in fact, my PC had the more modern Realtec High Definition Audio drivers so 
this did not cause a problem.

The only problem with instalation I did have was with a hot fix for 
Microsoft MYSQL which is a part of Office 2007.  I rebooted and did another 
check for updates and this worked fine.

Hi Tris.  Thanks for this.  The PC does indeed have Realtec AC97 soundcard
and this could well be the reason, so glad that's sorted out anyway.

cheers

Hi Graham

If you are intending to install from the stand alone update you should
do a little research to see if there is any obvious reason not to update
(mostly driver compatability issues that are being wiped out as we
speak).  Otherwise wait for Windows Update to deliver it to you.

Here is a useful site that gives some compatability information:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=948343#method5
<http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=948343>

This is one useful resource about the service pack:
http://support.microsoft.com/ph/11732

I installed SP1 two or three weeks ago and this appears to have gone in
without incident.

Subject: [access-uk] installing vista SP1


Hi all.

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.

Regards

Graham
