I have two computers running Vista Home Premium. When Service Pack 1 came
out, my desktop, which is a clone I built myself, downloaded and installed Service Pack 1 without any problem, but my Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop seems oblivious to Service Pack 1's existence. Although automatic update is on both computers with similar settings (full automatic update), and the laptop has downloaded a number of updates since then and keeps telling me the computer is up to date, I can't help wondering why Service Pack 1 hasn't downloaded and installed, and whether I should install it manually or just assume the computer has a good reason to not install it and leave it alone. Any input on this would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Larry S |

Check Dell site, specific to your Tag# for any driver updates
If the sp is unavilable, that generally means something on your PC is not compatible "Larry S." <LarryS@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:95523FDE-D36F-4412-94CA-1A135D97989B@xxxxxx

In order to get an accurate picture of absolutely everything to do with your
computer, I suggest downloading Belarc Advisor (www.belarc.com). You will then definitely know if SP1 has been installed or not. |
