When I click the windows update from the start menu, it just opens the same window as above. Im pretty sure SP1 isn't on the Vista disk. I bought Vista seperately as I bought this pc new with no operating system. Ive had them both for almost 2 years now and I re-formatted last year because of some problem I had and I seem to remember the updates taking a long time afterwards, this makes me think that SP1 was one of them.
I was looking at something I hadn't seen before last night......from the basic info window on my pc, I clicked on 'performance' in the bottom left of the window, then on 'advanced tools' top left of that window, then 'view performance details in events log' from the list. I went down the list to Diagnostics performance-operational and theres loads of warnings,errors and critical symbols!! They are all to do with Boot performance monitoring and shutdown performance monitoring!!
I wish I hadn't looked LOL! I don't know if this is really important and maybe I should just stick to the bits I know??
I think maybe I should be thinking about re-formatting again to give it a 'clear out'. But I don't look forward to the idea as it takes so long and installing the drivers (because its 64 bit) always seems to be a pain.
I will more than likely wait till I have a bigger problem (which I daresay I will have eventually) then re-format. (Or save up for Windows 7, couldn't be any worse than 64bit Vista)....what do you say?
