Vista Service Pack 1 is definately available from Windows Update as that is
how I got it last time. The problem this time is that Widows Update doesn't
see it even thought I've downloaded all the updates that are required!
I don't particulary want to download the stand alone Service Pack as it is
over 700MB compared to the 131MB Windows update one!
I'm not sure why it isn't seeing it and am at a bit of a loss as to what to
do, other than download the stand alone one.
