Vista SP1

[fryc86]

I tried searching for the info but couldn't quite figure it all out. Basically SP1 never showed up in my windows update, I looked at my system properties and it is not installed. So I went to some of the recommended links to try and download it and it went all the way through all of the installation process and then at the end said that SP1 did not install and proceeded to revert to previous settings or some such thing. So I did some more searching on here and saw that if it isn't in my windows update then most likely there is a driver problem. Can anyone help me out on what the problem could be and if there is a way to fix it? thanks

Additional Windows Vista SP1 driver information for the Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo LA Notebook (Laptop)

Additionally, Windows update will not offer Windows Vista SP1 to Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo LA 1703 Notebooks that have a BIOS release date of March 14, 2008 or earlier. This corresponds to Bios Revision numbers 8.6T1-0023-M007 or earlier. This block reflects an incorrect power management setting that will be resolved in an updated BIOS revision.

Select Notebooks and AMILO La 1703. An updated BIOS (8.6 or a later version) will be posted soon.


So if you have any of these drivers you will not get SP1 to install. Will have to either disable the drivers or find a updated version.

Look in the optional updates. If there's any updates there, install those.

thanks. I got it installed now. Took more than I expected. Windows update did not fix the drivers and I didn't see the ones listed above as being installed anywhere. But I went into the drivers and updated them by hand. SP1 is installed now.

[Makaveli213]

Not on the list....hmmm. Should contact M$ and let them know what drivers you had to update so they can check those and possibly add them to the list.

Either way glad you got it installed.

[fryc86]

good idea, but I just went and did every single one of the drivers in the device manager. So I don't know specifically which one(s) it was. But yeah it's fixed now.
