===== ===== ===== =====

Microsoft has released a service update for all versions of its Windows 
Vista operating system.

The computer giant claims that the update improves the stability, 
security and performance of the software.

The update, or service pack, includes some fixes released before now and 
adds many new ones as well.

Microsoft has warned that the update could clash with some security 
software and other programs customers may have installed on their machine.

Handy help

Those using Vista can download the update directly from Microsoft or 
wait for it to be automatically installed on their machine in mid-April.

On the Windows Vista blog, Nick White, Microsoft's product manager for 
the software, said those installing Service Pack One (SP1) may have to 
download and install some other "prerequisites" before the update can be 
applied.

The pre-requisites are generally updates to other programs or components 
of Vista to ease the passage of SP1.

Mr White also warned that some device drivers may also have to be 
refreshed before SP1 can be installed. Old drivers from RealTek AC, 
Intel and Symantec are known to stop SP1 being installed.

Advice about drivers and prequisites is provided on the Vista blog and 
in support articles.

In late February Microsoft released a list of programs that SP1 could 
break when it was installed. Among those listed were anti-virus programs 
from BitDefender and Trend Micro.

A spokesman for Trend Micro said the issue had now been resolved.

Some other programs, such as Iron Speed Designer, will stop working when 
SP1 is installed. Others, such as the The New York Times Reader, will 
also lose some functions.

Vista SP1 is being released initially in only five languages - English, 
French, Spanish, German, and Japanese. Another 31 will follow in 
mid-April when the software starts being pumped out to those that have 
their PCs automatically updated.

Microsoft recommends that Vista users go to Windows Update to get the 
service pack rather than use its download service.

The version available via Windows Update is only 65 MB in size (compared 
to 434MB via download) and can diagnose driver problems before installation.
