Acer Computer Cannot See SP1 On Windows Update Site.
Mar 31, 2008I have an Acer M5620, Intel Quad Core Q6600 computer, running Vista Home Premium.
It has all available updates but when I go to the Windows Update site it does not show Vista SP1 , just says there are no new updates available.
I am about to go buy XP Pro and get rid of this dreadful OS, I was only keeping Vista until I could see if SP1 made a difference in the way it runs, but if I can't even access SP1 then there's no point keeping it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMicrosoft Taking Official Petitions To Keep XP Alive
May 30, 2008If you can remember back a few weeks, Steve Ballmer went on record saying that Microsoft would consider extending the life of Windows XP if enough people asked for it. Afterall, many people don't want to upgrade to Windows Vista because they are perfectly content with XP. The problem was there was no way to ask for it. Sure, you could sign one of the many online petitions, but Microsoft considers those "non-official complaints" and the rest of us simply consider them silly.
Well, word has been passed down to the tech support teams (and then on to Neowin) that they are to begin logging any calls that come in for the sole purpose of requesting an extension to the retail life of Windows XP. The calls will be logged and, if enough complaints are filed, Microsoft will consider giving XP some more time (no pinky promises, though). If you wish to file an official petition yourself, you can simply call the Windows XP Home Edition support numbers for your country and let the operator know that you wish to file an official complaint. Because we're so nice and want to save you the trouble, here are the numbers for a majority of Neowin's visitors
System Tray Official Terminology Common Use
Jun 27, 2008In Vista, there is a bar across the bottom of the screen. It contains tiny icons. The ones on the left are frequently used but currently unrunning programs. The ones in the middle represent running programs. The ones on the right represent system tasks, e.g. screen/keyboard/mouse/volume controls. So questions. What do you call this thing? Do you have names for the three sections? Are there equivalents on other OSes/GUIs? What are they called there? I have heard the terms "system tray" "task bar" "notification area".What precisely do each of these terms refer to? I am interested both in official terminology and common use.

Dec 27, 2009I'm a Windows Vista Ulitimate 32 user since 2008. I've always updated the system using "Windows Update" but since two weeks ago, the system jut don't show the list of updates available.

Jun 10, 2010I click Start, then Windows Update - nothing, it just locks up as a blank screen. It's not listed as a Program on Control Panel I've tried to download it, but it won't download. I've searched other sites, nothing helps. I restored the PC to a about month previous (5/12/2010) - nothing.I have Comcast and they replaced McAfee with the Norton Suite and that is what I'm using, not Windows protection software. Could that affect the use of Windows Update?What would you recommend?

May 4, 2008Something is dead wrong with my Vista Premium. Whenever I open the Windows Update panel, an empty window appears for an instance, and then Windows Explorer crashes and restarts. On top of that, Windows Update crashes on occasion by itself for a couple of times and then settles down. I did check the disk for errors, ran the scanners, manually installed most relevant updates I could find including the System Update Readiness Tool, also renaming the software distribution folder and resetting ie7 -all in vain.

Its booting all fine from my desktop but not from my laptop. All i am getting is the bootmgr error. Its not even letting me into the BIOS. When I try to press any function keys, i get error beeps. For the hell of it, I tried to boot from the Windows XP bootable as well and even from Linux Fedora bootable...Did anyone get anything like this. If yeah and you were able to solve the whole thing out, please be kind enough to share the solution.

However that is not so in my case, the new Window opens behind and at times I don't even know the new Window has opened because it is behind and hidden from view.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUpdate Vista Sp Not Presented
Mar 23, 2008When I checked Windows Update today, 2nd Tuesday of March, I found only one new Vista update (.5 MB) which actually has a date of Feb 12th. I thought SP1 would be available today for the "first wave (English)" version. I'm using Ultimate installed by the manufacturer and have kept it up to date (except for hiding unneeded updates like the foreign language stuff and the test for counterfeit versions). Microsoft has a web page listing the SP1 roll-up files which also says that the service pack will contain additional files not in the list: "This document contains a list of these updates with links to their descriptive web pages on. There are other updates in Windows Vista SP1 which have not be released as updates and therefore are not presented in this list."
