  Hello

  May I ask how you are trying to install the Vista SP1?
  You try to first download it from the Microsoft Web site, and after a full download you are trying to install it?

  I have a Vista on my laptop too and I installed the Vista SP1 through the automatic update of the OS.

  The Vista SP1 update automatically, please go to-> Windows Update control panel.

  Here you must press the button install updates.

  The entire procedure will take some time, but everything should run automatically.

• No details pane in Explorer - Windows 7 complete edition, all updates and service pack 1 applied.

  I am running WIndows 7 Ultimate and my Explorer window displays more info at the bottom pane in the files list. Is there any component at all. It does not matter what library or folder that I discovered in the Details view, there is no pane. When I browse the same libraries through residential group however, sharing on my laptop computer that is also running windows 7 ultimate, the pane is there.

  I just installed Service pack 1 and still no detail pane.  Can I change the details of the view to everything I want to display in the list of file in detail, but there is nothing else than the status at the bottom toolbar.  I tried turning this toolbar on and outside, but no difference.

  I can't seem to find information on how to activate the details, on and outside pane, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

  In Windows Explorer, it should just be a case of clicking organize , then layout , then click on the details pane. You say that this does not work for you?

  I'm trying to install Windows 7 x 64 Pro (updated version) in a new VW using Easy Install student but I get the following error in the virtual machine once it starts copying Windows files:

  TO USE THE PRODUCT KEY YOU ENTERED, START THE INSTALLATION ON A COMPUTER THAT IS RUNNING GENUINE WINDOWS.

  Anyone else having this problem? No work around? How can I perform a clean installation, if I don't want to upgrade a Win XP VW?

  Help, please.

  Thank you

  Windows 7 (and Vista) will install without a product key.  You can even install easily leaving the empty product key (VMware will tell you), in the process, he can make a break for you ask what edition you have a valid key for and after the installation, you enter your product key in the system properties.
