Vista SP1 Breaking Some Programs

Just when you thought it was over with program issues on Vista... with the install of SP1, there are more issues with application compatibility. I know companies are working hard to get OS upgrades in place when SP1 is released, but is this going to change the game some? It might, but I would guess that many of the companies have time to get things worked out before the service pack is released to the public.

"Windows Vista Service Pack 1 contains many security, reliability, and feature updates for Windows Vista," the company said. "A program may experience a loss of functionality after you install Windows Vista SP1. However, most programs will continue to work as expected after you install Windows Vista SP1."

Head on over to a list provided by Microsoft of applications that are currently known to not work.

To be fair, 9/12 of those programs listed are noted to have a supported version.

I had a problem with the shock sensor utility that was released for the P1610 early last year when Fujitsu released all its Vista drivers. SP1 blocked it but Fujitsu have a new version dated from last December up on their website. I installed that and it worked straight away.

Omnipass also caused me some problems with SP1 (I ended up with all my users doubled up on the login screen) but this is an Omnipass problem I've encountered with past updates. To fix it I just had to uninstall and then reinstall Omnipass and reimport my profiles. No big deal.
