Vista 32-bit on AMD 64 HP s3200n - SP1 says installed but keeps offering it

Unless of course someone could burn the standalone 32-bit Vista SP1 and SP2 to DVD for me. If someone has the bandwidth to do that, PM me for the mailing addy.

Yes, you can suggest the manual SP1, but I won't be able to do that til after the 22nd of this month when our Verizon Wirelss rolls over to the next month. Because of this system, I have already used up 50% of our 14GB monthly allotment. Sigh...

No problem :)

It was a bit of a cop-out solution anyway (although I have seen it work a couple of times - or rather, properly fail & give me the lead I needed to fix the root cause). I'll take another look over your logs & see if there's anything I can do to *fix* the issue.

Well, now it's worse. I reinstalled MSE and it will not update at all now. So that error it had before apparently was symptomatic.

Joy...LOL!

I wish Microsoft would provide everyone who has a license for Vista 32-bit or 64-bit with a DVD install of Vista w/SP2 slipstreamed free of charge just for these headaches.

I understand that once you get to SP2, Vista is supposed to not suck so much, but you do have to actually get there...sigh.

I thank you for your help Richard. If you figure out anything, please let me know.

If you need anything else, let me know and I will try to get it for you.

I just uninstalled MSE and installed my ESET NOD32 instead. Took care of not being protected.
