I can't work out how I update my Vista (a legal OEM copy of Home Premium) to Service Pack 1. I'm trying to update it because GTA4 is refusing to play without it.

I have downloaded all the important and recommended updates from the Windows Update thing (I think there were 53). All the updates I have left are clearly nothing to do with SP1 (Silverlight/Office/Media Centre/Windows Mail updates). What do I need to do to get it?

EDIT - The Office SP1 has nothing to do with the Vista Service Pack does it? My version is 6.0.6000 Build 6000

Should come through Windows Update - Make srue you haven't hidden it?

If you right-click on your PC it should say:

Microsoft Vista Home Premium
Copyright blahblahblah
Service Pack 1

if you've got SP1

Is there a way I could have hidden it so it wouldn't come up in the updates search? Really strange because I had the identical issue trying to get XP SP2 on my old PC and had to download the standalone to find it, may be something I'm doing?

You can hide it, but i'm not sure how in Vista.
