The link is taking me to the Microsoft.com search page.
Anyway,press `Windows key+Pause/Break`.In the new window that opens,check
the field `System type` to know whether the o. s. is a 32-bit or a 64-bit
one.
By means of `downloading the service pack 1`,I assume that you meant to say
that you downloaded the standalone comprehensive installation file.Please
tell if that is not the case.

I downloaded the SP1 for Vista Home Basic on a Toshiba laptop and it
installed smoothly.
I copied this SP on a flash drive and transferred it to my Dell 280 which
has Vista Ultimate but this failed to install and says go to
http://go.microsoft.com/?Linkid=101139.
The download is apparently 64 bit and I do not know if my system is 32 bit.
All other updates have been obtained from the Microsoft update site and
automatic updates.
Is SP1 different for Home Basic and Ultimate ?
Please help.

Service Pack 1 arrived in my updates this morning.

'Onya

Hi Hiren,
Yes, I downloaded the standalone comprehensive installation file which was
433 mb. This installed very smoothly on Vista Home Basic and improved the
performance of the system. My Vista Ultimate is on 32 bit
Thanks for your help.

Farid

Forgive my ignorance, but if I'm getting critical updates anyway then why
the delay with with Service Pack 1? Do I really need it? What am I getting
in SP1 that I'm not getting in by way of critical updates

SP1 is not yet mandatory. It is an upgrade and not just an update.
However, after a period of time you will no longer receive security updates
unless you have upgraded. Besides a rollup of previous security patches,
SP1 includes some hotfixes that were previously only offered by Product
Support Services under special conditions and some new functionalities.
Please see the release notes for SP1 to see what it contains.

My question...."Service Pack 1 - how much longer?" show me the definitive
answer.

I'm sure you'll find a newsgroup for unhelpful wiseasses like yourself if
you look hard enough. Try looking at some of the other posts in this thread
for an idea of what informative useful help looks like. This may help you in
the future.

There isn't one, you idiot. How many ways can one tell you that to
