| Guru  Rep Power: 54  | Re: Why SP1 may not be available for you and how to get it Do a Trendmicro free scan for boot sector virus or Trojan Horses first. Did you change the motherboard, CPU, RAM, hard drive, or video card? If yes, what? |

| Guru Rep Power: 54 | Re: Why SP1 may not be available for you and how to get it www.trendmicro.com free virus scan. See what it finds. A boot sector virus or Trojan Horse can cause your issues. Did you overclock anything or change any BIOS settings? |

| Member Rep Power: 3 | Re: Why SP1 may not be available for you and how to get it Finally, Success! SP1 has installed! It only took another Format, and now allowing Vista to install any drivers what so ever. straight through all the updates and SP1 went in first time. So, it would seem the trick is to do like you say... clean install... get SP1 straight away. |

| Guru Rep Power: 54 | Re: Why SP1 may not be available for you and how to get it I usually get the media kit with the service packs integrated into the base install. I used Vista x64 Ultimate SP1 DVD. Install all your patches and updates. Then, install anti-virus. |
