Hi, sorry as I can't remember whether this issue came up on the
Blind Vista or JFW list, but some of you may remember us talking about
the release of Service Pack 1, and I said that when I installed SP1 I
was having a lot of problems with my computer and having to reinstall
everything. Many people came forward and said that they weren't having
issues and suggested I was the only one.
Anyway, I just wanted people to be aware if they were going to install
SP1 before Microsoft officially release it to non-volume users that
there are still issues with SP1 which means some device drivers are
causing the computer to basically become unusable.
Microsoft are aware of it, and the issues are so bad that when
Microsoft releases it using Windows Update in March, they will not be
making it available to those users with the effected hardware drivers
i.e. not everyone will get it in March automatically.
I'm mentioning it because I know several users have been installing it
manually (I myself being one of them), and I'd just hate for JAWS
users to end up with an almost unusable system by installing it.
I would strongly suggest people wait until Windows Update installs
this automatically so you know your not effected.
For those of you who arne't sure what I'm on about, ignore this as it
means your not thinking of installing it manually in the first place.

Hi, so is this the Thunderbird Portable version that is more
accessible than
the standard version? I'm just fed up of Windows Mail taking ages to
download messages from my Gmail's "all mail" folder, yet it's a snap when
downloading messages from my other Gmail folders. This is using Gmail via
Imap by the way. Thanks in advance for sharing.
