What you should know before you install Service Pack 1
Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) is the newest version of Windows Vista that contains all the updates that Microsoft has released this past year. None of these updates add any features that might require you to learn something new. Windows Vista SP1 simply makes your computer more reliable, makes your computer run more smoothly, and makes your computing experience more enjoyable. And it does all this at no charge.
Before you install Windows Vista SP1, you should know the following:
- The installation might take an hour or more. Therefore, if you are installing Windows Vista SP1 on a laptop, make sure that you plug in the power cord.
- During the installation, your computer will restart several times. Therefore, save your work, and close all open programs before you begin.
- After the installation, occasionally a sound device or some other hardware device may no longer work. If this occurs, just install an updated driver for the device. To do this for a sound device, follow the steps in Knowledge Base article 948481Â

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
