Hi all - somewhere down the line Win7 SP1 managed to get removed - obviously something I did somewhere. Have tried the update route and it comes up with the infamous 80073712 error. Have run Windows6.1-KB947821-v26-x64.msu with Avast and Malwarebytes disabled. Then tried to apply windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe (the SP1 update file) - still no luck so the only option is a repair install.

Before that though my PC is running just fine with all updates applied apart from SP1. Are there any real world benefits to going down a repair install simply to get SP1.

Any input appreciated - regards

Thanks for the link(s) - took the hint and did a repair install - now got SP1 installed.

Unfortunately this has lead to another problem P17RunE.dll - new thread started over this.

If you don't have SP1 then you don't have Win7.

It's like a car overhaul: it becomes the engine itself.
