Windows Vista SP1 Released to Windows Update

Well, SP1 completely disabled my system.
I wrote down the error codes, but don't have them here with me (I am on another computer).
I had to reinstall disk images from a day ago to get going again. Beware ! I can't believe MMS botched it AGAIN !

 

Confirm . Same here!

SP1 for Vista and SP3 for XP - excellent job

 

Installed SP1 today, approx. 69 MB download.

First installed update to my Realtek audio driver. Then disabled my non-MS Hips.

During the download, the connection was dropped over 10 times, requiring the update to be manually restarted each time. I do not normally observe such behavior with similarly-sized downloads (e.g., Sun's JDK, Netbeans, some Linux updates). To Microsoft's credit, the restarted updates resumed from the current download; I did not have to start the download from scratch each time.

After the updates were installed, I checked view update history via Security->Check for updates in the control panel and noticed that 11 'failed' to update (KB936330). Correction: These failures correspond to the dropped connections during the download.

The most current version of Tcpview, v 2.53, doesn't work. Had to download and install Curports. It works fine, but I miss Tcpview.

Vista boots and shuts down fine. I *think* I am O.K.

Anyone else having issues with Tcpview after installing SP1?

 

I am curious if anyone has had a problem with IE after installing SP1?

I have tried to install it twice. Once via the direct download, and once via Windows Update. Both times I had to uninstall because IE refused to work, as did Windows Live Messenger.

I am also not able to get a ping response back from any website. The weird thing is Firefox still works! I don't see any issues in Event Viewer either. Does anyone have any thoughts?

I am running the 32 bit version of Windows Vista Business Edition. Thanks.

 

I second that! Decided to do a fresh install then installed SP1 straight away using the standalone installer after activation. Everything's working great for me.

 

its strange that for me during my fresh install the stand alone installer wouldnt work so had to get updates from windows update but worked out in the end.

 

i like Vista and SP1, ive had no problems with anything.

 

Odd Oddliness 66.9MB downloaded from Windows Vista updates, rather small for a service pack isnt it what size is other peoples (Service Pack!) Get your mind outta the gutter

 

This is only if you have all previous Vista updates and only if downloaded from Windows Update

 

I do, and I did

 

Hi
Some info here for size of SP1
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/bb968859.aspx

 

love sp1.. systems are much faster now.. ive actually had this release since the beginning of feb but i def appreciate the direct links for those i know who needed them. some people didbt want to install the "wave 0" version that was able to be had in various places.. have had 0 issues whatsoever with sp1 big improvement

 

Installed SP1 3/18. Went from a completely unstable computer to a completely stable computer. I'm extremely happy that Vista is working so well but at the same time I'm mad at Microsoft for 5 months instability. I mean severe instabilty (crashes, lockups, and total failures requiring reinstall of Vista).

SP1 =

Microsoft =

SP1 update didn't go that good for me. After the update, my MCE didn't work anymore saying some windows media component couldn't run or was missing. I had to revert back to a good image.
