Post comments on SP1 Beta

Just Installed SP1, on the infamous Corp version. Followed the Directions to un-activate and then insert another valid key and all went fine.

Then I had no problems downloading and installing the SP1 beta update.

The whole proccess went without a hitch, a new directory was created in windows called"ServicePackFiles" containing a new i386 folder with 1044 updated files in it totaling 243 MB (254,929,825 bytes).

This is obviousely a rather major update, but to be totaly honest its as if nothing much has happened. Ok ive got 1044 updated files but apart from a new item in Start--All Programs called "Set Program Access and Defaults" there is nothing else noticable.

Internet Explorer is now version 6.0.2800.1050.xpsp1.****

Messenger is now version 4.7.0031

Windows XP is version 2002

Im not regretting the upgrade but am wondering if it was really worth while. Perhaps a bit more time will tell.

With me sometimes the buttons and smilies of forums come up as red x marks. When you hit refresh the buttons show up. Earlier using the default windows video drivers (for Gforce 4 Ti) it caused my PC to reboot. Works fine now that I switched to Leadtek drivers.

Something I found, having already changed the product key using a keygen one to install sp1, I then thought I would try and change the key again. It does not work. so keygen keys dont work after installing sp1.
