Hi all, Just installed SP1 more or less successfully but lost my sound so clicked on the sound card in device manager & did an 'update' but I also have a Freecom 500gB external USB disk. I powered it on and got a blue screen but rebooted & every time I attach/disconnect it comes up with nastygram saying unrecognized USB device (and displays in device manager as such) so any ideas how I can resolve this. I vaguely recall having similar yonks ago & pointed it to System 32 or something for a driver but not sure now so any 'magic' would be good. Further testing of this service pack to happen but I hoped it would work fine & it is suppsoed to help slow file transfer etc which is primarily why I installed it. BTW, Vista home premium. Thanks in advance.

I recently bought a new USB keyboard only to find I just could not install it, no matter how I tried. I decided to try uninstalling SP1, after which the keyboard worked first time. So it is one update I will not be reinstalling. BTW -also Vista Home Premium

Interesting-I just bought this Vista machine-the techs at the shop installed SP1-didn't 
even ask me if I wanted it. But I have had to update practically every driver on 
this thing it seems like. If that were the case you think they would have done that, 
but then I was also choked because I paid them to take off the bloatware-and found 
registry keys with Norton (trial they were paid to take off), also traces of AOL. 
I am taking it in tomorrow so they can finish the job. I could have done it myself-but 
I was real busy-and figured  my time would be better spent preparing for my show. 
 
So not sure if SP1 is the reason-but even my graphics card driver had to be updated-most 
all of my USB. I had a terrible time installing my printer-scanner(one machine)-known 
issues for that-but I obtained the new drivers on the manufacturers website. 

Not sure if this is the reason-but I have  been going through Device Manager-one 
by one checking the drivers. Not sure if I am done yet. LOL. 

I have heard that drivers is a huge issue on Vista. I am no expert-and I have only 
had this computer for three weeks-still tweaking.

Well before you do anything else, try just uninstalling SP1 first and see if that makes any difference. You can always reinstall it again later if you want.

Well, if I had that kind of time I would consider that-SP 1 is about to be official-so 
I am not going to do that at this time. I thought perhaps my experience might be 
helpful for you.
