Shall I intervene? Euthanize the PC & profess replacement need? Suicide? Find a way to blame the IT guy? |

| | RE: SP1 botch Update 09.10.29: Called MS tech support. Could not remedy/restore without original disks. OEM disks inadequate. Purchased new Vista Ultimate 64bit. Booting from CD, "repair" failed. No expected "restore" option was discernible by tech support nor by me. Therefore we performed a full reinstall of Vista. Former directories quarantined in C;Windows:OLD, no data losee, 100% software loss; all must be re-installed. That's life.
