Hi Martin You would know if SP3 wanted to install. You get a licence agreement to accept, so you haven't got it yet mate. I just left it until the System Tray showed it ready to install, then went for it. After it had done so, I went to Windows Update and made sure it was showing no further updates to install. I haven't seen the SP1 for Vista come up yet in this way, so am waiting until it does. I too have my updates set to automatically come up and install, but the SP ones are definitely bigger and want the licence acceptance.

Still haven't seen the new SP1 for Vista yet, so I'm waiting until it instructs me to install it.

What is this and is there any way I can either get rid of the error or bypass copying the file?
