assessment of Vista sp2 uninstall problem

I have problems to uninstall evaluation sp2 build 6002. in Add/Remove programs the kb file is there and when I click on uninstall crosses the long process or uninstall and restart - then after another 10 minutes about it says theat the uninstall failed and return to the previous.  I, ve about restarted 10 times and its still there. the reason why I want to uninstall is other than irritating pop-up saying its obsolete, my pc stops twice a day and I get the blue screen saying that the pattern and error corresponds to the installation of sp2. -ideas-i have tried uninstall 4 times now.

    I am trying to download the Windows Vista service pack 2 and the download seems to download under the ussual mannor, but I get the message "data are not valid. In addition, it seems that download says it's over when it has only downloaded about 50 KB.

  • Vista Home Premium SP2 installation problems

    SP2 says its installed but Windows Update shows it as an available update. When I view the system information, it still shows only installed SP1. I tried the standalone install and I got error 0 X 80070564 connection failed. SP2 shows as has been properly installed on Windows updates the history but it shows also the lack of installation after 2-3 hours to install, restart, then back to sp1. I stop all AV, Spyware, adware, Windows Defender by other items on the SP2 installation problems. I also ran system preparation and the System File Checker. I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit on computer laptop HP DV5 Dual Core. I have not found anything on the failure error connection displayed in the standalone sp2 update.

    Hello vinniegolf, welcome.

    I would recommend trying to create a new user account with administrative privlages and you try to upgrade to SP2 from here. This will tell us if it has something to do with the internal components of your user account.

  • Problems of network and Vista SP2

    I read a lot of discussion and of internet articles explaining the problems with Vista SP2 update. I have 3 PC / laptop on my home network. A PC with Vista SP2 (cable), a Sony notebook (wireless) with Vista SP1 and a portable IBM (wired) with XP Pro SP3.

    The SP2 from Vista PC has several symptoms, all pointing to a single cause. I've updated to IE8 at the same time, but also have a problem with Firefox. Subsequently, but with repeated reboot iTunes downloads. Copies of files network NAS also experience time-out issues. Even ping the IP of the gateway translates to periodic messages out "request timed." This highlights a problem with the network or the IP stack drivers.

    I checked that I use the last available network driver. I also disabled IPv6. No change.
    Occaisionaly than other experiences of the peripheral issues (laptop computer IBM and Sony), but these were resolved only after the Netgear gateway is restarted.

    The network has operated in this configuration for several months without errors. The Netgear gateway running the latest firmware. No suggestions have led or has proposed a solution.

    You go to the site of the manufacturer of the device and look for the latest driver? As Realtek, IDT, or that which
    Do such unit as listed in the manufacturer of the device. Often the real device manufacturer will have newer drivers
    the system and certainly most recent manufacturer this update of drivers of in Device Manager.
    (MS is far behind the drivers of certification).

    Manually, look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers: this for the real device manufacturer

  • Vista 32 sp2 causing problem with dell laser printer 1720

    Vista sp 2 apparently automatically updated and after that, the dell 1720 laser printer will spit on a white sheet, then the desired on a second document sheet.  I spent 3 hours on the phone with support technique dell with no resolution.  They feel that it is perhaps because of the addition of the 2 service pack. Always, it prints a few odd at the top of the first sheet numbers, if anything, then prints the document requested on the second sheet. It does this by using any application (Notepad, wordpad or other software).  Someone at - it ideas?  I'm certainly not the only one having this problem?

    Hello

    For your #1 question:

    Look for the tasks listed on HP., if you see them you can delete them or distributes them to run once. Who should take care of the problem

    For your question #2:

    There are a few services that are needed for starting windows update to work correctly. (these are services that depend on it).

    Take a read of this thread (found on another forum). BlackViper.com, there a nice breakdown of the Windows Vista SP2 service configurations.

  • Problem Vista SP2 with hanging from the Welcome screen

    I asked recently in many Windows updates to multiple computers on our network, which has improved their Vista SP2 Office SP3 and IE 9.  However, given that I did this, new users I create in Active Directory are not able to access these computers updated.  The user connects for the first time and who is then invited to change password.  After that the user changes the password, it crashes right on the screen of welcome with the circle of rotation.  CTRL + Alt + Delete does not work anymore - a hard power off is necessary.  When the user tries to connect to that same computer, the same thing happens.  When the user tries to connect to any other computer updated, the same thing happens.  But if the user connects to an older computer not updated, then the user can connect!   This update of Windows has watered really me.  Any suggestions please?
