Windows Vista SP1 Problems with Workaround

by Milo on February 23rd, 2008

I have reported about Windows Vista boot-up problems from sleep mode and apparently Infoworld has reported on Microsoft’s workaround on it.

In an excerpt:

The latest turn of events — and to be sure, this journey changes course daily — has Microsoft recommending workarounds for rebooting issues caused by a recent Windows Vista update that was meant to prepare systems for SP1 — which is supposed to happen in mid-March.

[ Read InfoWorld’s complete coverage of Microsoft’s Vista SP1 trials and tribulations ]

Earlier this month, Microsoft had finalized Vista SP1 code and released it to manufacturing. It also provided access to some testers and reviewers, but not the usual broad list. That led some testers and reviewers to grouse that they weren’t in that coveted first distribution. At the same time, other users started urging Microsoft to speed SP1 to market. Microsoft complied, somewhat, and posted SP1 to Technet and MSDN, reaching a broader set of advanced users.

    Regarding Dejan’s probelm-
    I have the same thing, no answer to fix it yet, but I have information on it.
    It is doing this because of the program zone alarm, I can guess you get a message about True Vector Internet Moniter drivers not compatable. Well, true vector is part of zone alarm and makes it run. When this driver malfunctions however, the internet moniter with it takes down you internet due to uncampatability with new windows SP1. You internet will work if you do two things, uninstal Zone alarm, or SP1. Go to automatic updates, then history, click at the top to where you can uninstal updates, and uninstall SP1 to uninstal that. Im guessing zone alarm will eventually become compatable, but as of now, those 2 programs will not work together and there is no fix except uninstaling one for now.
