vista sp1 question

Callidor · 04-13-2008, 04:23 PM

so i just got my laptop yesterday (specs in sig), and performance powerhouse though it is, im having a few issues. most of them are mostly resolved, but i have a question about sp1.

when i got it, i did every single update windows found. when i go to windows update now, it tells me that my computer is up to date, but when i go to my computer properties, it does not say that i have sp1. so...do i have it or not?

should i download/install this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en ?

I had that issue with my laptop as well, I had to manually download it from Microsoft (which is the same thing as that link is to).
