Well, i've given up - after 2 hours with M$ tech support last night and not finding a solution, i just dont care anymore. I'm going to re-install at some point, but whether I go back to XP or not has yet to be decided...
@vaderag, this is of topic and should be in it's own thread, but...
If you don't see SP1, in Windows update, then Microsoft is telling you "Hey, look, I know SP1 is all great an all, but you have a product from a dumb ass company that don't like to support their old hardware because they think you are stupid enough will go buy their new product, when in reality you will understand that these are very bad business practices. So if you install SP1, some sever problems will occur. Either the device won't work, or you will get a BSOD."

Lol - it is in the list... it just stops installing with error 80073712 - millions of others seem to have had it, and nobody has found a solution...
