Re: Vista SP1
John,
On another Vista PC, the "offending" driver was coming from an SBLive 24bit.
As I knew that it was the only issue I would have and that the worst that
could happen would be to reinstall the driver, I downloaded the whole SP1
package and forced its install.
Everything went fine.
The only thing I had to do later on was to restore the speaker configuration
(from 7.1 to 5.1) and re-enable the bass redirection and bass boost (no
reboot required).
I have also seen recommendations of completely removing the drivers, so that
the device cannot be "seen" by the OS, thus provoking SP1 to show up in WU.
Later on the device can be installed safely.
It seems that the real issue with those drivers is that Vista doesn't
re-enable them properly when SP1 install ends.
