Vista SP2 will not download. Problem with Microsoft?
Hello
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.
I tried this several times then and on several internet connections with the same error. Also, windows update will not download the service pack on the target machine.
I am using the following link to download from the Microsoft site: http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/7/7/E77CBA41-0B6B-4398-BBBF-EE121EEC0535/Windows6.0-KB948465-X86.exe
If I do something wrong, please correct me, but from here, it looks like there may be a problem on the end of Microsoft.
Thank you

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.You can create an account via START > Control Panel > usersLet us know what happens

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?

repeated problems with HP550 / Windows Vista SP2
Hi all
the following problems keep recurring and the help of windows update does not respond:
(1) I get a reminder to register my new product - I already did.
(2) Windows update - continues to not install updates correctly - whenever it starts
I have tried many tips/tricks to solve installation problems - but does not
Can anyone suggest a work around
Thank you
Hello
For your #1 question:
Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > Task Scheduler
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.
Kind regards

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?

Vista SP1 to SP2 upgrade problems
I'm trying to upgrade to SP2. After you have downloaded the installer, Windows6. 0-KB948465 - X 86 .exe, I get a message 'the system cannot find the file specified.'.
A little investiagation shows that execution Windows6. 0-KB948465 - X 86 .exe generates spinstall.exe.
