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.

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)Originally Posted by best4less
I havent had any problems but then again I dont use any of those drivers with my setup
Coding in C is like sending a 3 year old to do groceries. You gotta tell them exactly what you want or you'll end up with a cupboard full of pop tarts and pancake mix.
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’.
hehehe thats if "Symantec" dozn't crash vista
I havn't had a problem with sp1....yet. The wirless networking is still very slow witch is a bummer
Have been using vista SP1 for a few weeks now and all seems OK
Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Build 6001.17128, RC Refresh 434.45 MB.
Installation took 23 mins to complete.
PC runs faster and smoother.

Easy for me,

Disabled my sound card and my capture card
