Hi David,
I don't understand the question.
Are you asking when Vista Home Basic was released, when the Service Pack 1 was release or when Microsoft started shipping Vista media that included Service Pack 1?
If your question has to do with any of the above, then please post your question in the Vista Answer's Forum a http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windowsvista
If you are experiencing a Vista Non-Genuine issue, then please download and run the Genuine Diagnostics tool (MGADiag.exe) at this link http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012. Click "Continue", click the "Copy" button then “Paste” the report into a reply message in this thread.
Running a Diagnostic Report with no access to the Start Button:
1) Login to Vista and click the option that brings up Internet Explorer.
2) Type: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 into the browser address bar.
3) A window will come up asking if you want to “Run” or “Save”, Select “Run”
4) When the program runs, click the “Continue” button, then click the “Copy” button.
5) Return to this thread http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinevista/thread/aee84c5a-3af0-4974-9bd5-3536a9ffd9f7.
6) In a reply post, paste the Diagnostic Report.
Thank you,
Darin MS
