Odd problem with SP1 install - have no clue

Shortly after trying to install SP1, I get to the "Please read the license
terms" window. However, there is no box to check to accept the terms, and,
thus, the "next" box is grayed out. I'm tried to install though windows
update and download of the file. Does anyone have any idea about this?

Have you tried scrolling to the bottom of the license text window? This is
a way of assuming you "read" the whole thing.

You can change focus to the right button with the TAB key, and select the
item with the spacebar, then tab to the Next button, and hit enter. What you
are seeing is due to too big a font, or maybe DPI. The selection is out of
sight.

Yes, I've tried. Noticed something else... The text for the license
agreement cuts off on the right side with no way of reading the ends of the
lines or expand the license window.

Thanks, that worked

Well, it was just a guess. I'm guessing Mark's reply is the real issue -
font and/or DPI size.
