| | Vista SP1 Drivers I read about the issues with the drivers SigmaTel • For x86-based computers: Sthda.sys - version 5.10.5762.0 or earlier • For x64-based computers: Sthda64.sys - version 5.10.5762.0 or earlier My driver is Sigma Tel Driver 6.10.0.5343 so does this mean that it is not a problem? I have a Dell XPS 1710 and it will not auto update to SP1 and the only item I think I could find on the list that would block the update is this one... any Ideas Thanks Kevin |

| | RE: Vista SP1 Drivers I also have the same question as Kevin. I have Vista Ultimate, so based on what Kevin and my situation is, shall we download SP1 from the Microsoft website, or wait a little while? Thanks.

| | Re: Vista SP1 Drivers Thanks Mike, but I haven't been offered it through WU yet, as I believe that the SigmaTel driver may be inhibiting it. Shall I wait a little longer, or install it manually?

| | Re: Vista SP1 Drivers Good news, Mike. I tried a newer SigmaTel driver, rebooted the PC, and WU did offer my SP1. I downloaded it, and it installed without any problems.
