Vista Service Pack 1

Not sure if this is the exact place I should be posting this, but here goes anyway.
I tried searching for anyone that possibly had troubles with this SP within Boot Camp, but I had no luck (tried a couple of variations, but the search still came up with hundreds of posts containing 1's...etc.). So, has anyone had or has heard of anyone having troubles with this Service Pack in Boot Camp? I would greatly appreciate any/all/comments relating to ANYTHING problematic that I may run into by installing this SP 1 for Vista.
Edit: I'm asking this because supposedly I'm not being offered this SP through windows updates because of hardware that is supposed to have difficulty with the servie pack. But at the same time, on the Windows Vista discussion board, there are those who also were not offered the SP through Windows update, but they downloaded it and installed it manually and everything was fine.
Thank you for your time.

Ditto.
I won't even think of applying OS X updates until they are out a week anymore, with even more backups and "hand wringing" and have been (knock on wood) been satisfied with Vista's updates since it went beta nearly 18 months ago. (Applying updates and configuring seems to be done during shutdown and startup, not while the system is live and running, which has to be safer method).

Adobe Photoshop CS4 Full Version and VISTA Service Pack 2

I have brought CS4 Full and recall seeing VISTA Service Pack 1 as requirement. I keep getting prompted by my computer to download and install Service Pack 2. What to do:
1. Install Photoshop on current setup (SP 1) and then upgrade to SP 2
2. Install SP 2 and then load Photoshop
Thanks for any insight.

SP2 is very stable, uses less ram, and also less hard drive space. If you have not installed CS4 yet just do the SP2 update then CS4. Don't forget to update CS4 to 11.0.1.
Also either way you want to install works. I installed SP2 with PS CS4 on the system and there were no problems running CS4 afterwards.

When will Best Buy offer Vista Service Pack 2?

It looks like all the Vista PC's on bestbuy.com have service pack 1. Microsoft released Service Pack 2 on May 26. When will Best Buy PC's come with Vista Service Pack 2 installed? It is hard for a person to upgrade to SP2l themsevles?

When you purchase your computer from best buy with optimization service (or for an existing PC) the update to SP2 is done during The optimization. At least at my precinct we do.

Windows Vista Service Pack 1

Company I work for just got some new MSDN CD & DVD's and included in the pack was the official Windows Vista Service Pack 1 DVD. Just curious if anyone else has tried it with Boot Camp and had any issues? Was considering installing it but just wanted to check the forums to see what's up.

The general public release of Vista SP1 is out today and supposedly available through Windows Update, yet it does not appear as an available update when I check for it. Microsoft says that will happen in a number of cases, one being if there are incompatible drivers installed (which Microsoft knows about presumably). I'm wondering if anyone running Vista via Boot Camp has been able to access SP1 through Windows Update. It can also be downloaded, but I don't want to try it if it's not going to work. Another problem might be that I only have around 1.75 gigabytes left on the Windows partition. Any advice appreciated.

Vista Service Pack 2 incompatible with Acrobat 8.1.6?

On 6/13/09 I installed Vista Service Pack 2 and then around 6/16 or 6/17 I installed the 8.1.6 Acrobat update. By 6/18 I could no longer print to PDF from any application; even printing a test page failed. I tried re-installing Acrobat this morning, but I am still getting error messages in the Adobe PDF print queue. Everything seemed to work fine with the Adobe PDF printer before the 8.1.6 update, so I am guessing that there is some kind of incompatibility latent in Vista Service Pack 2 that is now actively preventing printing to the Adobe PDF printer. I would rather not have to use another PDF printer, though I did download one that seems to work for now, until the Acrobat issue is resolved.
Has anyone else experienced this, or found a solution? Thanks!

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with SP2 installed and use Acrobat 8 Pro.     Recently Acrobat Pro 8.1.6 installed automatically and I then began having problems with producing a document from my scanner (EPSON CX3200 all in one).   My system is all up to date, drivers, programs, and Windows, Norton 360 etc.    After debugging I found I was having problems with the ADMPlugin.apl....repeat ADMPlugin.apl...NOT ADMPlugin.api.
I ran repair several times on my Adobe Acrobat and nothing changed. I read the knowledge bases and found that the ADMPlugin.apl was causing other problems with other users also.    Since my ADMPlugin.apl file was NOT updated with the latest Acrobat update it remained dated 5/10/2007.
I went into my Acrobat Reader 9.0 directory and found the ADMPlugin.apl dated 2/27/2009 and copied it to my Acrobat Pro 8.0 directory and now everything is working fine.   I would suggest anyone research the ADMPlugin.apl problems.
The same day I solved this problem, Windows Vista updated SP3....(when will it end?) but everything is working fine for me now. Stay tuned.
From my own experience with Adobe programs and Windows.....almost everytime there is a major update, there are problems with the same programs or often their interaction with other programs. On the bright side! I learn the how's and why's of all this stuff and at least can carry on a somewhat intelligent conversation with other users. Hope this helps...good luck.
P.S. ADOBE-----perhaps you should check that ADMPlugin.apl with an "L" in the SPPlugins Folder.

Sync Problems After Installing Vista Service Pack 1

I just installed Vista service pack 1. Hotsync ceased to work. So, after checking Palm online help, I downloaded and installed Desktop 6.2 and Hotsync 7. The instructions said not to uninstall my previous version of Desktop 4.2 and Hotsync 6.01. After completing the installation, I find that my data had not been moved to the new location and that some Hotsync items had changed such as Quick Intall to Install. And, I still can't Hotsync. So, here's a series of questions:
How can I get my data over to Desktop 6.2?
Do I want to move the data over or should I reinstall Desktop 4.2? (I use an XP machine to print my schedule and usually simply copy the user folder from the Vista system to the XP system. There's no Vista print driver available for my hp printer.)
Is Palm trying to become Microsoft by changing where they store information to the confusion of a power user?
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Post relates to: Palm Vx

The version 6.2 of Palm desktop does not support your Vx.
Click here for the support page for 6.2; http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk62.html
The only handhelds supported are Palm TX, Z22; Tungsten E2.
You will need to install the version that is on the CD that came with the Vx. You will need to "clean" uninstall Palm desktop on the Vista PC in order to re-install the older version of Palm desktop.
First thing to consider is, where is the current data. On the device or in the PC?
If you have the data in Palm desktop 6.2, do an export of the data for backup. After the re-install of the older palm desktop, import the data for each category. Since you are still using the XP PC and has data on that system, you can export the data from that PC.
In Vista, the userfolder is in documents-palm os desktop. One caveat here, the data format in the 6.2 user folder is not compatible with the data format in earlier versions of Palm desktop so you cannot copy and paste the entire user folder into the older version of Palm desktop.
Here is a procedure for backing up your data.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
To do the "clean" uninstall on the Vista PC, here are the instructions.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
Disregard the first step above because your data is on the XP PC and we are just going to import the data.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
did not sync before create a hotsync name.

With Vista Service Pack 2 NO SOUND on HP530 with Conexant High Definition SmartAudio HD2.

Last night I installed Vista service pack 2. Now I get the message "No audio output device is installed".
Drivers are up to date - that is, there are no new drivers for this Vista release to be found (yet).
Tried to roll back as suggested in another post. However, no new driver was installed so no roll back.
It looks as if Vista SP2 needs new drivers from HP. Does anyone have any suggestions??
Btw, HP instant support reports "the information you entered is not of a currently supported mode". Bought that model 1,5 year ago..... ;-(

This is a worldwide issue with several audio drivers after a recent Windows update. Microsoft's website shows a disclaimer saying that it is not responsible and that we should approach the Original Equipment Manufacturer about the problem. Obviously, our OEM is HP who, to date, have neither communicated a fix to their customers, nor have they issued a recall. <text deleted>
Please see the other thread in this forum entitled: HP Quicktouch On Screen Display has stopped working and no audio output device is detected.

JFileChooser DFS and Windows Vista Service Pack 2

We updated a computer with Vista Service Pack 2 and now JFileChooser is not opening up links that are DFS.
To make sure it was not our app I tried using the JFileChooser Demo from Sun and I am still having the same issue. Java will allow me to quick but it will fail silently.
I have retried using the latest 1.6.0_14 (6u14) JDK and JRE but still no luck (Which says support Windows Vista SP2). Is there a bug with the JRE? We have reverted the computer to SP1 and are alerting our user base.
Is anyone else having this issue? Do I need to report it as a bug?
Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks,

I have verified that this does not work with Windows 7

Upgraded to Vista Service Pack 2 on my Satellite L305-S5955...now there's no sound!

Last night I upgraded to Vista Service Pack 2 and today it says I don't have a soundcard. Out of all of computers, this is my only Vista, so I'm having trouble fixing this problem.
I tried to upgrade the drivers from the Toshiba website, but it's not a driver issue; there is no card being recognized.
So, I used the "Add New Hardware" wizard to re-add the soundcard. Doesn't work.
I see lots of people having trouble with this. And also, when the sound was working, it was really quiet. I'd have to turn off the dishwasher, heat, laundry machines, etc to hear anything!
Hope someone can help me on this.

My Satellite A205-S5800 Is InCompatible With Microsoft Vista Service Packs

I don't know where Toshiba gets off saying they're compatible with the Vista Service Packs when they are most certainly NOT. I have had the SAME exact problem with SP1 & SP2. I bought this paperweight at Best Buy (NEVER shop there), with Vista Home Basic, and ran into problems one month later, when I tried upgrading to SP1 (via Windows Update). It rebooted, and then refused to load. I had to reinstall everything. Again and again this happened. I took it to Best Buy, and they told me it was a faulty hard drive. Replaced, the problems reoccurred again. So, Best Buy claimed it was the Motherboard. A fresh one installed, SP1 finally worked from stand alone download. For 9 months, no problem. Then I stupidly decided to update to SP2 (via Windows Update). The SAME exact problem. Files were corrupted. Restore points vanished. Always with reinstalling to original format. I get SP2 standalone to work, and then Microsoft Update tells me I need to update with something or other. Rebooting ONCE AGAIN prevents me from loading up anything. Bets Buy now claims it's a software issue.
So, 3 different problems caused the exact same problem. Always with Windows Update, and almost always with Service Packs. This is compatibility? Toshiba sold me a lemon, a giant paper weight. I cannot upgrade it to Service Packs, and who knows which update next will frell me over. Especially since Microsoft forces updates on us from time to time. I have every right to update this laptop to the latest Service pack or other such necessary update to keep my system secure. What happens when my vulnerable machine is hijacked and zombieifed by nogoodnicks, and the police come knocking at my door? After all is said and done, and they chastise me about not updating my system, do I tell them, "No, it's OK. Toshiba says it's totally cool not to. They think Microsoft Service packs are evil"? Believe me, this situation can and has happened before. Machines can be compromised, and police will think it's you first.
Now, who at Toshiba do I speak to about a refund/replacement? I Lemon Law (via California) you, Toshiba. You sold me a worthless hunk of junk, and that is unacceptable. I will not use a system that can't be updated because you don't like Service Packs and Windows Update. and money was not spent to not use a laptop.

I think your tinfoil hat is on too tight. If it was a problem with that model, then nobldy would be able to update Windows, and there would be thousands of posts all over the Internet.
Problems are usually caused by software, sometimes installed by the user, and sometimes installed without the users knowledge. What's the state of your malware protection? Have you scanned for rootkits?
You also might want to run the System Update Readiness Tool to find problems.

Vista Service Pack 2 install error message and Realtek incompatibility

Just want to inform that service pack 2 install gave me an error message when I installed it on a clean rebuild of my Toshiba laptop. Something about an incompatible driver. As I had already installed the latest drivers from Toshiba pages, I choose the 'ignore and continue' action at install, and the update successfully completed.
I then ran the Windows Upgrade advisor utility (just search a Microsoft website to find it) which checks for hardware/driver compliance with Vista.
Their report says that the Realtek RTL8187B wireless adapter driver has an issue with Vista, and recommends that the latest driver be installed. Since I do have the latest Toshiba driver installed, what is the procedure to follow?
The wifi connection with this laptop functions well, with the only 'problem' being a 45 second delay when waking up from sleep mode to being able to open a new web page. This is the time it takes to establish a connection to my router/modem.

> Their report says that the Realtek RTL8187B wireless adapter driver has an issue with Vista, and recommends that the latest driver be installed. Since I do have the latest Toshiba driver installed, what is the procedure to follow?
You could try the Realtek WLan driver from the Realtek driver page.
There you can find the latest Realtek drivers for different Realtek chips.
But to be honest I would not be worried about this massage.
Something like that can happens always after any installations of the Microsoft service packs.
I remember that many drivers were not supported by SP1 but they ran properly
So take it easy ;)

Vista Service Pack 1 breaks ability to join OSX 10.5 Server OD? (samba)

Can anyone confirm or deny this problem:
Vista SP1 is unable to join an OSX 10.5 server OD (samba domain).
Vista pre SP1 worked fine if you changed the LM authentication level to "use NTLMv1 and NTLMv2", but now that hack does not work anymore.
Does anyone have the same problem? Is anyone able to join Vista SP1 to OSX OD (samba domain)?
If you had a pre SP1 vista machine joined to a domain, and then installed SP1, that doesn't count. Once you install SP1 and try to rejoin the domain, it doesn't work. At least this is my experience.
Either a confirm or deny would be great, I can't get any answer on this problem. If you know the fix I'd love to hear it.
Thanks!

Hi Manne,
As your description, you come across an error when trying to install SQL Server 2008 express Service Pack 1 on windows XP Service Pack 3 machine. From your error log, I get the error(unable to read registry value). As my analysis, the issue could be due
to that your account doesn't have access to registry. Below are the recommendations for troubleshooting the issue.
1. Make sure that you log in as an administrator of the machine.
2. Please follow the steps below to make sure that you have granted the right permission to registry.
a. Located HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server in registry.
b. Right click and go to Permission, then you could see user accounts or groups. If your user account is not in the list, you could click Add to add your account there.
c. Select your account and Click on Advance.
d. Check on both check box ('Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent'.
and 'Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object'), click OK.
e. Click OK again.
Regards,

Vista Service Pack 1 wont install. Update keeps asking for it.

Installed Service Pack 1 with Windows Update. Update History says it was successful but it is not in the Installed Updates and Windows keeps asking for SP1 over and over. Vista SP3 is there.
I have tried to install it directly, I closed all security programs and fire wall. I looked to see if there is any missing updates. I've restarted the computer. I have followed all the instructions on the support site.
Service Pack 3 is installed.
I just don't know what to do.
I have Vista Home Premium 32bit

Hi
To be honest I never had any problems with my Vista updates
The Vista updates automatically every time when Im online and when new updates are available
How did you try to update the Vista OS?
Did you download the SP1 firstly to HDD or did you run an automatic update?
If the automatic update does not work try to download the SP1 firstly and then start the update procedure:
The SP1 can be downloaded here:

Windows vista service pack 1 keeps installing

My computer crashed, so had hard drive reformated and re-loading Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit. Doing all the updates via Windows Update, I get to Service Pack 1. It installs successfully, but won't move onto Service pack 2. I have like 10 supposed successful
installations of Service Pack 1. I even downloaded SP2 and of course it won't install because it says I have to install SP1 first. Read documentation, searched forums and didn't find an answer to this problem. I even downloaded "Mr Fixit" and this didn't help.
I'm somewhat technical, but not a pro. Can's figure this out. Can someone help or point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Maybe im just stupid... But NOTHING that anyone has posted here has helped me at all :P Could someone please explain to me what i need to do to install service pack 1 and 2... I could find someone named Betts83 on the forums that someone said i should
go to and read some posts i found 3 posts.... One that was this exact thread, one that was posted 1st of November and another one wich was posted in 2012... The one from 1st of November didn't help me... And it was the one people said i was suppose to go to
to get help, but it still didn't to anything. Im starting to get impatient because i want to install Assassin's Creed 3, but it requires service pack 2 or higher to run! Maybe because this thread is so old i probably wont get an answer but if someone
would help me fix it it would be much appreciated.
