Wondering...

lol, yes.

okay, thank you for all the info you guys. I just repair installed my OS lastnight with the retail ISO that I burned. But instead of fixing the SP1 update which was the only error (error code 80004005) it got me to 29 download update failures. dang! Also after repair Installing I noticed that my Windows is not activated even though I used my product key, why is that?

What happens when you try to activate on line?

I didn't activate it. I clicked the option below that said to activate and then it provided me with a couple of landline numbers but I can't call coz there's no phone with me. Also there was too much failure from the updates so I decided to do an Image restore. The initial image that I made from the time I first turned on this laptop.

OK so whats the status after this last image restore, any better or worse?

Oh crap!!! Now I'm trying to update and I got 61 failed updates with the error code 80004005! I already installed the Update Readiness Tool and did a SFC /SCANNOW on an elevated CMD (which turned out clean) and yet I got 61 failures. It's getting worse.. What should I do?

I'll do a repair install again. Hopefully it'll work this time. What I'm wondering is when it comes to activating the OS, I remember there was a note saying "Automatic activation after 3 days". What does that mean? It will activate itself after 3 days plain and simple? or Would it still require me to call those numbers provided before?
