there was a few errors for my installation... 2 of them required a internet explorer 6 sp1(?) and the other one had that command line error..everything else went smoothly. Also, i did a benchmark in sisoft sandra before and after installing the update, and there was a consistent little drop in many areas(although just a few points)

**Roadee** · Jan 28, 2003, 01:30 AM

I downloaded it and installed it.......took forever to install......had an error on #8, #12, and #27. Seems to be the same error's as ULtRaXP. XP does seem to be much more responsive. Don't notice much difference in bench marks. Not even sure how mine compare's with other systems.

UltraXP..... are you runnin a pentium system ??Seems to me the better responces are comming from the amd systems....just an observation

WildChild · Jan 28, 2003, 06:04 AM

Hmmm.... Seems that may be something to investigate

DarkFoss · Jan 28, 2003, 06:12 AM

It's probably looking for this patch that came out for IE 6 after sp1.

http://microsoft.com/technet/treevie...n/MS02-068.asp

It can be downloaded here.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/...9/download.asp

Mikeluv · Jan 28, 2003, 06:45 AM

I just downloaded the pack.
I will be postin my comments soon.

WildChild · Jan 28, 2003, 07:07 AM

Here's something for all you tweakers....
Goto run type in regedit
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Control\Se ssion Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters

Create a DWORD REG File
Name it: LargePageMinimum
Hexidecimal is this:0xffffffff
Decimal is this (4294967295)
Save and reboot
NOTE:THIS IS ONLY FOR AMD SYSTEMS

Another tweak I've found Improves System responce
Goto run type in diskperf hit ok and reboot

im not into the benchmarks to much but if you can see the difference in over all usage then the bench marks should be higher alil...

WildChild · Jan 28, 2003, 09:43 AM

Actually Darkfoss...
the update you linked to doesnt install it still says internet explorer sp 1 is needed ...I'm runnin xp corp version on mine and downloaded and installed internet explorer sp1 just for curiousity purposes ...then ran windows update ...no updates ....then downloaded the from the link you posted ....it's a no go ...maybe its something with corp version....maybe its not needed ...hmmm ...thats microsoft for ya

Me AMD fan all the way , man!

I'm running an athlonXP 1800+ Palomino(0.18u..sux) on an MSI KT3 Ultra 333,with 256mb DDR2100...
I also noticed a it more responsiveness, it's just the benchmarks that's bugging me. I had expected higher scores than pre-SP1 setup.

DarkFoss · Jan 28, 2003, 05:45 PM

Thats strange wildchild

When you click on the link and then click on the go button in the upper right hand side the patch it goes to is called Cumulative patch for Internet Explorer and the list on the right the first one is Internet Explorer 6 SP1 32 bit the second is Internet Explorer 6 SP1 64 bit.

WildChild · Jan 28, 2003, 06:03 PM

Not really strange.... Dark that's microsoft for ya....

The_Neon_Cowboy · Jan 28, 2003, 08:48 PM

I donno... My cable modem service stoped working after I installed and rebooted... I looked in my registry run found somethuing called bluetooth being loaded in the background (dont know what that is or where it came from) I deleted the key and cleaned out my prefech now I am back up and running... Quite wierd

ToshiroOC · Jan 28, 2003, 10:00 PM

Bluetooth is some kind of nifty wireless tech that hasn't quite fully made it mainstream yet, isn't it?

Erroneus · Jan 29, 2003, 10:32 AM

I use HFNetChkLT it checks your pc for missing patches and then give you links to where you can download it from MS, works good and always keeps your pc up2date and sercure.

WildChild · Jan 29, 2003, 12:28 PM

The Tweaks I posted were taken from where they were on my system ....the location may be different ...it was brought to my attention that the ControlSet003 location was not on some folks systems ...if that area is not available or non existant then it should be in ControlSet 001 or somewhere in the area of this reg key local machine \system\control\sessionmanager\memory management\prefetchparameters

WildChild · Jan 29, 2003, 01:50 PM

Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\
Value Name: LargePageMinimum
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0xFFFFFFFF in Hex / 4294967295 in Decimal

this is where i started out ...as it turns out mine was in a different folder which was control set 003...enjoy

RIV@NVX · Feb 2, 2003, 01:25 PM

Installed all of it, it is very slow. Gave me error that I need IE6 SP1 at some locations.
LargePageMinimum key isn't present.

Mikeluv · Feb 4, 2003, 12:22 PM

Yeah i installed it and came to alot of errors and lots of browser crashes.

I heard that some SP1a for XP is already out (offically) or it will be soon.

ToshiroOC · Feb 5, 2003, 08:03 AM

True, but the updated service pack only handles the anti-trust-related Java things, no new added patches as far as i can tell...

Nexus · Mar 2, 2003, 12:10 AM

I agree
As I did with SP1

Just creates more wasted time trying to fix certain aspects of the Betas as it did last fall

Video and Audio Betas are fun to play with:
But OS Service packs???
I wish to be sure from now on
