The SP1 just crashed my 2 year old Dell Computer that is running Vista Home Premium. I cannot reboot and have tried everything. The Blue error page comes on. Help!!! The computer was accidently turned-off during the downloading process. I rec'd an automatic update sign and the process started updating.....and the rest is history!

anjikanji, there isn't enough information to make any real analysis on what is causing this problem for you but I'd check your internet connect or network settings as that may be causing your issue.

Thanks,

Brandon

jquimby, many OEMs are providing updated SigmaTel drivers off their support websites such as Dell. I would check your PC's OEM website for updated SigmaTel drivers that should enable you to install Windows Vista SP1.

Thanks,

Here we are half way through June.

SigmaTel audio drivers versus SP1.

Nothing new.

Bye Vista. I gave you MORE than the benefit of the doubt. It's gone, never again to be seen again from any of my systems. How hard can this be to correct, I mean really?

No more pumping up Vista. It's crap and Microsoft knows it. Just admit it and see to it that Windows 7 isn't crap too.

Things for Microsoft to consider:

1) Not everyone has the top of the like PC. Those that don't notice how big the OS is and how it slows the PC down.

2) Not everyone uses it for pictures and audio files.

3) Not everyone likes the foo foo crap to make Windows look pretty. If people want foo foo, they buy Macs.

4) Not everyone has a broadband, always on Internet connection.

5) Not everyone understands computer jargon and networking and the difference between a web broswer, email client, and anything else.

The bottom line is, you really don't know who your customers are and what they want. Instead you give them what you think is cool and cute and what they need.

But it's all moot. You can't even get a service pack to work with a common audio system and I'm expecting a good next generation OS? What am I thinking?????

Vista = ME = Crap = bubbye

Help! I don't speak "computer", but am having big problems. A few days ago, a balloon came up on the screen saying I should download Service pack 1. I have a 6 month old HP desktop, followed the directions and installed it. Yesterday my computer locked up several times.Now it runs for a few minutes, then locks up. Do you think it's related to SP1?

Is there a way (for a non computer geek) to fix this, or do I have to take the computer to someone to have it checked out?

Thanks for any info.

I'm new to vista on a new packard bell desktop. It's driving me bonkers, the latest in a catalogue of problems with hypersensitive Vista was trying to download and install SP1. After 2 hours of a continuously repeating cycle of auto shutdown, repair and configuring updates, I eventually had to resort to a total recovery and lost a load of important work I'd been in the middle of, not to mention all the time-consuming hassle of reloading programmes, links, plus lost emails etc...

PC World/Currys Techguys have told me not to try and download this update again. So I can't trust Microsoft enough to set my pc for automatic updates? For goodness sake, Microsoft, post some info for the ordinary man in the street without whose custom you'd go bust.

I am a big defender of Windows and especially Vista, however it looks like MS is up to no good again. When SP1 installed it killed my Firefox. Shame on you, IE is rotten, Firefox is my preference, so why do you keep attacking the other browsers, I know you will way we don't but your court cases say otherwise. Let me use Vista and the browser I prefer.

circulotito, please see my Windows Vista SP1 FAQ here on how to get support for your Windows Vista SP1 installation issues:

There are Microsoft support agents better equipped to help troubleshoot your issue. This isn't the right spot for tech support.

I have a Dell T5400 Vista x64 and after installing SP1 I get a lot of blue screens related with system_service_Exception, bad_pool_caller and others.

The problem was the Dell mouse suite preinstalled with the computer. The solution is uninstall SP1, uninstall mouse suite, upgrade the video drivers and apply SP1.

You can see the process here:
