Hi;
This is a common problem with Vista. The update (Microsoft .net 1.1 Service Pack
1) that Microsoft released yesterday, November 28, has been a major problem for many
Vista users, including myself.
The help files and the Microsoft support website contain step-by-step instructions
but neither source contains a workable solution.
The problem has a solution, in fact, and it's pretty easy:
1) Go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A8F5654F-088E-40B2-BBDB-A83353618B38
and download the installer for .net 1.1 service pack 1. Run the installer.
2) Restart Vista.
3) Go to "Windows Update" and click "Check for updates". It will find a security
update for the service pack you just installed.
4) Relax and cuss at Microsoft under your breath.
This solution worked on Vista Home Premium 32 Bit edition but it may very well
work on the other flavors. Your mileage may vary and don't come asking me for help
if it doesn't work. Microsoft has free tech support for update issues, try contacting
them if all fails.
