    I did install this and not really had any issues. I should wait to see if there's any problems before installing this kind of thing but I'm a sucker for grabbing updates as soon as I can lol

    So you're using the removewat technique ?

    Everything seems to be stuttering on my sp1 update, from firefox to explorer.
    Tried doing a defrag but still stuttering,no big usage of memory or cpu and I can't see anything unusual going on in the background, It maybe just coincidence and I may need a new hdd

    There's apps like Hard Disk Sentinel which could tell you if your drive is going another thought is if you keep Task Manager open but minimized to the task bar you can keep an eye on cpu spikes. I've noticed a few cpu spikes from Kaspersky that aren't frequent enough to be an annoyance but didn't happen before the SP1 update

    duke0102 Thanks for the advice, I've been trying multiple things to try and suss it out but no look so far. The task manager trick was the first thing i always go to anyways. Hard disk sentinel says all is well as well. As I'm sure you already know, It could be a thousand and one things,like a dodgy old driver, hardware issue etc and it all just happened as a coincidence on the update.
