Windows Vista SP1 Part 6 - the X60 saga continues

Thanks to Kevin, I was able to download the right UPEK driver (version 2.9). Not sure how I missed that one. I installed it last night using the device manager upgrade function. The tcusb.sys version is now 1.9.2.111. The fingerprint sensor seems to be much more responsive, especially when the system comes out of resume.

I tried to install the exe version of the Intel driver pack version 1.58, but it claimed that my system was not compatible. I then downloaded the .zip version of the driver pack (download link). Unzipped it and followed the manual update instructions for the graphics driver found here. I am now running version 7.14.10.1437 of the 945 graphics driver. Currently under Vista without SP1 my brightness bar does show up when I press fn + Home. 

I then ran Windows Update hoping to get the SP1 update to show up. It found a newer Intel graphics driver, when I went ahead and installed the driver I was reverted to 7.14.10.1329, so I went back and manually installed 7.14.10.1437. Re ran Windows Update, same message no SP1.

I then went back to the MS KB 948343 (link) to install and rerun CheckSUR to make sure that the Windows Update search is not corrupted. No errors were found. Re ran Windows Update, same optional update for the Intel Graphic driver. I wonder where they check for version since 7.14.10.1437 is clearly newer than 7.14.10.1329.

I may install the SP1 update manually tonight, if I have time.

Thanks for your excellent detailed posts on how to get SP1 to install on the ThinkPad X60. I did exactly as you stated, updated the 2 device drivers and then the Intel Graphic Driver come up in Windows Update as a false positive. I decided to hide the Intel Graphic Driver update, ran Windows Update again and boom SP1 appeared. I'm downloading now, hope all goes well.
