Vista SP1 on my laptop

I recently noticed Vista SP1 on Windows Update. It has been nagging me to no end trying to get me to install it. Does anyone know of any compatibility issues, bugs, etc? Thanks.
P.S: Windows Vista Home Premium x86-32, currently no service packs installed. I have OS X Leopard.
Thanks!

My guess is that people with newer MacBooks would tend to have
more problems due to lack of support for BootCamp from Apple, but better luck or good luck with SP1.
There is an SP1 newsgroup and support.

Vista SP1 update - Error code 0x8007312

After not being able to install Vista SP1 x86 from Windows Update on 32-bit ASUS laptop, I downloaded the stand alone Update to a flash drive, disconnected from the internnet, turned off the firewall, exited Defender and w/no anti virus running
tried to install, same error message w/link to
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=101139
Downloaded to flashdrive and ran Reset Windows Update Tool and System Update Readiness Tool KB947821 w/clean boot, then downloaded SP1 update Windows6.0-KB936330-X86-wave1 from your site
(the other was .........wave0.exe), but still got the same error code 0x8007312 when I tried to Update. What do you suggest I do next? Thank you..

Treo Pro will not sync with Vista SP1

I'm really hoping somebody can help me here. I just replaced my aging 700p with the long-awaited Treo Pro (Sprint). I've actually been looking forward to getting fully Windows-based, since my 700p syncing was routinely problematic - always having to do workarounds and plug in the cord just the right way, etc...
Let me try to give you the flow so far.
I have Vista SP1
I get Treo Pro
I plug Treo Pro into Vista, SP!, all ready to sync up my Outlook 2007 data.
Treo Pro fires up a very impressive looking installation routine.
Routine seemingly works fine - getting me to the point where you unplug and reconnect your device to do your first sync
I reconnect, and hear the Windows "USB connect" sound, then.... nothing.
I open WMDC and it says "not connected"
I open "USB to PC" on the Treo, and uncheck the "advanced networking" box as suggested by some other posts.
Windows sees the difference and installs a couple of other drivers.
Windows connects, gives me the "USB connect" sound, and WMDC says "not connected"
The Treo appears to attempt a sync, but finishes with a message "To synchronize this device, you must install ActiveSync 4.5 or newer on your desktop computer. "
HUH? ActiveSync only works with XP - of course I can't install that!
By the way, I tried the same thing with my Vista SP1 laptop. Same exact results.
Also, at no time have I seen the WMDC icon in the tray area. (I remember having a Nino way back when, and the ActiveSync icon was down there)
I thought this was supposed to be easy - Windows PC, Windows device. Piece of cake, right? Not so. If I cannot get this thing to connect, I'm getting a Centro! (not my first choice....)
A thought... any chance this could have to do with having Palm Hotsync still installed (from my Treo 700p)?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

On Windows XP, having HotSync installed didn't interference with using ActiveSync with a Treo 800w. This is not exactly the same as your setup, but close enough that I think HotSync is not likely to be the problem.
How did you install WMDC? The downloadable User Guide (PDF pp44-46) refers to running the PC Setup program. Did that part go as expected?
I don't use Vista, so I'm not familiar with the additional complications that might be involved...

ITunes 8.0.2 will not launch in Vista SP1

I have a new laptop with a clean Vista SP1 install. Tried installing iTunes 8.0.2, but after I double-click on the iTunes icon to launch it, it won't start. itunes.exe is in the task manager running, but the program will not run. The first time it shows me the user agreement, I click accept, but after that, nothing.
I did a search and found the kb article suggesting I delete the configuration files. When I went to the folder, there were no configuration files to delete. I tried a different ID, run as Administrator, and nothing. Quicktime installs and launches fine. I did a malware/virus check to be on the safe side, and that came back clean. Any suggestions?

Thanks, that was helpful. When I restarted just Quicktime, it launched, but I did not get anything on the screen, just the blank player. That led me to believe it was an internet connection problem. And when I said "clean install", I misstated that . It was clean until I installed some of my stuff, like my work VPN and ZoneAlarm. Turning off ZoneAlarm did the trick. I also re-ran the installation exes as administrator, not sure if that helped or not. I am importing my music library now....

Vista SP1: not showing up due to incompatability w/ drivers on 3000 N100

According to Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948343, Cause 5), Vista SP1 has "known problems" with certain devices & drivers, among them:
Biometric (Fingerprint) Sensors
• AuthenTec Fingerprint Sensor with the Atswpdrv.sys driver file – version 7.7.1.7 or earlier
Latest driver from Lenovo: 7.7.0.19 (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67300)
This, of course, is preventing Vista SP1 from being deployed to my laptop. I use the fingerprint reader frequently, and do not want to lose functionality of it, though it is somewhat problematic. Is Lenovo aware of this, and is an updated driver forthcoming, or....?
edit: I forgot to mention, I have downloaded a "newer" driver from HP; their Atswpdrv.sys driver file is 7.9.0.4, which is newer. I may be able to replace the file in question, thereby updating the driver file. I don't see a way to attachthe file here, but AFAIK, simply updating the sys driver file shouldn't affect anything, but should allow SP1 to work, right? I've just done this, will reboot and let everyone know....
edit #2: GOOD NEWS! Replacing just the sys file didn't work; using the "update driver", and allowing it to use the .inf from HP to install the driver, updated it to 7.9.0.4, and SP1 now shows up under Updates.
Now, when will LENOVO catch up so no one has to do this work-around? BTW, if anyone else needs this, simply reply to this post and I'll upload the files somewhere.

Instructions:
Download the HP file from here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-56164-1&lc=en&cc=us&lang=en...
You'll need to extract the files using WinRAR (WinZip will not work); you'll need to download and install WinRar (www.rarlabs.com), then right-mouse on the file you downloaded in step 1, select "extract to" and choose a destination.
Go to Device Manager, select the Authentec AES2501A, choose "update driver", and browse to the location you extracted the files to in step 2.
Voila! Do not run the install file, as it's designed for HP/Compaq computers, of course, so I don't know what it would do. However, I now have Vista SP1 installed and all apears to be running normally.

Vista SP1 & Startup Disk

I just updated my copy of Vista to SP1, and my Windows volume no longer shows up as a possible startup volume in Startup Disk. If I boot holding the option key down, the Windows volume shows up and I can select it and boot from it. It's just a pain to have to keep holding down the option key. Anyone know a cure?

Actually, it's not too peculiar, as Microsoft has changed the startup strategy on the latest SP1 disks and they don't work on Macs.
Here's what I had to do to get Vista Ultimate 64-bit working on my 2006 Mac Pro. Note that I installed to a separate disk, not a partition on my OS X disk.
- I used an older non-SP1 upgrade disk that I had from my laptop and did a FULL install, without entering the product key. Note that Vista complained about my hard drive and partition being non-compatible or somesuch nonsense - to get around it, I had to physically remove my OS X hard drive from the computer - Vista was then happy with that same hard drive/partition that it complained about previously
- After installation, I applied the 63 available updates (not including SP1). No matter what I did, Windows update would not download SP1. The trick here is to disable all devices that are in error - i.e., the devices which are missing drivers (like bluetooth).
- Once all the devices with errors are disabled, SP1 popped up in Windows update and I downloaded it.
- Before installing SP1, I activated Windows using the product key from my Vista SP1 package (not the upgrade disk I used for the installation!).
- Now, since I have a 2006 Mac Pro, neither my included Tiger installation disk nor my Leopard installation disk has the required 64-bit Boot Camp software and drivers. Fortunately, I have access to a 2008 Mac Pro installation disk, so I used it to install Boot Camp v2.0 64-bit. Doing that fixed all of the missing driver issues I had, including bluetooth and keyboard issues.
- I then downloaded the BCUpdateVista64.exe file and installed it, which updated Boot Camp to version 2.1.
Done! Everything is working very well.
Good luck!

WRT110 and Vista SP1 - additional log on information is required to connect to this network...

Setup WEP 64bit . WinXP SP3 and iPod Touch connect fine but when I select the SSID via Vista it doesn't give the network option. How can I get the network propt option to appear.
[img]http://www.auburn.edu/oit/connectivity/wireless/images/new_connectionsVista10.jpg[/img]
"additional log on information is required to connect to this network
You may need to select a certificate or enter a user name and password to connect to this network."
[img]http://www.auburn.edu/oit/connectivity/wireless/images/new_connectionsVista11.jpg[/img]
I updated to the lastest firmware with no luck.
Using WRT110 firmware Ver. 1.0.04 (build 10).

toomanydonuts let me clarify again:
-XP SP3 desktop = able to connect.
-iPod Touch = able to connect.
New Vista SP1 laptop = NOT able to connect and DO NOT get a prompt to enter a Network Key. Instead I get:
"additional log on information is required to connect to this network
You may need to select a certificate or enter a user name and password to connect to this network."
here is an example screen shot of the above message (found on another web site).
http://www.auburn.edu/oit/connectivity/wireless/images/new_connectionsVista11.jpg
Then Vista SP1 as me to enter a user name/password/domain. This is a home network.
http://www.auburn.edu/oit/connectivity/wireless/images/new_connectionsVista12.jpg
No prompt for Network Key (on VISTA SP1).
My WRT110 is running the lastest firmware Ver. 1.0.04 (build 10).

Error 1935 - unable to install Reader 8.1.2 on Vista SP1

I know that others have posted on this issue, but neither of the suggested fixes have worked for me. The 'fsutil' command prompt had no effect, and Ghaurav's suggestion of defeating the uninstall by copying all the files from the directory and replacing them resulted in an 'invalid plugin' error every time I tried to start Reader.
Is anyone from Adobe monitoring this forum? Any others out there having this problem, or have a fix?

OK, the final chapter. Microsoft tech support had me run a system file checker utility. The command line is 'sfc /scannow'. The utility reported that I had corrupt system files, but I still have no idea how that happened. I was unable to roll back the installation of Vista SP1, so I ended up reinstalling Vista (and every other program I have) from scratch. It took a full day of installing, upgrading restoring my backed up files, but I ended up with a clean version of Vista SP1, and the adobe problem is gone.
Does this story have a happy ending? No. I decided to run SFC on my laptops. I have corrupt system files on my office laptop, and it's interfering with installing XP SP3. No other symptoms, so I'll ignore XP SP3 for as long as I can.

I have an airport extreme and my computer runs Microsoft windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. I receive an error message saying " airport requires that your computer is running windows xp sp3 or windows vista sp1 or newer"...why?

Vista SP1 + VGA adapter on Macbook Pro

Problem: Attach a vga monitor via a dvi to vga adapter, the vga screen is black.
Tests: Attached a DVI monitor (Mac 20" screen) - passed.
Tried another dvi to vga adapter - failed.
Tried another VGA based monitor - failed.
Vista does chime when the dvi to vga adapter is plugged in and I'm able to see a second display on the control panel and select a resolution. The display does work when I've booted in mac os x, or while vista is booting with the 640x480 startup screen. I've used another macbook pro 15" with the same setup and it works... so I would have to assume this is a problem with the hardware.
Setup: Boot Camp 2.1 with Vista SP1
Model name: MacBook Pro 15"
Model identifier: MacBookPro1,1
Processor name: Intel Core Duo
Processor speed: 2.16 ghz
Number of processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 2 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP11.0055.B08
SMC Version: 1.2f10
Does anyone have any suggestions for this issue?
Thanks-
Bruce

Hi
i did what you said and tried with other resolution/refresh rate combinations, also with anoter external monitor (and vga cable) but its still the same: monitor is detected but there's no signal.
Now I will try to chek if the adapter works on other pc and monitor.
Thanks
(anyway it was the firs time i connect this mac to an external monitor)

Is it related?I can not say it is related with 100% certainty.
You can conclude I had a REALLY lucky guess or there is high correlation between VM & having TNS-12535 error.
It is your system & you are free to (ab)use it any way you choose to do so.
We both know SQL*Net can & does work as advertised, but requires a properly configured OS & Network underneath it.

Safari 3.04 Beta and Windows Vista SP1 Beta

I recently had to re-install my system because of a hardware problem. After I installed Vista Ultimate I then installed Vista Ultimate SP1 Beta.
Previously I had just Windows Vista installed without SP1 and Safari worked. Now that I have installed SP1 Beta, Safari will not load. I get an immediate error message that Safari has stopped working.
Has anyone else encountered this problem. If so, can it be fixed?
Thanks.
Roy

Exactly the same issue here. All was working fine until Vista SP1 beta was installed. I updated from 3.03 to 3.04 but still no go. Also tried uninstalling then reinstalling to no avail.
Apart from this have not seen any other issues relating to Vista SP1 Beta.

'Windows cannot install required files' error while installing Vista SP1

I'm installing Vista Client SP1 on my Macbook pro and getting the following error:
Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation.
Almost exactly as described in this KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930984/ except my error code is 0x80070017. I'm double-checked CRC on my dvd to ensure it's not corrupt. Also I've previously successfully installed Vista SP1 from the SAME DVD on a different Mac Leopard (desktop)
Any ideas? This is a new Macbook pro, just got it yesterday. Could be DVD drive issue?
Thanks!

Did you get far enough to delete the FAT partition BootCamp created, so you could create a new NTFS one?

I have the same problem, and the funny thing is, the Bluetooth dongle works fine with my old Sony Ericson phone. So the problem must be the Nokia Suite?

TV tuner cannot be used in Vista SP1 - Qosmio G

Hi
I have installed the Vista SP1, and when I try to see TV in media center, it says that "a required windows media center component is missing" or something like that.
When I try to configure it in the settings, it says that the hardware was not detected, and I have it installed, I can see that in the device manager.
Does some one have the same problem or have any ideas about how can I solve this?
Thanks,
Rafael

Hi
I have googled a little bit to find out what this error message could mean but it looks like this error is not specific.
This mean that different reasons could causes this issue
In you case I presume that the SP1 is not fully compatible with the TV tuner driver or the TV tuner does not work and could be recognized by MCE due to the tuner driver malfunction.
Sp my first advice would be the Tv tuner reinstallation.
Firstly remove the old driver from the device manager and then after a short reboot install the new downloaded driver.
Good luck

Vista SP1 on my laptop
