I wonder if SP2 is just all the patches to date, or whether anything else has changed.

Post by: Rik on Apr 29, 2009, 15:09:50
Yes or maybe. ;)

Indeed. :)

I just noticed on The Register that Vista SP2 has RTM'd.

Well my Outlook 2007 seems to start up a lot quicker than it did before the update.  :) :thumb:

You won't believe this, but a prerequisite is that SP1 is installed. One user on The Register has commented:

QuoteGood to see Microsoft moving backwards with technology.

No slipstreaming, non-cumulative service packs....

I'm sorry, I thought this was 2009, not 1989.

:hehe:

My BP only reaches 120/70 when I get excited, Ray, the rest of the time it's nearer 100/50.

Mine is normally at 128/76

It has already been leaked onto the internet (in fact, I managed to get hold of it today and applied it to a friend's machine). ;)

Mines 120/32 which the doctor was surprised at, also I had to blow into that peak flow meter thing to check lung capacity because of the nature of my medication, I hit 800, end of the scale.  ;D The nurses face was a picture, all my years of mountain biking and cycling in general paid off in the end.

32 is extra low, Gary, the lowest I've gone in 45, but I tend to fall over when getting up if it's down there. :)

Probably because of the meds I'm on Rik or I got the figure wrong could have been 55, and it was taken after a bunch of them so I can't remember properly now that I try to  :(  I did nearly pass out that week, normally it must be higher but they were not that concerned, which makes me think I got it wrong  :dunno:

Normally, if it's at 32, they'd be treating you for shock. :)

I think they wanted to treat themselves when they saw me Rik, let alone took my blood pressure  ;) Had confirmation it 120/55 from Justina after bugging her at work, normaly its about 120/65 I guess the high level of Oxycodone lowers my BP Rik, along with the Clonazepam  :dunno: but they were happy as I am over weight......still  :bawl:

I'm obese, still (but getting back to overweight!!!), but since I've been on the ACE inhibitor it's been under 120/60 for most of the time, averaging 110/56. Before the ACE, I still only measured 120/70. All these years I've monitored my BP because I thought it would give me an early warning of any problems. :)

    * chills, infection
    * dark urine, decreased urination (oliguria)
    * difficulty swallowing or breathing (signs of angioedema), allergic reaction (anaphylaxis)
    * hoarseness
    * itching
    * rapid weight gain, stomach pain
    * yellowing of skin or eyes (jaundice)

    * abdominal pain, bloating, vomiting
    * chest pain or tightness, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting (syncope)
    * dry cough
    * fever
    * joint pain
    * rash

    * diarrhea, loss of taste, nausea
    * drowsiness, headache, tiredness
    * Change in mood/ irrational behaviour
    * blurred vision
    * muscle cramps
    * Fainting / Blackouts

Apart from that it's fine

I always like the ones that say things like "Can cause constipation or diarrhoea". You'd think they could make up their minds, wouldn't you. :)

good thread guys but who has any tips and tutorials or even how do you tweak constipation or diarrhoea  ;D ;D

We are very eclectic, Baz. :) Movicol or loperamide, depending on need.
