You want SP1, definitely. Just be sure to turn off your virus program before you try to update. Takes several hours and several reboots - all automatic, so don't worry. If you are running Norton, you will probably need to fully uninstall it before you update (I would not re-install it as it does not play well with Vista - at all. That in itself may fix your problem. Other then that, I'd get the disk that came with the computer or go to HP support site and down load the install program for you printer model and Vista.

The only thing offered is KB936330 (service pack one). I'm not sure I want
it. Isn't vista svc pack 1 the whole prob behind not being able to install
KB929729? What's the diff between important, critical, etc when it comes to
evaluating the levels of updates?
