  When the ' / ' B is used to command line option, the name of the value of the key 'DoNotAllowSP' is created and its value to 1. This value blocks delivery of a Service Pack to the computer through automatic updates or Windows Update.

  When the ' / U' command line option is used, the previously created registry value that temporarily blocked the delivery of a Service Pack to the computer through automatic updates or Windows Update is removed. If the value does not exist on the computer on which it is running, no action is taken.

• Installation of the Service Pack

  I had a problem, try to install the service pack. My computer is now locked in constant reboot mode while displaying

  "Service Pack did not install. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer". Then stops and restarts with the same message over and over again.

  I tried to follow the instructions provided everywhere. But when I restart and hold down the F8 key so I can boot into safe mode, I tried selecting all security modes and I get the same results and I tried again by selecting the option 'Disable automatic reboot' which seems to be an option on the same page with the option of safe mode. I also tried F12 and F2. Nothing works, the same message of service pack arrives and I can never get to where I can see my desktop to click 'Start' to restore. I can't get out of this cycle. Please let me know what buttons I can press on to get into my computer.

  Hello

  As you can not use Mode without failure as a way to do a system restore, try a startup repair and / or a system restore using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft

  Manufacturers recovery disks normally do not have Service Options; they are normally a relocation to the factory only settings option.

  Here is the guide to repair Options using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

  If a friend or a work acquantance of yours has one, you can borrow and use it for repairs.

  If you do not or can not borrow a Microsoft DVD there is a download of a file ISO of Vista Startup Repair available that you can put on a Bootable floppy to make the above startup repair and that the method is recommended by a large number of posters in these Forums.

  Unfortunately, you have to buy it.

  Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.

  It will also tell you which SP you have installed.

  Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, installation of SP1 first if it is not already installed.

If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

  b. If your computer has multiple operating systems, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

  3. in the display Advanced Startup Options, use the arrow keys to select the option of safe mode you want and press ENTER. For more information about the options, see startup options (including safe mode).

• Can I uninstall the Service Pack 3 on a computer preloaded with XP Professional/SP3?

  I need to uninstall the Service Pack 3 of a delivered computer pre-loaded with Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3. Is this possible? I read the support page for this, but to see if there is a difference between having SP3 preinstalled or updated through the windows update process.

  No, unless Windows XP Service Pack 3 is listed in Add/Remove Programs, right.

• SP2 error: "the Service pack installation cannot continue.

  Hello

  Hope someone can help with this.

  When I try to install SP2 I get this message "the Service pack installation cannot continue - is missing one or more components of the system which requires service pack."

  My computer is a Dell Studio 1737 laptop came with Vista Premium 64 bit OS. Received 3 months ago.

  Last week, I got a blue screen while making a rescue disk (I know, it's ironic), computer was slow, so I tried to do the system restore. System Restore does not work (I installed SP2 in fact at the moment, no problem). Looked for the solution, only thing I could find was to re - install OS repair mode (upgrade).

  Found some info on VLite (knew, it has not been accepted by MS). Did the repair installation with VLite, added updates and drivers, took only some of the great language files. Load and run fine, ran all updates to windows. When I tried to install SP2, I got the "Service pack installation cannot continue - one or more components of the system that requires the service pack are missing. Looking for solutions, concluded the MS 'this may be due to the installation of VLite"only resolution is to re - install with OEM disc.

  If that's what I did, re-installed, (repair - upgrade), once again. Load and run fine, ran all updates to windows. When I tried to install SP2 I got the "Service pack installation cannot continue - is missing one or more components of the system which requires service pack"-NEW.

  I have:

  -tried several times

  -uninstalled VLite (of fat)

  -Disabled antivirus, Norton 360

  -Downloaded the standalone KB948465 - X 64

  -guarantees for KB955430 and all updates were installed

  -Ran "reset windows update components.

  -Re-installed "Windows updater.

  -We searched MS forum and Web site for help, can't find anything on the message of"missing components".
