Just for the record I downloaded SP1 and ran it on my Vista Home Premium
machine. Went away and had a cuppa. Came back and it was all done and
dusted. Hmmm. No problems, no issues, no disasters, no glitches, no crashes,
no blue screens, no screaming or gnashing of teeth. Opps! What HAVE I done
wrong?

Same here, Pete

Kevpan already replied in the negative (surprise). He'll soon be
joined by Alias.

You may want to fake it a bit more Peter.
Xtra.co.nz being a valid ISP, chances are there could be someone with a
username of peterbal who is receiving unwanted spam.

SP1 Doesn't slow down a normal persons computer. It just slows down
Kevpan's computer because he thinks it is slower when actually it is faster.
He doesn't have the ability to figure that one out. It is likely that he
screwed up the computer so bad, it is really messed up.

I don't see how it can be messed up because his computers get reinstalled
every 3 or 4 days. And That is Just FYI.

Maybe it is a right wing computer. Wacked Out. Just FYI

Ah, you are right of course. I meant to spell it as "extra", and ended up
spelling it the right way, which was the wrong way, if you know what I mean.
It's actually my own old address and I don't think they re-issue usernames.
However, your point is a valid one, and I am grateful to you for pointing it
out.

Cheers, Peter

No problem, I wouldn't have noticed were I not Xtra.

Well, if Peter wants, I can share my experiences with him - to soften
his disappointment.

I came back after 20 minutes, it said "step 3 of 3 - 52% complete - do
not switch off your computer".

I came back 30 minutes later - it said
"step 3 of 3 - 52% complete - do not switch off your computer"

I came back 60 minutes after - it said
"step 3 of 3 - 52% complete - do not switch off your computer"

......

I swithced off my computer and restarted. (safe mode)

The "installation" restarted, picked up the install where it had left
off, and "completed 100% successfully".

Then the installer undid everything - because it was not a happy install.

To add insult to injury - at the next boot up,I got "there are important
updates for your PC".

I hope this brings more happiness to you all.
 
Re: Just for the record

Its all about probability...

theoretically speaking, in a world with a quantum underlying structure,
probably of ANY event is NOT ZERO.

This means that ANYTHING could happen in our universe however improbable it
may seem.
Given infinite time, this means that EVERYTHING DOES OCCUR at least once.

Even Vista working.

So then you have statistics...
