I used it myself to see if any third party software/drivers might prevent SP1, and I found that I needed new software/drivers for my router that were 'more' Vista compatible than what I had installed.  |

No, it should work, but it is supposed to just tell you that your computer can run Vista, whIch you already know. Make sure you have all the patches/updates and newest drivers for all your hardware, and if you still have problems then you might have a bigger issue. |

I ran the upgrade advisor in consideration of going from Home Premium to Ultimate. I don't really expect there to be an issue, however Vista keeps showing up with new and unusual features... |

Upon the attempt to install the patch, I'll get another message indicating that this patch does not apply to my system. |
