Windows Unexpected Shut Down
I experienced an unexpected Windows Vista (32 bit System) shut down. A
solution was found in the problems report to install Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1). Is this considered a reinstallation of the operation system? Also, how do I know if I have SP1? Thank you, Mark

It is an installation of a service pack. All normal precautions such as backing up one's data first should be taken, of course. To find out what version of Vista you have, Start OrbSearch boxtype: winver [enter] If you have Service Pack 1 the results will show it. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!

Windows Unexpected Shut Down
Hi mark, Right click on your computer icon or computer in start menu and select properties or press Windows Key+Break the first section of the system properties will show Service Pack 1 if it's installed. Service pack 1 is a roll up of all the bug fixes and such released for vista since it was released plus a few extra items under the hood. It is a recommended upgrade for anybody running vista even if they are not experiencing problems. There were a few minor compatibility issues when it was first released but i believe that these are all now sorted. All feedback that I have seen is favourable with improved systems after install. Would suggest you download the standalone package available 'Here' (http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/d...displaylang=en) -- barman58 Regards, *Nigel* the beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand.,- frank herbert
