Are you trying to get the SP1 straight from Microsoft or another site?

from microsoft updates you know when you try to go to updates and it takes you to a site that says you might not be able to download updates without the service packs installed,well that is where i got them from.i followed there instructions

It appears, but please correct me if I am wrong, that you have this matter here on "system recovery and installation of Service Pack, but you have also opened a new topic on "shortcuts".
Is this the SAME computer please.
