Any 5920G owners installed Vista SP1 yet?

Hi,

Windows Update had the Vista SP1 for download today, so I installed it. Everthing so far appears as normal (though Spyware Terminator's HIPS got a bit annoying). I haven't yet installed the SP1 Drivers from the Acer website and I am not sure if I have to.

Anyway, any thoughts/recommendations about SP1?

 

File Transfer has improved. Nothing else new.

Old acer driver works well with SP1. Have not tried SP1 drivers as they just renamed it i guess.

 

Installed it yesterday. Works well, a bit of improvement of approx. 15-20% in overall system usage, file access is faster, file operations are faster and the time needed to establish wifi connection at startup is less than 10 seconds.
Install it!

 

I dunno, my startup time is longer and takes longer before I'm fully operational on desktop. File access is indeed faster though.

 

Give it a week or two and everything will speed up. Superfetch has to settle down as well as turbo memory. I have been running vista ultimate SP1 for about a month now on my 5920g and all is well. Make sure all your drivers are up to date and have the latest BIOS installed.

You might want to speed up things a bit. jonspencerbx was right here:

...but you could force things a bit.
You can delete everything found in your Windows\Prefetch folder. This forces the OS to "remonitor" from scratch and create a new layout based on your usage from the point of deletion on.
Make sure you do regular defragmentation. After a number of approx. 5 restarts you will notice boot up time under 20 seconds.

 

Installed sp1, too. No probs. I'm very satisfied with it, cause everything got faster without compatibility issues, so i can recommend it to everyone who are afraid from updating

 

Been on SP1 since it first leaked out

 

What exactly do you mean by 'boot up time'. The time it takes from login and done loading on desktop, the time the operating system is loading.. or ?
Cos 20 seconds sounds pretty fast!

 

I installed SP1 just yesterday. Most obvious things were the start-up time, RAM usage and improvements on file copying.

I've stumbled across another problem, but I'm not sure if it's related to SP1 or not. This only happened AFTER I installed SP1 though.

My "Acer Empowering Technology" bar can't startup anymore. I've tried running the various components on their own, like "Acer ePower Management", but they don't work either. The only one that seems to work is "Acer eAudio".

This poses abit of a problem since eRecovery can't be used either...

Anyone else experienced this? Really hoping for a fix.

 

I have Vista Ultimate with additional language installed. Since auto update didn't find anything I downloaded full install and discovered, that because of this adiional language MUI service pack cannot be installed.

Oh well ... my father will live a while with english version of Vista as I uninstalled MUI :/

SP installed in approx. 30-40 minutes. I cant say I noticed any serious performance gain, but I don't have any issues at all -- all programs are working as before including Acer tools.

However, after SP finished it seems installer cleaned up my system drive -- before I had around 4.5 Gb free, now I have 9.58 Gb free space on system (C) partition.

 

Perhaps it cleaned the entire temp folder?
