The Windows Update service can detect the small set of device drivers and software that falls into this category. The Windows Update service will not offer Windows Vista SP1 until an update for the hardware device driver or the device software has been installed." "Problematic" means someone, somewhere had a problem during testing of SP1. I have one or two programs that are "problematic" for years now but have caused no problems for me personally. Are you feeling lucky? Cheers, Earle |

| | Re: Should I install SP1 manually? Actually I have never had any problems with any Vista updates. I do, however, look at each one and uncheck the ones that do not apply to my system (like updates for Works or Outlook.) -- Birk Binnard http://www.birkbinnard.com |
