I'm running Vista Ultimate. Unlike others, I've had no problems at all. In fact, it has blown XP away in performance and stability.

So I figured I'd install SP1 yesterday to make it even better. WRONG. After some initial install issues, two of my apps crashed upon startup.

I uninstalled SP1 and everything is working fine again.

SP1 has SO MANY PROBLEMS that Microsoft created a toll free line with free support just for SP1.

I had two other Windows updates waiting to be installed. SP1 did not show up untill I installed the two Windows updates. Just hit the ALT key to get Tools to show up. Go to tools > Windows Updates and manualy run them.

That is odd. Sorry that I could not help. I feel for you as I am having a steep learning curve with Vista.

I heard M$ is offering free support for installing this update - LMAO!

Is it really that bad?
