Cannot install the Service Pack

After a fresh my Windows vista 32 bit OS and before reformatting to install all programs, I am now unable to install Service Pack 1. Both in standalone or through windows update.

At the beginning of the phase 3 installation of 3, the computer screen will corrupt (black with white verticle lines) and remains corrupted for 10 hours. Eventually an interference between step 2 of 3 and my graphics card/driver? If I turn the system still works between 3 to 10 hours and boot mode safe, corruption will go and step 3 of 3 will start 35%. If left at 100% he inform to me that he couldn't install and restoration of the changes.

The PC is a Dell XPS420 standard with upgrade G-card (GeForce 9800 GT) using the latest drivers and ram upgrades.

I had no end of problems with windows update. Indeed, I reformatted the OS simply because windows update was previously impossible to install SP2 (missing error element) I tried everything recommended on the net by the countless times (checksur/fixit/sfc/autonomous/safe mode) for more than 20 hours and am about to throw the pc out the window.

There is no virus programs or indeed all running programs and the windows firewall is disabled.

Anyone who reads this may have a similar problem could try to uninstall the driver graphics card by going to Device Manager, find the graphic card and uninstalling the driver.

It is possible that this is what I should have done rather than reformat or try to repair, sfc, fixit or checksur my operating system scan when I found myself unable to install SP2 a few days ago.

If you are in a similar position, use a GeForce 9800gt and consider to reset your Vista operating system to the original image, give this a go first.

If you are a microsoft engineer and are pondering ways to improve the experience of vista, I would suggest removing the reccomendation "solution found - go to the NVIDIA website and search for the latest version of the driver" who appears almost instantly after the re-establishment of a system like mine to the factory settings and suggests instead that they are downloaded all updates first using windows update. One of these updates (after SP1) seems to have included a functioning driver for my graphics card and now it seems to work normally when installing SP2 successfully.

Now if only I could get these 30 hours of my life back...

    Thank you

    Hello

    Please join Microsoft Community where you can find the necessary information on Microsoft products!

    You can not install Vista Service pack 2 and get the error with code 800f0a09 and the message that there are problems with the driver for dell latitude.

    The problem may occur if some of the components of the update are corrupt.

    What is the full error message that you receive?

    I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below to check if the problem is with the update components:

    Method 1: Reset the update components

    See the site:

    How to reset the Windows Update components?

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

    Warning: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry

    Method 2: Run the system update readiness tool

     

    See the site:

    System update scan tool corrects errors of Windows Update in Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947821

    Method 3: Turn off the antivirus software

     

    See the site:

    Disable the anti-virus software

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    I hope this helps. If the problem persists, let know us and we would be happy to help you.

    Intel Core 2 Due CPU 8400 @ 3.00 GHZ w 2 GB RAM running (Windows Home Premium 64-bit).  Service Pack 1 is installed.

    Buy windows 7... tried last month upgrading Vista however the updater doesn't install not service pack 2. (KB948465).  kept trying to install it but would get to the end and fail, and then seeks to restore to the previous version and I would then have to start in safe mode.
    Spent the last day trawl through all instances and followed each piece of advice out there, but still no joy.
    Manually install the update for Windows (KB947821).  Uninstalled all antivirus & anti-spyware (AVG & Norton were both running).  Ran System File Checker & Windows Install CleanUp and say that everything is OK.
    Each reboot the computer in order to start the installation it restarts.  must select Safe mode with network... so going directly in "installation of the Service Pack: stage 3 of 3" arrives at 100% complete but then message comes up saying "Service pack do not have. '"  Restoration of the changes.  Do not turn off your computer. "Then"Configuring updates"and then to the normal login screen.  When I connect and go update history it reads "Windows Vista Service Pace 2 for x 64-based systems (KB948465).»  Details of the error 8007043 C Code.
    I then followed the instructions to install from the original DVD however after several hours I finally managed: 'the upgrade has failed.  your previous version of WIndows is being restored.  Do not restart your computer during this time. »
    Looking around and we found a lot of people with this issue but no solutions.  Don't know what I can do now?

    Uninstalled all antivirus & anti-spyware (AVG & Norton were both running).

    I just noticed the above your first post. You had AVG and installed NAV and loading at startup? What were you doing thought? Not surprising that SP2 or Win7 upgrade would not install!

    You must have an installed AV 1 and loading at startup. Chances are that AVG or Norton worked properly.

    You have 2 choices:

    1. back up your personal data (of which none should be considered reliable) and then format the HARD drive and do a clean install of Vista. or...

    2. make a "custom (Advanced) installation" of Win7 and then delete %system%\Windows.old <=this> . Do not even think to transfer the data from Vista to Win7. ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft
