Having problems with Vista SP! download
I go into windows updates and SP1 will not show up in Windows Update and keeps saying my computer is fully updated or whatever but when I go to system properties it doesn't show SP1 either which I find very strange why is this doing this? can someone please help me! Thanks.
You can try this link which is the standalone version of SP1 for Vista 32bit. Although it did show up in my windows updater, I installed it from the link and haven't had any issues
Search for a Microsoft paper on the several programs that are not compatible with SP1 and won't allow the upgrade. You need to either update or delete these. I had to delete Trend-Micro and update the fingerprint scanner driver in order to get the SP1 notification. Interestingly, I checked for the uodate several times after making the changes without success, but the update appeared the next day. SP1 installed smoothly in 30 minutes.

This is what I did and it worked cause I did everything the other person said and it still didn't show up so I did this and haven't had any major problems with it so far! Thank God
