I got the Windows Download Notifications email on March 21 - announcing SP1
general availability. I followed the directions to download SP1 for a single
PC. Windows Update tells me "Windows is up to date, there are no updates
available for your computer". Checked to be sure automatic updates had not
installed SP1 - nope, not there. Checked all the pre-reqs listed in the KB
articles - found none that applied to my computer. PC is a Dell laptop, new
in July with Vista preinstalled. Each time I go to Windows Update - nothing!
QUESTION: If Microsoft/Windows can scan my PC to determine if it is ready
for SP1 and they find an issue - why can't they give me a list of items that
are incompatible so I can find them and get them fixed??? Does anybody know
of a standalone program that will scan for all the incompatibilities
(drivers, etc.) that keep SP1 from installing?
