    If you are using stuff like.. Vista Glazz, etc.... or if you messed with your system files... Un do it before you install SP1! or have fun poking around in safe mode and cmd prompt like I did :(

    I think I'll be waiting until the maker of VistaGlazz comes out with the new version before i go ahead and update.

    I had VistaGlazz installed and a theme in effect when I installed SP1, and when I rebooted, the theme was gone and no transparency, so I uninstalled VistaGlazz and the theme, and then manually patched my files according to mr.bobharris' guide, reinstalled the theme, and everything is working fine now....

    :p
