When I switched on my Vista Home Premium pc this morning a warning dialogue opened. 
I guess this was in readiness for SP1.

However as I had to get on with some work I just cancelled the dialogue assuming 
that if I did a reboot the warning dialogue will reappear. This does not happen.

Does anyone know how I can get this warning dialogue back?

Unless you are having specific problems which SP1 is known to fix, I'd strongly advise 
waiting until all the bugs have been fixed or workarounds and experience have developed. 
This usually takes 2 or 3 months.

Some will have a clean install, others are bound to have a troublesome experience 
- why take the risk ?

Good advice. After installing SP1 yesterday, the system crashed during a clean up routine. The second install of SP1 was successful, even the clean up. In the meantime two days were wasted. I'm sure glad I'm retired......and I sympathize with all you working folks out there.

Perhaps I did not make myself clear.

I did not say I was going to install SP1, but would like to look at the potential 
problems this warning identified.

Do you know how to resurrect this warning?

What did it say ?

Rather that just tell you how bad MS has made your life I will try to get you back running! With Vista you can clear the library of updates and reset it's registry. Go back and look for the thread on Feb. 14th, originally written by Barnum. See if that information will help. If you can get back to page 1 with this Try to get the majority of issues resolved before installing SP1. There is also a link below for the install of SP1 that should be read carefully before doing this. And for heaven's sake do not run the vsp1cln for a while till you have proven that your SP1 is doing well. vsp1cln will make Sp1 UNINSTALABLE! But it will give you back a big chunk of HD space if you do run it. http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsvista/en/library/417467e7-7845-46d4-85f1-dd471fbc0de91033.mspx?mfr=true

Charlie, Athegn has NOT installed SP1, she just wants the popup warning to reappear 
on her pc at bootup so she can actually read and understand what it said, so she 
is more prepared when she does get around to installing SP1.
Do you have any idea what warning popup dialog box she is getting? 
I  have not had any warning boxes on my pc and I haven't got SP1.

Sorry I cleared it too soon; but something about some software or drivers being "wrong"

Should have studied it before just clearing the dialogue

I was trying to help her get back to that point and also offer a caution if she went ahead with it?!?!?!?!?!?

Firstly A Thegn is a Viking word denoting a persons rank; Vikings were supposed to 
be very misogynistic what with all that raping and pillaging, so I have to be a he 
not a she:-) 

To add add to my earlier post it was definitely a Microsoft warning.
