ends in Y when it detected a new operating system.

You should try Windows Mojave, I hear its hardware neutral, unless you run it on an iPhone then it will brick it.

I just rebuilt my Vista x32 machine and used a brand spanking new cope of Vista x64 ultra which included SP1.
This machine works wonderfully, I really like it :P . I see they removed the ability to disable UAC from the control panel, it's a pity I know where to disable it in the registry :whistling:

I guess my problems with SP1 are related to the upgrade, maybe I should rebuild that old x64 machine from scratch too.

I love my Vista64 SP1. Nearly no troubles at all. Using Ultimate.

I need to hijack the thread a little bit

Both of my vista machines have insane mouse issues, it happens ingame and out of game but i'll mouse over something and my mouse can shoot to the other side of the screen. I also have the while running I'll find myself spinning and looking up. In the past I tried to fix it but nothing posted seemed to work, can someone point me in the direction of the fix.

are you using any dual boxing software like keyclone, etc?

I used to use one of the freeware packages (for the life of my I can't remember which one) and that was one of it's "features", spining wildly and looking up at the sky.
I now use keyclone and I don't have that spinning problem since then, i'm sure there is other software that doesn't cause the spinning as well.
The problem was not Vista but the software I was using to send keystrokes and mouse clicks to other windows.

I use multiplicity, but the problem exists in single seat mode to.
