Do you have any service packs installed?
to check, click start > right click my computer > properties and look for 'service pack X' (Where X should be 1 or 2 (hopefully 2 as SP2 is the latest service pack for vista))
If it doesn't say anything about a service pack, then run windows update from the control panel0 -
ok, no service pack so i ran the windows update.
should i try again with the download?"it's better than a poke in the eye with a pointy stick" - my dad, regularly throughout my childhood when I complained about something being too small/not perfect/not tasty/not what I wanted. he was right every time.0 -
You should not need to re download just re run the install from the last download. Gaming guy was better idea my last post was win7 and stage 4 errors sorry
