It doesnt sound too good does it ?

I have actually got Vista running so well on my laptop ( dual boot with XP ) that I have made Vista the default operating system ( finally ).

It sounds like this update might make a mess of things.......can it be uninstalled as a program ? I will give it a try if I can take it off if necessary.

Here are the drivers that SP1 has problems with... I suspect that it will just fail to install if it finds any of them.

Microsoft comes clean on Vista SP1 driver and vLite issues
By Jonathan Schlaffer

Microsoft comes clean on Vista SP1 driver and vLite issues As you may have been aware having certain drivers installed on Vista will prevent SP1 from installing. Microsoft had not exactly been forthcoming on which drivers but has now made the list available to the public.

The company listed the affected drivers in a support article. It consists of mostly audio and display drivers but there are warnings for fingerprint readers as well.

Audio drivers

Realtek AC’97
For x86-based computers: Alcxwdm.sys - version 6.0.1.6242 or earlier
For x64-based computers: Alcwdm64.sys - version 6.0.1.6242 or earlier

For x64-based computers: Wgx64.sys – versions 11.0.1000.1091 or earlier

Additionally, users are warned against using vLite to strip features out of a Vista installation and install using it. Microsoft says that could also prevent the installation of Vista SP1. The previous support article lists possible causes and solutions.

Some companies, Symantec, for example are aware of the issues and have provided free updates to registered users.

Thats actually the full update with all the security patches and everything in it. I wouldn't be suprised if the XP ones are that big too. If you use update its around 68-75Mb (mine was something like 68mb)

I havent had any problems but then again I dont use any of those drivers with my setup

**valuedcustomer** · 23-03-08, 11:38 AM

I would highly recommend a scheduled weekly backup using Symantec backup system recovery, or Acronis, etc., especially if it was activated by utility.

Doing a fresh install with x64 sp1 DVD, I made a mistake of running Symantec endpoint protection 11.0.780.1109, it installed ok, but ie7 kept crashing, my VMware networking was effected, etc.

Updated it and no more IE7 crashes, VMware networking works, and whole system ‘feels’ faster.

I wonder if installing the SP bloats the installation or if it integrates it permanently by not allowing it to be uninstalled from ‘program and features’.
