After you install Windows Vista, I said that I have 30 days to activate it, but when I type my product code, I get an error message saying: I don't have a service pack installed.

I put vista on my computer and it says I have 30 days to activate, but when I type in my product code I get an error message. I do not have a service pack installed, this is the problem? And if so how to obtain the service pack and what one should I get? I also have a problem with my automatic updates... many of them fail to install. How can I prevent that to happen?
