    I get frequent Windows Explorer crashes after which Microsoft suggests that I should download the above Reliability Pack, but after I try to it says that this fix is "not designed for this computer."

    Does anyone have any insight into this stupid cycle? :eek:

    You might want to just install SP1. If you already have it installed, that is why you don't need it.

    I can't install SP1. I need to get rid of my hidden Acronis partition first because I only have 2GB of space left and SP1 needs more than that! :mad:

    are you trying to keep the partition, or are you just worried of what might happen? I deleted it and all is well.

    I have to delete it too, but I haven't got the courage yet to grapple with Partition Manager and dealing with the master boot record. I also need to look up Outrigger's post about that and I've not had time. :(

    if you delete it, it will just give you an error message at boot time, until you fix the MBR, which can be done easily using a vista installation dvd.

    good luck.
