Original title : Reformat? I thought I should REFORMAT my hard drive after viruses took over my computer. The original disk had no provision for that. It installed a nother copy of Vista but saved the old informaion too. I manually deleted Windows.old, because I didn't want to keep all those viruses on my computer. Now I can't update Windows. And I no longer see the restore sector. What can I do? View this thread

Every time i press check for updates in the windows update panel I keep getting the message "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the serice is not running. You may need to restart your computer. I have windows running on a partition in a Mac. I have restarted twice and it still makes no difference ! Before i used to Update it online but now since this has been integrated that is also apparently not possible. It keeps reverting me to this program and the program does not work! View this thread

When I bought the computer, these were the properties I supposedly had: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3 Intel 4CPU 2.8 Ghz 2.79Ghz, .99GB Ram After Guruaid.com "cleaned" my computer, I've had a LOT of problems. While fixing these, I noticed that I only have Service Pack 1 installed now. I know that I have to install the Service Pack 2 app to be able to reinstall the Service Pack 3 that I'm supposed to have. Apparently, my system is a 32 bit, which should be compatible with Service Pack 3. There is no mention of whether it's 32 bit or 64 bit in the Properties WIndow, so I'm assuming it's a 32 bit.
