hahaha~ sry i think i make it too complicated already.
In another words, i wish to ask, after microsoft roll out sp1, market will have retail version of vista SP1. What i have is vista key only, so can we activate vista sp1 with vista-only key? Just like XP and XP SP2, they both have different key. Can we use XP key on XP SP2? (something similar)  ) haha hopefully i can make it clearer this time~! |

QUOTE(Eoma @ Mar 10 2008, 09:16 PM) You need a DX10.1 card and DX10.1 supporting drivers before it will show in DXDiag (Display--> DDI version) bro..just install sp1 rtm...no d3d10_1.dll in system32 folder Only ones supporting that are the Radeon HD 2xx and 3xx series. To ease your suspense a bit, go look in the Windows\System32 folder, if you see d3d10_1.dll that means you've got DX10.1 already. All SP1 installations will have that, it's just a matter of whether your hardware calls for it.   |

It's only for the standalone, no words on the windows update yet.
The standalone is a one size fits all version, that's why its so huge. The WU one is about 65 MB. |

so, if i download the SP1 standalone and installed with current Vista (updated with all the latest update), there should be no problem right?
why is there so much difference between the standalone and the Window Update version? Standalone - 450MB  Update ~ 65MB QUOTE # Microsoft strongly recommends using Windows Update to download and install Windows Vista SP1 on single PCs: This post has been edited by blessedvillain: Mar 19 2008, 12:26 PM* The download size from Windows Update of Windows Vista SP1 for x86 is 65 MB (compared to 450 MB from the Microsoft Download Center). * The download size from Windows Update of Windows Vista SP1 for x64 is 125 MB (compared to 745 MB from the Microsoft Download Center). * Windows Update will recognize PCs with known problematic drivers and postpone downloading Windows Vista SP1 until the PC has updated drivers or other applicable updates. Using Windows Update will help ensure you have the most trouble-free update experience possible. * Some Windows Vista users may encounter an issue with a small set of hardware devices that may not function properly after updating a Windows Vista PC to Windows Vista SP1. This is an issue with the way the device drivers were re-installed during the Windows Vista SP1 update process, not with the drivers themselves-these drivers worked on Windows Vista RTM and they work on Windows Vista SP1. This problem is typically corrected by simply uninstalling and reinstalling the driver. We are working with the manufacturers of these devices to get the known problematic drivers and their install programs updated, and also on other solutions we can use to ensure a smooth customer experience when updating to Windows Vista SP1 using Windows Update. For new PCs provisioned with Windows Vista SP1, this is not an issue. # If you choose to install Windows Vista SP1 via the standalone installer available on the Microsoft Download Center, Microsoft advises that you first visit Windows Update and install all optional drivers. Read Knowledge Base Articles 948187 and 948343 for more information. # If you have a prior version of the Windows Vista SP1 beta installed, you must uninstall it prior to installing the final version. Use the Control Panel applet "Programs and Features" and select "View installed updates" from the top left of the task pane. Under Windows, look for "Service Pack for Windows (KB936330). |
