With the official release of Vista SP2, I just found a thorough comparison between SP1 and SP2 reagrding the OS performance.

It seems that there's no performance benefit from installing SP2 (really, I couldn't swear I felt Vista Loading Time got reduced...Really. Laughing

)

I didn't perceive the decreased boot time but I am getting a few quirky things happening. Originally I thought they were just due to SolidWorks but one error happened without SW running.

my boot time definitely seems slower and after installing SP2 my audio is no longer working Bang Head

I'm hoping that reinstalling my motherboard audio drivers will fix the problem

Well I am getting random poping and crackling in my laptop speakers, retention of windows pop ups and my Lexmark wireless printer only prints now no scanning to this machine but the old XP machine is fine.

I downloaded and reinstalled my audio drivers and that seems to have fixed things. Hopefully that will be the only issue I run in to with SP2

Yeah I had just done a complete reinstall of Vista so I was checking things as I went. Speaker crackle pop started the same day I updated to SP2 but I also added SolidWorks the same day so all of this could be a SW issue but prior to reinstalling the OS I had SW and no issues.

Still have the speaker crackle/pop but fixed the printer issue by completely wiping out all settings on both ends and starting over. Now I am just working on SW but I think it might be a lost cause right now.
