My performance is the same if not some what better . Windows 7's opinion of my ram went WAY down from 7.5 to 5.9 witch is just pure bull to me . What gets me is all this time through windows vista up till I installed SP1 on this OS the ratting was 7.5 now it takes a Nose Dive off the cliff With a ratting of 5.9 ? Give me a break !

KB971033 is not integrated with the service pack. I did a clean format for SP1 and when i went in Windows Updates, it was there as an available update - you can hide it and you won't see it again.

Other than that i must say im quite happy with the responsiveness of the system - everything i do just feels sharper

Maybe you did something to offend Windows?

I feel your pain also. Last night I had problems getting WU to download the SP.

It would hit 18% then got an error msg. I followed microsofts suggestion and what happened after the install took, well needless to say it fuged the boot drive. I had my rig next to perfect but was waiting to install the sp1 then create a system image.

Weird shit, and when it shits, it takes a huge one last night!

But all and all after doing a clean install it took and haven't had any problems yet.

Have you tried using system restore?

What a turd. I can't even install it. Apparently, I'm "missing components" that I actually have. The SP1 readiness tool is as useless as the SP itself. I guess I'll have to force an upgrade from disc.

Umm no. Some people have more than just games installed on their PCs. Can you imagine that they even use it for work? Crazy folks, right?

Well if you depend on that PC, it is only understandable that you're cautious before installing something that may interfere with a non MS program for example and fork your entire day into fixing it...

I ran it (thanks!) but it said "no images to clean". So i am fine.

(Of course, after installing SP1, I already did a (All users) Cleanup right clicking on the harddisk...

sounds like you either modded your windows installer .iso, or you disabled needed services.


you could try an sfc /scannow, otherwise i'd just give up and install with a slipstreamed SP1 iso.

Got a Fatal Error C000009a just after reboot but still on the blinky-MS-logo black page. Using Win 7 x64 Ultimate and updated via Windows Update.
Had to resort to Acronis TIH 2011 done earlier to restore prior SP1.
Wonder if I try downloading complete SP1 installer standalone will end up the same...

DO NOT DOWNLOAD FROM THE WEBSITE... unless u feel like downloading a bunch of crap you already have... use the windows update on your computer and it will automatically download just the updates your not using yet.

Still got a Fatal Error C000009a when applying operation 113xxx of 348xxx bla bla..
What went wrong...
Next option is to slipstream Win 7 SP1 and reinstall, I guess.
Updated my other 2 pcs (with Win 7 x64 Pro) without problems, though.
