error i need to upgrade to latest retail version vista,i bought mi

about once a week i get a message that says i am useing a beta version of
windows vista and thast i need to upgrade to the lastest retail version. Well
i am assumeing that since i bought my vista premium in Office Depot that it
is NOT a beta version. *** it better not be a BETA, i paid $150.00 dollars
for it.

So does anybody, anybody at all know of this problem and how to fix it other
than calling Microsoft and waiting 2weeks for them to get back to me and then
spending 2 or 3 hours on the phone with microsoft when they do call. God
knows that happens everytime i try to call Dell.

Thank You,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Did you install the beta SP1 release for Vista?
