Why can’t Microsoft just tell us what the problem IS , instead of letting us try to figure it out by trial and error? Still doesn’t show up for me.

interesting.. my built in dell m6300 laptops fingerprint reader driver is on that list.. but when you have it search online – no new driver is available (until of course I go to upeks site and get one). then it took a removal of the old device and a rescan after the install of the new driver to get it to show the right version)

Hiding some Windows updates can cause SP1 to not show up. I had hidden the optional updates for the numerous language packs because I thought I would never need them. Restoring those hidden updates immediately made SP1 show up for me. Downloading now…

In Device Manager I checked for updates for all my devices and they are all up-to-date. However, still no SP1 in my WU. I’m running Vista Home Premium.
