Vista after Installing Vista SP1

1. I installed Vista SP1 on my Vista Machine (basic). It seemed to install
ok, but I did not do any work in it since SP1 was installed. Today I tryed
to enter the "My Documtnets" folder and it has a check mark in the icon and
it said "access is denied" when I clicked on the folder. Their are a lot
more folders in the same boat. I can not open them and I can not delete them.
2. Live Update does not work. Their is a New Update icon on the toolbar
that says "New updates are available". I clik on the icon and all it does is
open my Windows Explorer. That is as far as I can go, it just sets there
like a dummy, just about what I am at this point. I tried to do a manual
update, but when I got to the screen to update, it said I had to update
through the Start Up mene using Windows Update. I tryied that and all that
does is open up Windows Explorer, I go to Control Panel and click on Windows
Update and it goes back to Windows Explorer.
All I can get is a viscios circle of nothing. Any suggestions on how to
correct the problem would be appreciated.

Was SP1 offered by Windows Update or did you install it manually, Ivan?
