Vista 64 - Sp1 windows update

Hi,
Everything I read said to wait until the automatic Windows Update says SP1
is ready and to backup before installing. Well last Wednesday, my windows
update finely listed it in my Windows update. But I wasn't ready. I had not
done my
backups yet and was over busy with work and could not afford to have down
time. Yesterday I backed up an image and cleaned up stuff. This morning I
came in to have Windows Update to install the SP1.

My windows update doesn't list it, It is gone. I had Windows Update check
for updates again to get it back. Still nothing.

How do I get Windows Update to list SP1 update again and why did it
disappear from my list? It is not in the hide catagory.

Windows Vista SP1 WAS avaiable for installation from my Windows Update. I
just couldn't install it at the time. The task icon was down in the right
cornor to remind me I still had an update to instll. This morning I went to
do the install and it was gone, not listed anymore. It disappear from the
list of unpdates to install. How do I get it Back?

Rox,

If you followup with MS and get an answer please post it because I too am
waiting for it to show in Microsoft Update. I have recently updated the
drivers I understood to be blocking the update.

bear,

I am running Virtual PC 2007 on my Vist 64_bit and now that Virtual PC 2007
SP1 is out that supports Vista SP1 I might get Vista SP1 from Windows
Update, once Virtual PC 2007 get updated.
