You won't get the download indication if you have not installed the prerequiste updates. I recommend using the standalone installer available at MS downloads anyway.

It could be a driver issue. If you have an incompatible driver, then your probably won't see it through Windows Update. I'd still try installing the standalone and dealing with the driver issue afterwards. Here is a read that provides some info on the driver problem.

Installed SP1 last night as well using standalone installer. I have a Dell E521 and before I could install SP1, I had to upgrade my sound card driver. After that.....no problems....PC seems brand new again....let's see how long that will last!

So why does MS give this ominous warning?

"DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD IF YOU ARE UPDATING JUST ONE COMPUTER: A smaller, more appropriate download is available on Windows Update."

I cannot see SP on Windows update either even after reinstalling Windows a couple of days ago AND applying all the latest updates. Oh well. Downloading SP1 now as I type...
