Been there, done that to no avail. Thanks. I need a Vista (Premium) download
from MS that actually controls the "Windows Update" function which seems to
have a glitch in it. Is there a pre-1/18/2008 stand-alone installer out there
that might address this problem or the an interface connected with IE7 that
is related to the "Windows Update" function.
