Hi Jackie, Didn't have anything to lose. I have a new laptop, and I hadn't installed much. So if the installation had gone wrong, I would have just formatted the drive and started again. <Smile>.

I'm glad to read this, but I'm still going to wait for Windows Update to tell me about mine! (smile.)

I've just had a batch of updates today, and SP1 wasn't among them, so will let it do its thing when it tells me. (smile.) Not one to rock the boat at this point.

I recently bought a Samsung Q45 laptop and I am in the process of updating Vista and generally getting stuff installed on it. I have heard that Vista SP1 is generally an improvement but that in early versions of SP1 at least there were problems with some fairly major manufacturer drivers so they did not release to general public straight away. I have checked for updates and installed them all and gone back to the windows update site again to check. Vista SP1 is not yet shown as an update so I have downloaded the stand alone version. Is it likely to be OK to install this? I have temporarily turned off the User Accounts option which pops up whenever a program wants to run otherwise and will turn this back on once I have a reasonably settled system.
