Turbo Grunkamoj 0 Posted July 31, 2000 What does SP1 do? Are there any "hands on" features or anything new of that sort? Or is it just "undercover bugfixes"? Share this post Link to post
DrSchmoe 0 Posted July 31, 2000 SP1 addresses some reliability issues, numerous memory leaks, compatibility, STOP errors and the like. http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q260/9/10.ASP That goes to a *complete* list of the bugs fixed... However, I know there are additional fixes not on the list. For instance, D3D mode didn't work in Diablo 2 before SP1, and now it does. Actually, that could fall under a different line-item, but I didn't feel like reading about the 250 bugs... All in all, the Service Pack will be more beneficial to server operators, however anyone can benefit from the security updates and other misc. enhancements. Share this post Link to post
Reidyn 0 Posted July 31, 2000 Flawless installation here. Everything works after the fact on Windows 2000 Professional retail and Windows 2000 Server. I'm not one of those running a personal firewall, which appears to be the only consistent problem so far. I expect that those people will have their problems addressed by the firewall companies themselves. Share this post Link to post

JediBaron 0 Posted August 1, 2000 So far, so good. Everything worked fine except Half-Life wouldn't connect to any servers. I had to reinstall my Detonator drivers again for my TNT2 card and Half-Life was back to normal . I have taken note of some of the fixes so far: (1) When trying to play Alien vs. Preditor my buttons would stay active. This has been referred to as the sticky key problem. After the update, the game worked perfectly. (2) After installing the Detonator 5.32 drivers again on my TNT2, I no longer have to use the registry fix to get Q2 running in OpenGL. I think the reason that the driver installs those registry keys is because NVidia probably made them on a machine with a pre-release of sp1. So that's all good now. (3) Also, my PC Anywhere 8 started giving me a warning on boot up. It appears that it was supposed to do that before, but never did. Still worked though, even with the warning. I installed 9.2 and there's no more warning. Anyone noticed any other successful fixes? I've heard that some people had to uninstall and reinstall their TCP/IP. I did that just for good measure, but I didn't really have any problem. Share this post Link to post
Hornet303 0 Posted August 1, 2000 Does anyone know if they plan to put the SP1 in the Windows update site? I know its considered a 'recommended' download, but I would think they would let us know thru that. the Update site is much easier to look at instead of searching for something that isnt out yet. And as previous NT 4.0 service packs, sometimes they arent the easiest things to find. I remember getting SP 4 for 4.0 just by a friendly link, no web advertisment at all... anyway, if anyone has info.. Jeff Share this post Link to post
