you ran the cleanup tool, so you have to reinstall your PC. Sorry.

I don't think so :no:

You can't 'reinstall your PC', unless he's going to buy new hardware...he can however reinstall his OS.

That's what I did.

Not so bad actually (besides time consuming), my install disc had sp1 already and with all the practice I've had with Win7 it wasn't too bad.

If you use the cleanup tool it no longer has the files that it needs to put back in place to resume its previous configuration before you installed that particular build of SP2. In other words the cleanup tool deleted the SP1 files that it needs to revert to.

So in other words your permanently stuck using that build of SP2 unless you reinstall Vista. And then if your going to reinstall Vista anyway. I would recommend just using a slipstreamed image of Vista with SP2 integrated so you dont have to install Vista and then SP2.

You absolutly need to re-install if you removed your SP1 service pack as part of a clean-up. There is a way to hack around the problem but it's not recommended, and it's far better to start over with a fresh install.

Note: Never, evever clean your service pack installs off. Also, never use a VLite install or you will be in the same boat.

That's good.

PLEASE... Don't everyone post that same kind of reply: "I know that.. lol". What a waste of space.

I know that 98% (?) of the Windows uses out there know not to remove their installed Service Pack. If Microsoft wanted those Service Pack files removed they would have continued using the option of asking to remove those files uppon installation of the Service Pack. They used to have that option but its gone, and for good reason.

I thought it was explanatory that if Im trying to help someone that did delete them that I would know not to get rid of them.

Thanks for your waste of space post as well. I appreciate it.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By Talys · Posted

      I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.

      Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
