ok ive narrowed it down a bit, it does not seem to be an activation issue... it seems to be a .NET Framework SP1 issue. Windows Update trys to install the .NET Framework SP1 update (Even though i have SP2 for Vista 64bit ultimate) and the update fails... then renders office 2007 inoperable...making the icons blank, as well as for some reason iTunes... a system restore fixes the issue, but i cannot update to the .NET Framework SP1 update...


Any ideas?
