    Windows Update

    Why doesn't my Windows Update show me drivers when I need them. I think it's a really bad program. The other day, my video card was way out of date and I asked Windows Update to update the driver, but he said it was up-to-date. He doesn't show me the SP1 from Microsoft either...
    Is this normal, or just my problem?

    Hi Amplid,

    I would always recommend to get the latest drivers from the device's manufacturer website instead to avoid just this thing or worse.

    You can use the standalone SP1 installer instead at:

    Download details: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Five Language Standalone for x64-based Systems (KB936330)
