    Hi Colonel biggs,

    Welcome to the Forums Microsoft Vista

    This problem may occur if one of the following conditions is true:

    · A program on your computer interfered with the installation of the service pack.

    · There is an inconsistency in the store of Windows services. The store Windows maintenance is a required component to install service packs.

    To resolve this problem, try each resolution in the 'General resolution"and the"Advanced Troubleshooting"section in the order in which they are presented. After trying a resolution, try to install the service pack again. If you can't always install the service pack, try the next resolution.

    Resolution 1: Install the stand-alone package for the service pack instead of using Windows Update to install the Service Pack

    Note If you have already tried to install the stand-alone package for the service pack and you have encountered this problem, skip this resolution and go to resolution 2.

    If you don't know if you've tried to install the stand-alone package for the service pack, it is recommended that you try the following steps to install the stand-alone package for the service pack. By using the stand-alone package to install the service pack, you eliminate installation issues that may be related to Windows Update. This simplifies the troubleshooting process

    Solution 2: Run the system update readiness tool

    System Update tool checks your computer and trying to resolve certain conditions that can interfere with the installation of the updates or other software. However, before you download the tool, you must determine whether your computer is running a 32-bit version or a 64 bit version of the Windows Vista operating system. If your computer is Windows Vista installed, and you know which version you are using, go to the section "how to download the system update readiness tool. If you are unsure which version your computer has installed, follow these steps:

    1. click on Start

    2. collapse this includes it in the Search box, type System, and then click System in the programs list.

    The operating system is displayed as follows:

    · For a 32 - bit version operating system, 32-bit operating system appears for the system type under System.

    · For a 64 - bit version operating system, 64-bit operating system appears for the system type under System.

    After you determine which version of Windows Vista, your computer is running, download system update readiness tool.

    Resolution 3: Close or disable any applications that may be running, restart the computer and then install the service pack

    1. Close all applications and restart your computer.
    2. Once your computer has restarted, disable any antivirus or any antispyware application that can load during the startup process. You can normally disable the notification area application. This area is located in the bottom right corner of the computer screen. To disable an application in the notification area, follow these steps:
      1. Right-click the icon of the third-party program.
      2. Click Close, disable, outputor an equivalent term in the list of options. If these options are not available, you may open the application and then close or disable in the application.
    1. As soon as you close the antivirus or the antispyware software, try to install the download package full of the service pack that you previously downloaded from the following Microsoft Download Center Web site:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads)

    1. After completing the installation of the service pack, enable the antivirus or the antispyware software that you disabled in the previous steps.
