The problem is about the incompatible drivers and such.
I ran WU yesterday and windows prompt me to update some drivers and uninstall some .dll s, but I didn't do so, because I've already deleted the .dll but the registry or something is still there. I used a registry editor to no avail. For me, this would be the reason why I'd want to avoid the standalone

what he means is
with windows updates it will update ure drivers along with SP1..

hence less conflicts
the prob is
it wont update to SP1 until all the drivers are compatible.

a quick question, how much space does it need to install sp1 for x64?

i've updated mine to SP1 too, complaining about language not supported so have to uninstall those language, then continue with installation...took about an hour to do it. It still sucks and still takes me ages to configure those network settings

Downloaded and tried SP1.

I uninstall it after 30 minutes of use

Reason ? see screenshot..



I highly suggest to reinstall fresh Vista with SP1..otherwise, your computer will be damn messed up.

hmm...i really dunno why you guys had so much problem after installed sp1? Mine nothing happen and done very well also....hmm..

Mine too, updated through WU. Installed, rebooted, and works just fine.

I still haven see mine from WU... anyone knows any problem?

ive finished d/load the SP1.. now gonna install

hopefully all works as planned..

finish updated thru WU.... it took me less than 10mins to install... very fast since OCed to 3.6ghz i think..
