Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Pre Beta.

Hey…

Here’s something that we can have a talk about… Windows Vista’s new offerring to the public… its latest Service Pack 2 (Pre Beta - 6002.16489)… I got this oppurtunity to install this Service pack on my test machine… and guess what??? It Works!!!!

Yes.. Windows Vista Service Pack 2 has changed my system performance.. wow the boot time is faster and the apps load faster and it is working good… and this is what Mike Nash has to say about the improvements in Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

We are committed to continually improving Windows, and we’ve been getting some questions about the timing of the next service pack for Windows Vista.  Following the success of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 last spring, we have been working hard on Windows Vista Service Pack 2. As a part of the development and testing process, we’re going to start by providing a small group of Technology Adoption Program customers with Windows Vista SP2 Beta for evaluation next Wednesday, October 29. The final release date for Windows Vista SP2 will be based on quality. So we’ll track customer and partner feedback from the beta program before setting a final date for the release.

Windows Vista SP2 Beta contains previously released fixes focused on addressing specific reliability, performance, and compatibility issues. We expect Windows Vista SP2 will retain compatibility with applications that run on Windows Vista and Windows Vista SP1 and are written using public APIs. 

Because we’ve adopted a single serviceability model, these improvements are integrated into a single service pack covering both Windows Vista (client) and Windows Server 2008 (server) versions. This should also minimize deployment and testing complexity for our customers.

In addition to previously released updates since the launch of Windows Vista SP1, Windows Vista SP2 contains changes focused on supporting new types of hardware and adding support for several emerging standards:

• Windows Vista SP2 adds Windows Search 4.0 for faster and improved relevancy in searches.
• Windows Vista SP2 contains the Bluetooth 2.1 Feature Pack supporting the most recent specification for Bluetooth Technology.
• Ability to record data on to Blu-Ray media natively in Windows Vista.
• Adds Windows Connect Now (WCN) to simplify Wi-Fi Configuration.
• Windows Vista SP2 enables the exFAT file system to support UTC timestamps, which allows correct file synchronization across time zones. 

One question I know that you will ask is “should I wait for SP2?” The reality is that Windows Vista SP1 is a great platform that is both available on new Windows PCs and available as a free download for systems that are running the “gold” release of Windows Vista.  While we will recommend SP2 when it ships, your best bet today is Windows Vista SP1.

I look forward to sharing more about Windows Vista SP2 in the future - stay tuned!

So here are the screenshots of the install for you people.

Unable to relaunch MS Outlook after closing down without rebooting the computer

If you have Norton 360 and if you have problem in relaunching MS Outlook without rebooting the computer you can follow the steps listed below.

1. Open Norton 360.
2. Click on Settings.
3. Click Quick Controls -> Uncheck “SymProtect Tamper Protection”
4. Close Norton 360

5. Click Start and click Run.
6. In the Run dialog box, Type the following command and click Ok
Regsvr32.exe /u “C:\Program Files\Norton 360\tpShell.dll”

After performing the above steps please check whether the issue is resolved.  If the issue still persist then

1. Click Start and click Run.
2. Type the following command and click Ok
Regsvr32.exe /u “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec
Shared\Backup\buShell.dll”

Now your issue will be completely resolved.

After this make sure you have re-enable Symprotect Tamper Protection without fail.

Cause for this problem is due to the OUTLOOK.EXE process running at the background even after  we close the MS Outlook. 

As a work around you can also try relaunching MS Outlook after ending the OUTLOOK.EXE process from the task manager. (To open task manager press Ctrl+Alt+Del at the same time)
