Re: Great! So, it seems there isn't actually any reason for an everyday user to get SP1 if you already have all the previous updates...

Nevermind, thank God for System Restore! I always forget that exists...

Hello, fine Windows 7 sages. Been a while since I was here, and I hope you're all doing well. My issue comes from negligence on my part. I tried to use the Remove Blur tool, to make things behind the transparent windows appear clear, and I have the retail version of Windows. I used it on the...

Combatting the crackers is always a reactive process, and hardly ever a proactive one. They're almost always one step ahead, and there's nothing Microsoft can do, except wait for their software to get cracked.

I'd just like to put my hand up and say Daemon Tools 4.30.4.0027 works just fine for me.
