sp1 beta?

I found this:
http://dailyapps.net/2007/10/hack-attack-d...indows-update/f

It originally worked fine for me (except removing watermark) on x64 Vista Ultimate. I had
to get my Sony laptop replaced and therefore, reinstalled x64 Vista all over again. This time,
it did not work. Sony laptop is 100% same anyway, o/s same as well.

Not sure what went wrong this time. Same Vista key as well of course.

Basically, the problem is it is not updating to SP1. Windows update is not doing anything
nor showing any updates this time around. Has any one tried this? Did you have a similar
problem? Many in that link said it worked, while a bunch said it didn't.

My main reason to get this is to fix the Media Center memory bug which affects tv tuners such as
Hauppauge. All I get is a green screen. It worked on the original laptop I had, the sp1 fixed the green
screen issue.

Chad,

Try saving the contents of the Code box in Notepad as directed, but save it as filename.bat instead of with the .cmd extension.. Right click on the filename.bat and click Run as administrator.
