How do I tell if my Vista Home Premium has SP1 installed??

In Win XP I could go to Control Panel > System > System Info (or something
like that) and see the version of XP.

In Vista, the Control Panel shows only a screen filled with confusing icons
and labels.

And -- what is the latest SP for my system?

Thanks.

Method 1

Start Orb>Control Panel (set to Classic Mode for less confusion).
System applet - general page - just like in Windows XP

Method 2

Start Orb>Search box>type: winver [enter]

Service Pack 1 is the latest service pack for Vista. Service Pack 2 is in
beta.

Thanks -- I found it -- also, I figured out how to set the Control Panel for
the Classic View -- makes a lot more sense -- at least, to me it does. I
guess there are folks who prefer icons but I'm too damn old to change.
 
Select Orb, right click Computer, select properties. Read. the installed
service pack should be stated to the left of the Orb.
 
Hi, A-non-i-moose.

The other ways work, too, but my favorite is simply:

<Win>+<Break>

That is, hold down the Windows logo key while pressing the Pause/Break key.
The System Properties window should pop up in your face - like a computer
airbag. :^}

Sounds nice 'n easy. When I finally wear out my supply of AT
keyboards (yes - AT), maybe I'll get one of them fancy ones.

I didn't think IBM AT keyboards could wear out.
