Windows update picked it up for me. Just an FYI.

...well that shoots that in the foot...thanks for the link H_J

i am almost ready to do a fresh install and move to a 64 bit os and was hoping to initilize windows at 64 bit right out of the box but it looks as though the main .cab file is the roadblock on that

...well, i just installed the sp1 from windows update and now my pc sees the whole 4GB of memory instead of 3.3GB

AFAIK it just reports it differently so users won't complain (it works on you, it seems )
