I still cant get it to run on my comp. Uninstalled/reinstalled 3.5 four times. When I installed it on my gfs comp it asked her to restart and installed the updates upon rebooting. It never asks me to restart on my comp, though .net framework has definitely been installed. I am running vista home premium service pack 1, 64 bit, copyright 2007 she is on vista home basic 32 bit, copyright 2006. Other than that I cant find any differences. I'm debating going back to XP. Vista has been nothing but a pain in my ass.
Edit, do you want system specs?
