Windows Vista SP1

Based on the Release Date of Windows Vista SP1, I believe most of Windows Vista users have upgraded their Window Vista to SP1. However, the upgrading process does not go smoothly for some of Windows Vista users. :???:

In order to settle Windows Vista SP1 upgrading problem, Microsoft released KB948343 support that explains why some of Window Vista users cannot search for SP1 through Automatic Updates and its solutions.

8 Potential Causes:

  1. You are already running Windows Vista SP1.
  2. Windows Vista SP1 has not been released for the language of the language pack that you have installed.
  3. Windows Service Pack Blocker Tool is used to block the delivery of Windows Vista SP1 from Automatic Updates or from Windows Update.
  4. You tried to install Windows Vista SP1, and the installation failed with a known inconsistency in the file or registry structure.
  5. A hardware device driver or device software was problematic when you updated to Windows Vista SP1.
  6. You have installed a prerelease version of Windows Vista SP1, and you must uninstall the prerelease version, or start with a new installation of Windows Vista.
  7. You used the third-party program vLite to configure the system, and you may have removed required system components that have to be available for Windows Vista SP1 to be installed.
  8. You see one or more updates for Windows Vista when you run Windows Update. However, you do not see Windows Vista SP1 listed.

Facebook Instant Messaging Service Preview (Video)

Let’s get some basic ideas of what Facebook chat is going to be.

The launch date for Facebook Chat is set in the nebulous area of “the coming weeks,” according to Product Manager Peter Deng.
