Vista - Windows Update does not "see" SP1

My Vista Home Premium 32 (OEM) does NOT "see" SP1
as a needed update yet. Is it still unofficial?

Something on the link below might be the reason it isn't showing up. Didn't
show up for me either even after removing some questionable drivers but I
did a manual download of the larger install package and the update went
fine.

I, too, was under the impression that SP1 was not available via Windows
Update. However, I just checked for updates and there it is: ~62MB in size.
Do you have any idea why it has been released early? I haven't installed it
yet-- I think I'll wait awhile, first.

Thanks,

Dick

I have, and just did before I posted.

I was having trouble getting Windows update to provide SP1. I checked all the
drivers , etc. Then I found a small note in the SP1 deployment guide that
said the Windows update was having trouble scanning if a USB cable to a UPS
was plugged in. It suggested unplugging all USB cables. I did this , except
for my mouse and Windows update offered SP1 immediately.

With all the SP1 troubles I've been reading, I'll stay off it for
now.

All I can say, Zilla, is that I clicked on Windows Update; it said the
download was available; I clicked install, and literally walked away from my
laptop. I didn't have any problems at all. Somewhere in the process -
beginning or end, I can't remember - Update indicated my machine needed
approximately 65 megs. And, that was that. I did visit some MS site
beforehand for standalone stations, where the download for 32 bit Vista was
450 megs. But it advised I use Windows Vista Update, rather than download
the larger version. So, I took their advice.

That's my experience. I do have a newer machine - approximately two months
old - and that may have played a part, I don't know. Others will have to
fill you in on their thoughts. The key, I guess, is to make sure your
drivers are all updated. At least, that's what I've been reading in these
posts.

Hope you find this "comforting".

Take care,

Ernie
