You are using a "stolen" - not publicly released build of SP1.
You are way out of the supported channels.
Do not use builds from non Microsoft sources and then wonder why you are
having problems.

We do not want feedback on "warez" acquired builds and those
participants on the official Beta programs have the appropriate
information to provide feedback on the builds we issue them with.
