    I belive that the version of vista is 64 bit. It is vista home, but it is on a very new laptop, it a gateway FX P series. here are the specs.

    Gateway
    P-7805u
    Processor: P8400 Intel Dual Core 2.26
    4gb DDR3
    System type: 64-bit operating system
    Geforce 9800m GTS 1gb

    so it's a very nice laptop.

    As for removing Visual C++ my question on that is since i cant use it to get on the internet since i get the error with Internet explorer what harm am i going to do to it if I delete that impaticular program? But for giggles where abouts will this Visual C++ be located on the machine? Will i be able to download it to a flash drive an load it that way?


    Many thanks for your support!

    can you delete _all_ of Windows Update files through control panel and try windows update again?
