I just gave up on my xp and had to reinstall the OS since I got my vista disks when my computer was new... and never installed them...the update shows me 80 inportant updates. Doesnt service pack 1 eliminate the need fo all of these ?? I need service pack 1 to install office 2010.
How do I get service pack 1 as an option?
thanks
Jan

Thanks It kept updating the SPs about 80 of them.....finally it downloaded service pack 1 and then I tried to set up my hotmail in vista mail and it wouldnt do it. I guess now I have to install live mail to check my hotmail with it....Damn! I thoought I could just do SP 1 and wouldnt need those smaller upgrades

I am not sure I want Live mail???!!!
