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.

There are basic steps to be followed if we have trouble in installing Windows XP SP3.

We can try in Clean Boot
We can try manual install by directly downloading it from the Microsoft Website
We can check the windows update services..

but apart from this we can check the svcpack.log for any error.

Recent times we found KB925877 is causing the problem.

After uninstalling KB925877 we would be able to install SP3 without any problem

Good luck!

When you open MS Outlook you might get error “C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local settings\Appliation data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook0.ost is in use and could not be accessed. Close any appliaction that is using this file, and then try again.”

You might encountered this problem due to various reason and one possible reason is that the .OST file itself might corrupted.

To resolve the problem you can rename the outlook0.ost from the original location. When you restart the Outlook you will see a new outlook0.ost file created in the said location

Note : If you do that then there is a possiblity of loosing the existing mails.

If you could get some tools that convert .ost to .pst then you would be able to import the emails to the MS Outlook
