I downloaded the SP1 installed it as MS said to do. I
used the express version. When all installed and tried to
reboot It would not boot AT ALL. Kept saying no login.exe
and missing msgina.dll and shlwapi.dll. I have a Dell
computer with a small partition on the C drive that Dell
put there. My OS is on C. I am afraid to try the update
again as I don't want to go through taking the chance of
losing the computer again. Any help appreciated. If I dl
the network version do you think that will work? I am on
cable.
