| | SP1 final release Anyone know when the final release for Vista SP1 will be available? All of the dates I've heard have come and gone, and MS downloads says nothing other than 'coming soon'. Can't find any recent posts concerning this. Thanks..... |

| | Re: SP1 final release I have my Vista laptop set to notify me of updates.....in fact today there was one update only, and it was Defender definitions. So there's nothing from Windows update telling me SP1 is available as an update.

SP1 will not be offered if Windows Update thinks there will be problems after it is installed. I suggest you update your device drivers to the latest versions and see if it is offered then. Failing that you could download the service pack from the Microsoft web site and install it manually if you are game. -- And loving it, -Q _________________________________________________ Qu0llSixFour@xxxxxx (Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me) |

| | Re: SP1 final release Its annoying as all hell, but just go around Windows Update and download the standalone installer from Microsoft. It’s a big download (400 MB+ for 32 bit, and 720 MB for 64 bit) but I just installed SP1 that way and it worked fine. I couldn't stand waiting for Windows Update to figure out what to do.

| | Re: SP1 final release So, were you waiting for Windows update as well. I'm still waiting. I wrote to one of the Toshiba forum members and he informed me Toshiba was not offering support for SP1 yet, so I might want to wait. Of course in my situation, my warranty is almost expired (if not already expired) so, I wouldn't receive free support anyway. -- Check out the great stores listed here! Receive special offers!

| | Re: SP1 final release SP1 has improved speed (boot time, loading certain apps like IE) and strangely has freed up about 10 MB of disk space. Don’t wait. Just bite the bullet and download the standalone. I still don’t know what was wrong with Windows Update, but I no longer care.

| | Re: SP1 final release I downloaded through windows update once I had all my updates current about a week ago. Working great on my Toshiba laptop. It wouldn't show up until all but the optional udates were done.
