My computer tried to automatically download service pack 3 yesterday. It was over 90% complete when it said the download failed try again. i tried again and it would not download anything. It seems stuck in trying to download mode and i cannot reboot or turn off the computer. Everything else seems to work normally but I cannot turn the computer off or get the service pack down load to stop functioning.

are you sure its windows 7? sounds more like XP...

for Windows 7, only SP1 has been released so far. but there is SP3 for Windows XP 32bit. what is the status now? must be by over....
