• Impossible to update Microsoft Windows Vista SP2

  I have a laptop that is running Windows Vista Service Pack 2 from Microsoft yet. I have not started the laptop for almost a year and I understand that the operating system is no longer supported. I'm just trying to get all the other updates carried forward after November 13, 2015. The update of Windows seems not to be able to get updates or is suspended. In the past when Windows XP support ended, I was still able to update the o/s to the last update available for the well type beyond a year after. I don't see why I can't still not updated for Windows Vista SP2.

  I need constructive responses to solve the problem and not the usual, "my computer is old and needs to be upgraded or replaced", remarks. I don't have the funds to keep the upgrade for the latest and best. The laptop, I always work and if I have funds or if I know that it can smoothly run Windows 10, I could upgrade the o/s.

  Follow these steps: Install KB3078601, KB3109094, KB3145739, KB3164033, KB3168965 and KB3185911 manually. Download links:

  scrubie,
  If you go to programs and features, and then on the left side you should see a link for "Daily display installed."  Which would then show the list of updates with the State which will show you if it failed or not.

• Automatic update of Windows Vista 15/09/10 changed my theme to look a bit like Windows 98. How I can it return to normal Vista theme?

  I tried to change it by using the taskbar properties. The classic Start menu option is not selected. So what's happened? Hope I can get a quick fix. Thanks in advance!

• Update for Windows Vista Edition family may 12 Premium taking hours to install

  I use Windows Vista Home Premium on a Sony VAIO VGN - SR 190.  When I went to shut down my computer today (13 May 2009), I clicked on the icon that said he was going to install updates and then turn off the computer.  I did this several times in the past without problem.  Now the computer screen showed 'Installing Update 1 of 5...' for the last 3 hours.  This set of updates does take really too long?  Is there's something screwed up with my computer and I turn it off manually, how that will affect the update?  Will my jet computer when I turn it back on?  Thanks for any help on this!

  Hi Chris,

  Thanks a lot for all of your helpful information.  I finally just manually turned off the computer, restarted, then clicked on the icon that says this install updates and then turn off the computer, and this time it worked fine.  It is not uncommon for my computer display the 'Shutting Down' and never stop (in this case), so it was probably the same is going on here except that Vista tried to install updates.  Thanks again for your help.

  rivercitylady,
  Usually with the code 646 error, if you download the update and install it manually that will fix the problem.

• Windows Update does not recognize that Windows Vista SP2 is NOT installed.

  I have Windows Vista x 64 with SP1 and I defined updates on automatic.  However, it does recognize that the SP2 is not installed...  I'm afraid to try to install it manually after reading all the trouble with SP2 on this site.  Could you please tell me why the updates fails to recognize the SP2 is not installed and I have to do to solve it?  I'm not a master IT person, I just want my computer to be as up-to-date as possible.

  Thanks for the advice and any help I can get.

  Hi Alamogordo,

  Welcome to Microsoft Windows forums!

  Automatic updates would have tried to install sp2 and the installation was corrupt and failed.  So it will not try to reinstall. We have to uninstall sp2 to view update history and try to download and install manually.

  1. click on Start to type windows update in the start search box and click on enter

  2. click on view history of update and uninstall sp2 (kb948465)

  3. use the below given link to download sp2 (download to your desktop)

  4 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=891ab806-2431-4d00-afa3-99ff6f22448d & displaylang = in & displaylang = in

  Follow these methods before installing sp2

  Method 1

  Try to put your computer in clean boot mode and check if the problem persists. To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts. This article describes how to solve problems in Windows Vista or Windows 7 by performing a clean boot.

  Steps to put your computer in a clean boot:

  1. click on Start
  2. type msconfig in the Search box and press ENTER.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.

  1. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
  2. under Selective startup, clear the Load Startup items check box.
  3. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click disable all.
  4. click on OK.
  5. When you are prompted, click restart.

  Method 2

  Run the system update tool

  System resources, such as file of data, even in the data memory and registry data, can develop inconsistencies during the lifecycle of the operating system. These contradictions may be caused by various hardware failures or can be caused by software problems. In some cases, these inconsistencies can affect the Windows Service store, and they can cause software updates not do not work. The system update tool attempts to resolve these inconsistencies.

  1. open the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 scroll through Microsoft Download Center where several links under this section.

  2. first link is for 32-bit operating system and the second is 64-bit.

  3. click on the appropriate link, then run it on your computer.

  4. Once completed, try to install sp2 through automatic updates

  5. in the case of a failure to install manually

  NOTE: TURN ON YOUR COMPUTER TO A NORMAL STARTUP AFTER TRYING THE STEPS ABOVE.

  Click Start, in the search box to start, type msconfig and press ENTER.
  Select Normal startup, and then press apply and OK
