in Techie Stuff
Hi all,
I've only recently noticed the error code stated above and I can't install the security updates which prevents me connecting to the internet through my university's network.
i have spent days trying every fix i've found on the web. I went to see the techies in my uni and they said I need to reinstall vista.
To do this I need a recovery disk. where can i get one for free? Apparently directly from Acer I have to pay but it is Microsofts fault that windows update corrupted it seems unfair that I have to pay.
Any ideas?
