activating windows is a breeze about windows updates i'll do a fresh install and manually via site but before that testing a preinstalled SP1 win7/64
windows updates download fine and gets the job done but for some reason after you install service pack 1 windows updates via desktop no longer downloads updates and you have to manually download via site for me idk about others.
but the reason i'm asking for the best effecient and successful way to install cause i'm getting a AppHangB1 error when playing team fortress 2. It wasn't doing this and is all the sudden and I am not sure if it's windows issue or harddware cause all other games run fine it's only source games all the sudden freeze once you get in-game and then it does a looping sound then crashes with AppHangB1 error.
