SP1 not found

Hi,

I've been using Vista for a year.
So far, all patches were regularly automatically installed without any
problem.

Vista SP1 has been released 10 days ago but windows update tells me that my
windows is up to date !

It does not find SP1.....

What's wrong ?

Chasing the drivers or whatever Windows Update is looking for is a waste of
time. If we wanted to waste time on the internet looking for drivers, we'd
be running Linux!

Just go to the MS download site and get the standalone installer for
whichever version of Vista you've got - either the 32 or 64 bit. I wasted a
lot of time trying to get Windows Update to figure out what to do with
itself, but when I just ran the 64 bit installer, I got SP1 and everything
works great.

Microsoft needs to make getting service packs less frustrating.

This reply is misleading! SP1 is available via Microsoft update....I ran MSU
and SP1 downloaded no problem.

"Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is not available for installation from Windows
Update and is not offered by Automatic Updates" is not a statement, it's the
title of a knowledge base article.

Well, I'm very unlucky...

I have the Sigmatel audio driver and this driver is not compatible with SP1.
The company who designed it no longer maintain it.

see this microsoft post:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...r=US&sloc=&p=1

My only luck is either Sony or Microsoft persuade the initial company to
update this driver.
The post seems to say that microsoft might release a patch to solve this
problem.....

No SP1 for me.....

My brand new Dell Precision laptop has a Stigmata audio driver but it seems
that Dell have sourced their own driver for it (from IDT) which is
compatible with SP1. I know because I am running with SP1 and certainly
still have sound.

I am not sure if the driver on my laptop would work on your machine but if
you want to try it drop me a line and I'll send you the one I have.

That's what the Outlook spell checker thinks of SigmaTel!
