BBloke Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 At the moment IE8 is just a beta and more for a web developer than mainstream usage. I downloaded it and installed it on one of my VM installs and it looks like IE7 with an option to emulate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted May 8, 2008 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Now...I installed sp3 via Windows manual update 2 days ago smoothly with no hitches and have noticed the following: I have an icon for an 'A' floppy drive now - didn't have one before I don't get the date displayed now when I cover the time in the taskbar with the pointer 'arrow' Some DVDs now stutter - may try an Nvidia driver reinstall Using FRAPS, vsync off and the Black Death, sp2 was Min 21, Max 103, Avg 58. sp3 is Min 22, Max 171, Avg 69. I haven't altered anything else. Mixed feelings with this, but generally fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blairgowrie Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I had no issues with it following a reformat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted May 12, 2008 2. Administrators Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I did the same - complete trash and rebuild (from ghost image with SP2). Everything seems OK - except the fact that I obviously can't be trusted to reinstall the key mappings on IL2 before I go flying with you chaps.

BBloke Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 You could always link to the network resource from MS, Jabo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted May 12, 2008 2. Administrators Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 That's a much better idea. Up here for thinking, down there for...yeah, anyway, here's a link to the full SP3 ISO image Jabo Incidentally, it's probably best to grab this (if you want it) sooner rather than later - ISTR M$ removing the full SP2 a month or so after release - you could only then get it via Auto Update (urgh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
