I've tried all the methods, but still can't get Service Pack 2 to install,
and all I get back from contacting Microsoft is a standardised email refering
me to their support website; going round in cricles now!

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for
Windows Vista, but only for Service Pack 2 (SP2). This support for Windows
Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2) is valid until November 26, 2009. Availability of
chat or e-mail support differs depending on your geographic location. Go to
http://support.microsoft.com/oas/def...4&gprid=582034 &
select appropriate category (e.g., Installation).

If /you/ need further assistance in this newsgroup, please begin your own
new thread, Paul.
