Vista SP1

Torps · 03-17-08, 10:57 PM

Is scheduled to be avaliable for download on next tues 03/25. About the time for XP SP3 which runs about 13% faster then current SP2.

So lets hope my source is good.

as of 5:00 pm CST the Vista SP1 is avalible with windows update. Just downloaded it and installing it.

Installing it now. Funny, though. My Windows updater on my notebook didn't pick up the service pack. I had to manually google it and then grab the download file that way.

That happens sometimes. My wife leaves her automatic updates on and sometimes doesn't get the updates that I get manually going to Windows updates on "Patch Tuesdays" until a few days later. Purely an unsubstantiated theory, but I think they try to spread the updates around over time to avoid bandwidth problems.

I think the auto updates are coming April 18.

CinC Battleforce · 03-18-08, 06:54 PM

I got mine listed as a important update from the auto update

There was an update that came out thru auto updates but I don't think it was the service pack. Here is what I've read:

Quote:

For users who've chosen the automatic update option in Windows Update, SP1 will start downloading to PCs automatically beginning in mid-April, according to a Tuesday blog post by Windows Vista product manager Nick White. English, French, Spanish, German, and Japanese are available now, with the additional 31 language versions due in mid-April.

I downloaded it last night and played 1.5 for a couple of hours. No crashes!

I'll give it a workout again tonight but things appear to be greatly improved as far as stability goes for me anyway...

You can get Vista SP1 from Windows Update. Just installed it earlier today.

CaptainHaplo · 03-19-08, 07:35 PM

Odd - I just ran my update and all I got was a security update and a new defender definition pack..... If anyone has the direct link to DL it - it would be appreciated. I haven't had a technet account in years ....

Torps · 03-19-08, 11:37 PM

After scan disk fixing over 70k in file IDs im reluctant to boot to vista, i think ill try tomorrow though

Deimos01 · 03-20-08, 08:10 AM

For those that dont see it in windows update you may have to install the other updates that are on the list first. There are some prerequisits that need to be installed before going to SP1. Until you install them SP1 will not show up on the list of available updates. I had to run update 3 times before I got SP1 to show up and then the damn thing gives me error80073712 and wont install.

The suggested fix is to re-install vista.

Yet one more line on my "I HATE VISTA" list.

Does Bill Gates live near water? I think I might drive my sub over to his house and put a couple fish in it.

CaptainHaplo · 03-20-08, 08:33 PM

All my updates are applied - still doesn't show. Anyone have a Direct link?
