Why are some Windows Vista people who have Windows Update turned on not able to see or obtain SP1, even though Microsoft produced that code available on March 18?The reply to that thorny query and a couple of additional (though not all) with the newest specifics concerning Vista availability are on the Vista Team blog in a new posting by System Manager Nick White.“If in running Windows Update you do not see Windows Vista SP1 listed,
Office Standard 2007 Key, there are a number of good reasons for this (Eight in truth,
Microsoft Office Pro 2007, see the whole list),
Windows 7 Ultimate Key,” White blogged.Among those reasons: You have not yet installed the prerequisite packages need to be installed on your Vista PC firstYou need to uninstall pre-released versions of SP1 before installing SP1You already have SP1 installed (from MSDN, TechNet or some other channel) and don;t realize itYou are running a driver that Microsoft has deemed problematic; SP1 won;t be provided to you until the driver vendor has produced an update Which drivers were the “offending” ones that resulted in Microsoft holding back on distributing widely SP1 after it was released to manufacturing in early February? My ZDNet blogging colleague Ed Bott points to the Microsoft Knowledge Base article that lists the drivers that needed updating.And what about the prerequisite that led to “endless-loop” problems noted by a number of customers attempting to grab SP1 via Automatic Updates? Microsoft says they identified the cause with the problem, but haven;t completely fixed it yet. Around the 18th, White blogged:“By temporarily suspending automatic distribution, and making a small change on our Windows Update server,
Office 2007 Keygen, we believe we;ve largely eliminated this problem (and our support call volume reflects this). We did find one aspect with the problem that was exacerbated when the update was installed using automatic updates. For this issue,
Office 2010 Serial, we;re planning to release an additional update before we resume automatic distribution with the Servicing Stack Update.”Microsoft isn;t going to “push” Vista SP1 to people until April; end users who don;t yet have SP1 but want it before that need to go into Windows Update and get it.
