Reinstalling Vista SP1 resolves display problems but was it ReadyBoost?

Ah, the adventure of it all! Doesn't it remind you of the good old days? When men were men and computers only worked because we pampered them, added bus terminations, and juggled board positions until we reached a stable configuration?

Oh, wait, you probably don't remember the old S-100 days....  ;)

Hey Bill,
  No I, fortunately, I don't have any S-100 days. That said, if I could recapture the days/weeks/months wasted configuring autoexec.bat and config.sys I could take the rest of the year off!

I'd seriously like to know with the first install I could end up with the display problem and how a subsequent install of the same bits resolved it.

Non-deterministic installation? ;)

Gotta love it!

Just a wild guess: SP1 is known to have some issues with some device drivers.
The first installation failed somehow to update/replace the driver used by readyboost, the second installation did not... as I said just a very wild guess

Hi Chris,
  As is typical with Microsoft links they don't stick around long enough. The issue I had was that my monitor would fail to work after resuming from hibernate. The issue was mentioned in the release notes I had linked to but I don't see it mentioned in the latest release notes that I found.

I'm no longer running SP1 because the issue I had eventually reappeared which is entirely unacceptable.
