If the rest of you are not getting this then i dont know why she is on her computer.

I have a real retail version of vista ultimate and it is activated. I downloaded this probably the second he posted the link..i dont know if he switched the file after i downloaded it or if its the same one that is offered all along.

I will reinstall it and post back.

Hi jeremym,

Did your wifes system have a previous beta that perhaps wasnt uninstalled first ?

nothing wrong with the sp1...my fault :/

Assuming not all of us are computer savvy and can't understand this gibberish, can any one else verify that this is a legit, final build?

And even if it's not, what are the downsides to installing it if it's not the "RTM" or whatever you keep speaking of.

This is a real version with a real key. I didnt see this until i installed this SP on there. This is odd. Im trying a system restore to the time right before i installed the sp.

Hmmm ... that is weird. Im using the32 bit update also. I switched wallpapers and cant see any evidence of a "test" version. Hope you figure it out.

As far as I can tell this is the RTM. Keep us updated.

Hi,

RTM refers to "Release To Manufacturer". It suggests a final copy, that is stable, bug free .... etc

As far as updating goes, its hard to tell if its right for you. Theres always a chance of driver conflicts etc. On the other hand, it can be uninstalled easy enough, and offers you the chance to problem solve ( optimistic view

) if anything should go awry.

I say try it .... get your feet wet .... it appears to be stable and a worthy upgrade.

reason for editing this is because i downloaded the file from the torrent and forgot all about canceling the download from here

I'm content with my Vista, I'm just hoping my GAMES will start working , lol. Other than that my Vistas never really messed up.
Although my web browser connection stops working all the damn time ever since I used this Vista comp...
It must be a uTorrent conflict...so I def wanna sdee if this download helps that.

System Restore point; can't go wrong

jeremym, could it be traces of the beta still in your registry ?

jeremym · #**109** (**permalink**) 02-07-2008

editing this post as well

You say activation went ok ..... Im wondering if the mobo is somehow still linked to your system. Are you using an OEM version of Vista?

Maybe Im pulling at straws here.
