I'd love to install SP1, but windows update will never show SP1 available for me to download.
Why?
Well a bit of digging and it seems that I have a system that is not compatible with SP1, well one component in particular. My creative soundblaster audigy. To be even more exact file p17.sys.
MS have flagged this file as incompatible with sp1. At this time they have been no new drivers for my/this sound card since March last year. And it doesn't seem to be going to happen anytime soon, if not at all. Sure there are new compatible drivers for the X-Fi series soundcards, but why should I fork out money for a more expensive card, when I only listen to music and the clicks and beeps the Pc makes. The creative forums really have no information on this at all. Am I the only one with this card? Surely not!
Sure there maybe hacks and workarounds, but why should I goto the trouble of doing that, when it should just work for the "average user".
Pull your finger out creative, and get the whips cracking Microsoft. I'm not using old or outdated hardware, I'm using a soundcard that is still available at retail.
Evently MS will force everyone to update to SP1, I'll be ready, I really hope creative are!
