Vista Sp1 Stand Alone Installer 434mb
- Thread starter PC eye
- Start date
The information seen at the link there sums it up like this.
DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD IF YOU ARE UPDATING JUST ONE COMPUTER: A smaller, more appropriate download is available on Windows Update.
To download the Standalone version of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 please follow the directions below in the Instructions section.
Before installing SP1, please visit the Windows Vista TechCenter and read the page "Things to Know Before you Download Windows Vista SP1"
For immediate installation you would simply go to the update site to allow the scan to run and confirm the install option. By downloading the redistributable version and seeing it saved to a folder that can save time during a reinstall of Windows or simply burning it to a cd-r for seeing it go onto other systems.
For those with dialup and dsl or cable it's worth the time to grab the redistributed version for now and some other time if Windows has to be reinstalled due to the larger size now seen as well as the slower download time. When just going to the update site following SP1's installation there was nothing left to update showing it's available as of today.

I just installed Vista SP1 via Automatic Updates. The actual install takes a while and in 3 stages. But everything went fine on my system.
Sorry about that. I was late starting the thread and didn't spot that one. The information was seen last week but I wanted some additional confirmation besides what is seen at http://www.computerworld.com/action...ewArticleBasic&articleId=9068818&pageNumber=1
I simply downloaded and backed up the full 434mb download for recovery and a burn to cd-r since a friend has a laptop without internet connection for the time being. I verified the installation was complete by going to the MS update site and reviewing the installation history you can see there. Here it went on in only one 5 minute unpack and installation and saw only one system restart.

What blue screens? The only thing noticed here was the reset of the Xtreme Damer's volume control mode from Entertainment to Gamer mode once the system rebooted. I had to re-enabled the EAX effects and adjust the mixer.
If you have been keeping up with the updates you should have any problems.

Got it installed but my sound input and output devices are all missing... any ideas?

My sounds has gone, I don't have any, I checked in device manager, but it says there isn't any updates...
The one thing that probably caused that is similar to what happened here when the default settings for the Xtreme Gamer's volume control panel switched back to the Gamer mode. The automatic update process replaced the drive existing sound driver with a newer version not suitable with the current installation.
Likely remedy? Use the uninstall option in the DM and toss the software disk in the drive upon restarting the system to browse for the original ones first seen. Otherwise you would end up seeing a full uninstall and reinstall of the software along with drivers. First try refreshing the drivers to see if that takes.

I haven't seen anything else besides seeing the volume panel reset to defaults. Plus I've added another browser here lately and see that running faster then anything.
Most are reporting that it goes on trouble free since the service pack is simply a large collection of the currently available updates along with some automatic searching for newer drivers for the hardwares the installer detects. The only other thing heard about so far is some type of corruption or changes seen with the Ntoskrnl.exe file. That's a file that sees most of the NT core's essentials being loaded that is seen in every version back to NT itself.
