SP1 Not Offered In Windows Update
Apr 14, 2008
I have Creative Audigy 2, which according to a KB article, prevents Windows Vista SP1 from being offered in Windows Update. I read somewhere (I think it was a user comment on the Windows Vista Team Blog) that the only problem with the blacklisted drivers is that they effect SP1 setup, so temporarily disabling or uninstalling them will allow users to install SP1. Reinstalling the drivers afterwards should be fine. Is that correct? Well, I've disabled my onboard multimedia audio controller, uninstalled all Creative software on my computer and uninstalled the problematic driver. After rebooting and checking Windows Update again, I still do not see SP1, but I did see the Creative Audio driver as a recommended update, so I chose to make it _hidden_.
I'm certain that I have installed _all_ required and recommended updates (except for the Creative Audigy 2 driver that I just uninstalled). I've even installed those updates that I had hidden previously - one update was even related to iPod, which I don't have, but I installed it anyway. The only update that I haven't installed (other than my audio driver) is an optional update that I really hope isn't the problem: SQL Server 2005 Books Online. The other various recommendations that are stated in the Windows Vista SP1 KB article, the Windows Vista Team Blog and various forums and newsgroups, do not seem to apply to my situation.................

I have a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop. According to Windows Update the computer is up to date yet I have not installed SP1. Do I wait to be offered SP1 via windows update or install the stand alone package. I had a similar problem on my desktop and installed SP1 and got a BSOD and had to reinstall my backup image. I feel a little reluctant to go through all
that again.

I have a VAIO (SZ430N/B) and I was not offered SP1 via Windows Update due to having two drivers on hte "black list" (Sigmatel and the Fingerprint Swipe driver - forgot the name). Anyway, I downloaded SP1 full 5-language release and it installed without any issues at all. And my sound and fingerprint swiper works just fine.

I have been doing quite a bit of work trying to discover why auto-update is still not offering me SP1. My latest suspicion is that the presence of freebie 'Roxio Creator DE version v 9.0.116' (also apparently known as 'Roxio Easy Media Creator 9') might be the culprit. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium on a Dell Dimension 9200.

I have a strange situation. I purchased two identical machines on the same day 2 months ago for replacements in a small medical office. Both are running Vista Home Premium. Every day during bootup, one machine is offered SP1 via Windows update, while the other is not. Both machines have the same software loaded, set up the same (except computer name and user names etc).

I recently had to re-image my hard drive. I was running Vista Home Premium with SP1 installed. After the re-image I went to Windows Update and downloaded and installed over 80 updates. But I was not offered SP1 or SP2. My question is, do I need them? All of my original programs that I re-installed seem to be working right.

That is the message I get from the icon in my Vista tray. When I try to manually check for Windows Updates I get the message that I need to "first install an update for Windows Update". When I try to install that update for Windows Update, I get error code 80070643. There is a lot written about Windows Update error 80070643 having specifically to do with restarting the Office Source Engine for Microsoft Office 2003. HOWEVER, I do not have Microsoft Office 2003 installed on my system and this is not my issue! I am quite fearful at this point that I am vulnerable to all sorts of attacks considering that I haven't updated Vista for about 6 months now. This is not good.

Microsoft Update was first released a few years ago for Windows XP and Server 2003 as a great way to update all of your Microsoft software installed on your PC. Not only would it update Windows, but it would also update Microsoft Office. Are you a Microsoft Outlook user? If so, Microsoft Update would even download updated junk mail signatures when they are released.
In Windows Vista the new Windows Update application is no longer web-based. Microsoft has built-in the old Microsoft Update functionality into the new interface but you need to turn it on before you can use it. Follow these steps to turn on updates for other Microsoft applications: ...

I am updating my computer and I thought it was finish but my computer restarts and I encountered the death blue screen. I can't switch into safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with Command Prompt and Last Known good configuration.

It will just turn to blank screen with space at the upper left after if i will insert the installation disc.

The last time an update was installed was in January..since the next time i was offered an update, Windows Update or any of the programs that use windows update fail to update. Also i can't download the updates manually..standalone msu installers also dont work.. windows defender, IE8 installations also fail to update. And unfortunately i have deleted the recent system restore checkpoints before i knew about this problem. Windows Update gives error 80070002, i have tried the "solution" to delete temp update files, and all other solutions i could find on the internet. Windows defender gives the same error.
The updates can be downloaded from windows update, but cannot be download (not even manually in .msu package) I also lost many shortcut files of MS Office (the icon turned white and they lost their target). Some shortcuts of 3rd party programs are also lost (which were supposed to be in c:windowsinstallerlabla I have Windows Vista Home Basic with SP1 (SP1 came with the ssytem when i bought it). This is very weird. I have no other choice than to reformat drive and use recovery disk.

If you have installed Windows Mail on a Windows 7 computer,yesterday's update contains a KB978542 patch which changes msoe.dll so it won't run on Windows 7. I had warned about these types of issues when Win7 was first released. Microsoft claims it was done for security=20 reasons, see To get it working again, replace the new non-working copy of msoe.dll in Windows 7 with a copy of the new patched version of msoe.dll from a Vista machine.=20
Note: I ran into permissions issues when trying to delete the = non-working msoe.dll, so rather than fighting that, I renamed the Win7 Windows Mail directory to "Windows Mail-X", then I copied and pasted the Windows Mail directory from the Vista machine. I suspect that Windows Mail will = become less and less compatible with Win7 as time goes along.=20

I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit with NO SERVICE PACKS installed.
The only reason is because I can't get Windows Update to install the updates before I can fully install Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (then later 2)..
The problem is, If I run Windows Update, I get a blank screen and then if I wait about a minute or so I'll get something that says
I have a large amount of Updates to install, I think total the update's total to be 200 mb.
I had Windows Vista before and then now re-installed Vista, So I'm positive I don't have any trojans messing with Windows Update.
Also, My Computer also freezes of I hit the the button that says shut off the pc and install updates.

My automatic updates stop downloading since December last year.
I wish to know if there's a limit for support on that in my licence for DELL Inspiron 1501 but I didn't find anything on that matter.
There are 3 drivers that I cannot upgrade too and aren't working and they are on Network on Device Manager of mt Vista Basic and they are:
Microsoft 6to4 Adapter 10
Microsoft 6to4 Adapter 5
Microsoft 6to4 Adapter 7
that leads to :
c:Windowssystem32DRIVERS unnel.sys
No update is available and they say it's the best driver, but doesn't work fine!
Is there a reason for it related with the denied of Windows Update ?
The error I get, when trying to update is:
ERROR 80244026C ... teht leads to... ERROR0x80072efd.

SP1 would not appear for me in the Windows Update even though all hardware and software met MS' spec's for Vista. I did upgrade my sound card and software in order to meet spec's.
I decided to download SP1 from MS download page to get the standalone version. After waiting a couple weeks and reading this and other NG's I decided to install SP1. It installed with out a hitch. I didn't need to un-hook USB devices as was recommended in these NG's and I didn't need to disconnect my UPS. Mater of fact SP1 recommends that you connect to a UPS so you won't lose power while installing.
The only things I did disable where Windows Defender Fire walls and Virus autoscan protection. Every thing else was left as is.

My Windows Update doesn't show me the SP1 download. I went to the support page from Microsoft (Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is not available for installation from Windows Update and is not offered by Automatic Updates) where I snipped this: does that mean I need the driver displayed, or that SP1 doesn't work with the driver displayed?

It's been over a week since the release of the service pack and still it doesn't show up in my Windows Update. I know it was being released "in waves", but shouldn't the US have been first since MS is an American company? Does MS have a tool I could perhaps download to tell me if any of my drivers need to be updated? I remember there was a tool like this when WinXP came out.

I just built a new PC with Vista Ultimate 64 service pack 1 installed. When i run Windows update, it says "Windows is up to date" and no options for updates are available. There are no errors given. I am trying to install drivers for my graphics card (evga eGeforce 9600 GT in a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P motherboard) and when i restart I keep getting the Blue Screen of Death so I wanted to make sure and get all the latest Windows updates. The native Windows video driver works fine, but I want to use dual monitors.

I downloaded and installed the subject update. The first thing I observed was that my McAfee virus protection program became corrupted and had to be completely uninstalled and reinstalled.. I went thru that process and now find that my IE Browser no longer has the Popup control icon available. and I am experiencing Popup activity. How may I regain control of Popup activity as I have in IE 7? In addition I must sign in each time I enter the Browser in order to use my Bookmarks. Does
Microsoft consider this to be progress?

I recently ran a registry cleaner program (I think it was called pc tools or something) which also optimises your computer blah de blah. Anyway, after I Optimised it and cleaned the registry, I can no longer access windows update. When I try to open it, a window very quickly pops up and then promptly disappears. I tried uninstalling the program to undo the changes, but I think that was a wrong move. Update still doesn't work. I went to do a system restore, but that has also stopped working. Same thing, a window flashes up but then disappears. Also, when I right click on my desktop and click "personalise", the same problem occurs. Also if I go to Control Panel-System. I tried doing a windows repair but it said that there were no problems found. I would really like to avoid doing a full format and re-install because this computer is used at reception of the hotel my wife and I manage and any downtime with the computer can be a real pain in the backside with online bookings etc.
