    I am still seeing the following message even after I have checked updates manually.

    Check the following:

    • You have not installed all the prior updates. You need to make sure that you’ve installed all available updates to this point, and then you should see SP1 in the list. (This includes optional updates for Vista Ultimate users)
    • You are using language not supported yet in SP1.
    • You are using hardware that isn’t supported at this point.
    • You used vLite for a custom build.
    • You have the beta SP1 installed. You need to remove the beta before you can install the final version.

    Not a big fan of SP1 at this point or of updating in general really but I upgraded to a Quad Core the other day so decided on the format I’d install SP1.

    Had the chip running on Vista without SP installed and it was moving. Formatted the hard drive, installed SP and boom…IE & FF was loading/hanging to some extent and there was a drop in overall performance.

    Ended up reformatting again and running Vista without SP. Runs like a dream now.
