Í am working on a friends computer in Spain. It has Vista - was updated to
SP1 in January and crashed in the summer. A "techie" fixed it but now it
tries every day to download SP1 and fails. I see on Google that many people
had this problem in the summer but all is quiet now - how was it eventually
fixed?

I´ve done the System Readiness update and deleted the system requirements
folder - but they make no difference. It seems not to be able to download
any updates until SP1 has installed. Or perhaps there are no routine Vista
updates (I use XP in the UK)?

Free Vista SP1 support:
