    Using Windows Vista 32 or 64-bit?
     
    How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or the 64 bit version of the Windows operating system.
     
    I would say you can download service pack 1 manually, install on your computer and check the status of the issue.
     
    If you are using Windows Vista 32-bit, you can download service pack 1 from the following link.
    Windows Vista Service Pack 1 five language standalone (KB936330).
     
    If you are using Windows Vista 64-bit, you can download service pack 1 from the following link.
