%X We construct a desingularization of the ``main component'' $\bar{\mathfrak M}_{1,k}^0(\Bbb{P}^n,d)$ of the moduli space $\bar{\mathfrak M}_{1,k}(\Bbb{P}^n,d)$ of genus-one stable maps into the complex projective space $\Bbb{P}^n$. As a bonus, we obtain desingularizations of certain natural sheaves over $\bar{\mathfrak M}_{1,k}^0(\Bbb{P}^n,d)$. Such desingularizations are useful for integrating natural cohomology classes on $\bar{\mathfrak M}_{1,k}^0(\Bbb{P}^n,d)$ using localization. In turn, these classes can be used to compute the genus-one Gromov-Witten invariants of complete intersections and classical enumerative invariants of projective spaces involving genus-one curves. The desingularization of $\bar{\mathfrak M}_{1,k}^0(\Bbb{P}^n,d)$ is obtained by sequentially blowing up $\bar{\mathfrak M}_{1,k}(\Bbb{P}^n,d)$ along ``bad'' subvarieties. At the end of the process, we are left with a modification of the main component, which turns out to be nonsingular.
