Another problem of Installation of Service Pack 1 of Windows Vista - will not install

Hey guys, a greeting from Belgium in my first post.

I recently reinstalled my Windows; This is a Home XP and a Vista Edition Home Premium (updated, so I need to install XP first).
When I got it setup XP, which goes perfectly to SP3, I switched to Vista. All the small updates installed outside for a few "failures" caused by Vista stop updates itself, because they were not absolutely necessary.

When SP1 popped up, I decided to download both and see other things, but when you try to install through Windows Update I get the error message "this update cannot continue while some services are still in use" or so, I don't remember the exact message or code.

When I downloaded the SP1 on the Microsoft site, it worked better and smoother then Windows Update but also to is crushed when the progress bar has been a little more than half. Yet once again, I don't know the exact code but I do not know the message: "update cannot continue because of an internal problem.

That's what I tried:

-Retry it 40 times
-Try in safe mode
-Turn off all the other third part of the programs, including Win Defender
-Tried the system update tool
-Keep hope

That's what I did afterwards:

-Save all my settings
-Rebooted and selected the dualboot XP
-Formatted the separate partition holding the part of the dualboot Vista
-Reinstalled on the same partition with the recommended settings, no change

I would like to have an answer soon, people. I would be incredibly grateful if this could be resolved. Future changes may include error codes given.
