Jason

Thought I'd read elsewhere this was not available for OEM Vista

...that's all fine and dandy and such, but I keep getting a "unknown
application, try again in a few minutes" error.

...even M$'s own website is broken. ..wtf..?

Thanks for the advice guys - haven't any problems - but nice to know help
