[QUOTE="cardinals0015, post: 853734, member: 103781"] Okay, so I've had my MacBook for about a year. I loooove it, but decided that it would be beneficial to have Windows too, so I had it installed by the computer guy at my mom's work. The problem is that he installed Windows XP with service pack 1 instead of sp2. I didn't know the difference, and neither did he, but every apple manual/support I've checked has said "do NOT install sp1 and try to upgrade" So now, I can't get anything to really work on the windows partition of my MacBook. I was wondering.. if I just purchased the upgrade to windows vista and installed it, would it fix it? Or would I, for some reason, not be able to do this? The only reason I am wary is because everything I've read has been so adamant about not installing sp1 then upgrading. But I'm kind of stuck... so I don't know what to do. I would sooooo appreciate any help or advice! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
