    Hi,

    After installing all the updates Windows Update could find on my computer including SP1 I noticed that it was not finding the SP2 update. So I waited 24 hours to see if it would show up, since it has not, I decided to download the stand-alone SP2 installer x64 straight from the microsoft site.

    Now my issue is this, when I get to the install screen I get this error:
    [​IMG]

    Now the problem is, it doesn't say what driver is incompatible, and after googling the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 967752;

    this article comes up, which is titled "A Windows Server 2008-based computer that is connected to a storage device over MPIO paths does not restart if the storage device is a boot device, or you lose access to the device if the device is a data volume" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967752

    Please help, I have no idea what to do now and I want the added security and reliability on my new laptop, should I just ignore the message and continue? It will be very much appreciated,
    Cheers. :confused:

    Edit: Additionally, I did click 'Check for solution' and Windows was not able to find a solution, forgot to mention that.

    Just install it. I'm running Vista x64 SP2, and we have literally the exact same configuration, except I have the Intel 5300 WiFi instead of 5100.
