Make sure you restart your computer after each update even though you will not get a prompt to do that.

Now you will see Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Release Candidate 1 - Build 6001.17052 in the update list. Download and install it normally to update your system to Service Pack 1.

Yes, I rebooted each time. And it installed perfect and was what I thought running great. IE was working then I got the BSOD.

The message on one of them was.. page fault in non page area. I kept trying to get back in. I went into safe mode and was able to get around. I took out video drivers and restarted with non beta drivers and still no good. I still have errors in my device manager that wont go away. My device manager is always clean.

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available. --wan miniport sstp

Well, hummm??? Reinstall probably would be faster and easier than what your are going through. I was about 100% that SP1 RC1 would not be an upper.

What is your Wan Miniport?
I had to take the drivers from the CD and place on floppies, so I could install them. XP the drivers installed from CD but not Vista...
Also you might simply uninstall the Yellow marked Wan MiniPort. move back to desktop with all other windows closed.... then in blank spot click REFRESH... if it does not locate then you will have to reboot. you might check c:\windows\netsstpa.inf and see what it says... so say simply rename it to .bak and reboot and it will reset it self... another suggest uninstall all reference to your Network, and when you hve lost your ability to connect, manually use the wizard to remake your connection. (My ISP stated that if I have problems with Vista and connections)
1. open and unclick IPv6, unclick Qos,
2. open network connections and delete/uninstall all of them
3. refresh and remake all connections..

I think I should just start from scratch at this point. I think I am to far gone. It is working as of now fine I just have updates off. Tuesday I should have some time to format and get Vista reinstalled.

I really don't think it's a bad idea to start from scratch by the time SP1 is available, if you can afford it. Just make sure to back up all your data and email contacts. If you install Sp1 with a sick PC, it might just get worst.

I agree; it's time.

Have been restoring all day.. It is just amazing how fast things are and just in the matter of a few hours and 10-12 programs how it already starts to slow up..lol..

It was worth it.. My machine runs like new again.
