Installed SP1 last week after issues with IE7 not loading any pages reinstalled from OEM Disk and installed SP1 without any thing else on the machine have had no problems since

If you've got a technet/MSDN subscription, it's available for download. If you're a VL customer, you can get it from your Microsoft rep or your online download location (if you have such in your contract). These are the only current locations for the hotfix download.

Otherwise, you wait for it to hit WU or the MU catalog or the http://www.microsoft.com/downloads site, or get yourself a subscription to MSDN. I'm sure there are other ways to go about acquiring it, but in my country those are considered illegal - the board rules also consider using these ways to be illegal as well. Technically, you should see it in March or April, so if you've waited since November of 2006, you can probably wait another month or two .

SP1 is also available for download from the OEM Parter Centre for those OEMs which have not been on in a while

Made the plunge and moved to vista 64 bit, C2D w/ 4 gig of ram. everything flies, they only item i could not get working was my old creative webcam (driver issues and wasn't supported or going to be) got a cheap live cam and it works good. games are fast, response times in all applications are amazing. i have yet to run into an app that i cannot run which suprised me the most. Anyone on the edge, take the plunge it is worth it

I'll be working on mine this weekend!

Would you suggest making sure I have all my drivers ready before install? I have multiple hard drives, so no worries on that end, but other than your web cam, you run into anything else?

Thanks!

my Vista is up to date with all the patches, so do you suggest installing the standalone SP1 or through windows Update ??

Thanks.

If you get offered the update VIA WU i would update that way as it will not be as big of a download as the standalone package (aprox 1.2gb for standalone)

I have the MSDN version and its only 434MB.

[browney595]

ahh sorry i was thinking of the full download which includes the x86 and x64 img file which is available for MS OEM Partners

[Access Denied]

ahhhh B) I was wondering where the rest of mine was, lol.

[browney595]

Sure you could find the rest if you realy wanted it

Not easily, no. There are no public links other than those.

sign up at oem.microsoft.com with a live account and you can DL the wave0 installer since 22th February.

I've downloaded the ISO version but was wondering if I could use a program like MagicISO to install it or do I need to burn it to a cd/dvd?

Is it suppose to be 2.87GB in size?

[MagicAndre1981]

no it's only 1.1 GB and include both installers (x86 and x64) of the SP1. You can use MagicDisc or such a tool to mount the ISO.
