Error Code 800703E3 when installing Service Pack 1 on Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.

I ran System Scan (programs / access / Comm. guest / Admin / sfc/scannow), I downloaded and ran hard it for Windows Microsoft updates, I also downloaded and installed the system (4/2009) KB947821 update tool via troubleshooting and tried to download and install without protection (via troubleshooting Microsoft Website) nothing helps, my attempts have failed and I'm waiting for my success , so I can run my trial version of Power Point 2011... that's how I discovered I was missing SP1. Help, please!? And thank you so MUCH! :-) Nikki

  • Code 800F0816 when installing Service pack 1 in Windows Vista

    I had an 0146 error code, I replaced the hard drive and installed Vista from a DVD of resettlement. So far, all of the updates has loaded fine. When it comes time to download and install service pack 1, it ok until the end it says that is is unable to load the update and I get and error message stating the Code 800F0816. What should I try to get this pack to load?

    I went on the link. What happens is the Welcome to Windows screen. A little lower I can 'get it now' [Microsoft] Security Essentials...

    Microsoft Security Essentials is available only when the WGA scan does not detect the presence of a valid, fully functional antivirus application.  Yet another symptom of an existing infection (ongoing).

    Your 'copy' of the VAS is installed illegally & will NOT work correctly.

    Do a clean install. After completing the clean install this time (in order):

    1. uninstall the Trend Micro application (which will also be reinstalled, but now invalid) & restart.

    2 download/install Microsoft Security Essentials (free), instead of customer Service: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx

    3. launch repeated manual checks for Windows Updates & install updates they are offered (follow all prompts) until you finally got SP2 & all post-SP2 installed updates.

    Do NOTHING else online (e.g., navigation electronic control cat; download/installation of other stuff) until you have completed step 3 above.

    Also do NOT connect the computer to local networks (i.e. other computers) or restore all backed up data.

    If you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system

    Notes:

    => You will not be able go to Win7 unless & until Vista SP1 is installed.

    -Online a manufacturer OEM version of Windows is permanently tied to the computer on which it is preinstalled. You may not use the OEM Win7 disc to upgrade Vista to Win7 computer or do a clean install of Win7.

  • Can I temporarily install an OEM version of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium on a virtual PC?

    original title: can I TEMPORARILY install a copy of OEM Vista home on Virtual PC

    I want to do a test run of my upgrade scheduled by using Virtual PC to make sure that I select the correct options which will not FUBAR my current system.

    To this end, can I take the drive provided by gateway labeled "Disk Operating System" and install on virtual pc by using the product key from the back of my PC, while at the same time that the current key is used to run the host operating system.

    I don't care about activation within 30 days, nor I care incidentally WGA (unless to do an upgrade installation), or even legality because of some stupid too restrictive EULA, I just keep can I do to make it work, then try to upgrade to 7 business to a second drive.

    When the tests are done, I'll delete the virtual machine and try it on the "live" system The problem is that I need to use the system with the keys that I use for these tests to do as I have nothing else not powerful enough to run Virtual PC for Vista/7.

    I'd rather FUBARing a virtual computer to the computer that I use to post on this forum. I don't want to take the risk of disabling the key on my current system because he thinks that I moved the key to a new.

    in fact, you were right for the wrong reason. It did not work with Virtual PC, but not for the reason you think. Setup requires a 64-bit computer.

    Makes me wonder, which actually means "virtual PC 64"? I thought I had the 64-bit version of VirtualPC.

    On the other hand, VMware Player had no problem with the installation. I put the virtual machine have no network card or any medium of communication. Also found it was a good thing that I was intending to double, as I can't upgrade with what I have. Or maybe it's because I have a not activate the installation I did.

    What I was trying to do, is check what to do a dual boot works the same way with Vista/7 as it does with previous versions of windows. I was thrown off the coast by warnings from installation CD on "this option does NOT keep your files. Audit confirmed through VMware Player.

    I install on a second disc with a backup of some files on what I decided to save the 80 GB for Linux drive. I wish it was an IDE hard drive, as I have much more need for a > 40 GB drive but<13Xgb (i="" can't="" recall="" what="" that="" bios="" limit="" on="" older="" computers="" was,="" it="" was="" 130-something,="" but="" some="" it="" was="" 127gb)="" on="" another="" older="">

  • Cannot install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition or anything else on the internet.

    Hello

    I tried to download and install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition, or anything like that on the internet without success. According to me, the key word is internet or a block of Vista from the internet to install anything. Many people here get the same error 80070005 for SP2 as I am, but I think that the problem is with Vista, how the system allows any installs or blocks installed from the internet. I suppose that some are able to go through the download process, but installation is where it does not pass through. There are moments where it seems that the installation of SP2 works, but it will fail eventually. Other times what ever happens to the installation process. The same goes for all other downloads and installs from the internet. I am able to install a program that already exists on the computer, so I know that installs works just not the Internet. Do not send me a link to install because it probably won't last through. I may be able to download but installation will not pass by so that the program will not work. I used the words installation and internet a lot for some reason please take account, when responding.

    Thank you

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  • After you install service pack 2 for windows vista

    After installing service pack 2 for windows vista on my HP laptop, I started having a few problems. First off the computer would not go beyond the Welcome screen because he showed that an update was the installation (step 1 of 3:0 % etc.) and the computer reboots before finish. It kept the case whenever I started upward, even on safe mode. I tried to restore, but it would never be completed and nothing else would work. Now I can't go beyond the microsoft loading screen because it shows a black flat screen with no cursor. I can't enter safe mode. Help, please. Safe mode only shows the start screen but won't start so I can't access the control panel and tried to boot to the last known successful startup but it failed.
