I received Windows SP1 on CD from Microsoft.
Installation appeared to complete successfully.
However, the installation is not shown in Installation
History, and subsequently running Windows Update on-line
shows SP1 as still outstanding.

Any clues, please?
 
Go to Start\Run and enter "winver". Does it report Service Pack 1 is
installed?
 
Yes, (Version 5.1, build2600.xps1, Service pack 1.

As thought, the update installed o.k., it is just not
shown in the installation history that on-line update
uses.

The history does, however, recalled two unsuccessful
attempts to download SP1, which I aborted as they were
takink so long (>24 hours) on my download connection.
