Vista Service Pack 1
My Windows update wants me to download Vista Service Pack 1. Is this genuine ? Are there any bugs ?
It says the download may take hours 
When they issued Service Pack 2 for XP, the computer magazines gave away CD updates. Is this likely to happen again so I can avoid the download ?
In theory, I could leave it to download overnight but inevitably five minutes after I go to bed they will pop up a little window saying "
Windows needs to know your inside leg measurement in order to proceed "

Rightly or wrongly i installed Vista SP1 on Saturday and all seems ok at the moe on my Laptop , but time may tell , fingers crossed here . My comp is
set for auto downloads so i dont know how long it took as it only told me when it wanted to install it .

sorry to say that when i downloaded it it crashed my computer, it downloaded alright but when i went to restart my computer it came up with a message
saying that it was installing update and stuck on that screen for about 2 hrs. it then restarted itself again and said that the service pack had not
installed correctly and it was resetting back to the previous settings -> which took another 2 hours!

Austin - What codecs do you need?
This application will install nearly everything under the sun and even allows Media Player to play flash movies!
It's freeware.

I'm Vista'd up and use these codecs on all my Vista PC's with no issues!
