    Vista 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 list it to 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 start the 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?

    Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is not available for installation from Windows
    Update and is not offered by Automatic Updates:

    Microsoft should make up their mind. I also have been reading that SP1
    would be offered as an update. Now they say it won't be.
