servicepack1

[Guest]

I have had my computer for over a year and have installed any update i have been sent but lately i decided to install service pack1 on my computer. I only have a dial up connection and it took over 90 minutes to download. When installed and my computer rebooted up to the welcome page and then stalled and whatever i tried i could not get my computer to work correctly i had to run system restore to get back to as it was. Could anyone tell me if i need to do anything before installing the sevive pack to stop my computer locking up.

Do you think you could clarify the above? You installed any update you were
sent?
You installed updates before you installed SP1?
