• Error installing service pack 2 unable to read or write in the database

  I had to reformat my computer and when you do updates, I can't upgrade to windows service pack 2. The error message says "Service Pack 2 Installation Error-failed to read or write to the database." I tried the solution that I found that told me to stop the cryptographic services, go to the CatRoot32 file and remove the Edbxxxxx.log file but when I open the file there is no log file for me to remove it. I reformatted before and never had this problem. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

• I can't install service pack 3, I get an error that ntkrnlpa.exe is in use by another application

  I search on the forum and found that another user had the same problem but nobody answered.

  What happened is that I had a few viruses that my computer shuts down completely.  I have simply no money to buy or update of protection against the virus at the moment.  So, my computer crashed.  Then I had to use my system restore disks to restore my computer.  Then, after that I restored my computer now goes to the blue screen and scans files each time.  At the end of the list is a message: unable to write to the boot sector (according to me, it is said).

  Then I accidentally downloaded a virus.  He was disguised as a MS program and was called FixIt.  I couldn't get down there and he asked for credit card information.  I don't give any information and was able to use a browser to display the McAfee, then remove.  Then I used Malwarebytes to remove some other virus.  Not knowing what else to do, I tried to defrag and received an error message that my C: drive has been corrupted.

  My CD Player no longer works and my computer has problems.  I thought that if I downloaded the FixIt problem, it could solve some of the problems it is to have my computer.  It won't work because I have not installed Service Pack 3.

  When I try to intall Service Pack 3, it extracts files and brings me to setupwizard and then gets up to a certain point, and I get an error message as follows:

  c:\windows\system32\ntkrnlpa.exe file is open or in use by another application.

  I don't know what else to do.  I have everything turned off.  I tried to download and save to my desktop and it still won't work.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  When I ran Process Explorer, I have disabled this file ntkrnlpa.exe.  I couldn't tell what was using this file - but I got the Google Redirect virus, so I thought that a virus has access to this file and prevents me from doing anything.  I don't know if that was the case, it was just my guess that it was what was going on.

  It worked for me.  It temporarily disables this file and then you can install Service Pack 3.

  I received instructions on my site quietfish.ca if you want to check.

• I get error Code 80070002 when I try to install Service Pack 1.

  Vista will not be updated to the Service Pack 1 or 2

  I have Vista and have windows automatically updates.  Of course, it is never updated with the Service Pack 1 or 2, and when I go to Windows updates, it says I have no updates available.  Recently I had trouble with my anti-virus software, and they said it was because my computer has not been updated.  I didn't know that I was not common.   However, I get error Code 80070002 when I try to install Service Pack 1, so SP2 cannot be downloaded until I get this one.  I tried everything I could find as an aid, but they were especially when people had problems years ago, when it came out.  What can I do?

  Hi kimber222,

  If these steps are not successful, the next step is and InPlace upgrade. This process is an alternative to reinstalling the operating system. During the process, some of your custom Windows settings may be lost.

  Run a repair installation will restore your current install of Windows to the version of the installtion CD/DVD. You will have to reinstall all the updates that are not included on the CD/DVD.

  Although this process should not damage files and the applications installed on your computer, it is always safe to make sure that you have a recent backup of your data and how to reinstall all software you have installed.

  Fill out the next step for the InPlace upgrade:

  1. Close all open applications.
  2. Insert the Windows Vista CD/DVD intot he computers CD/DVD drive.
  3. In the windows installation program, click install now.

  Note If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:

  Click on start and type Drive: \setup.exein the box to start the search.

  Note The placeholder drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD.

  List programs, click Setup.exe.

  In the settings window, click install now.

  1. click on connect to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).

  2. type the CD key if you are prompted to do so.

  3. Select the operating system in the "Windows Installer" page you want to update or Inplace.

  4. click Yesto accept the Microsoft software license agreement.

  5. on the which type of installation you want? of the screen, click upgrade.

  6. when the installation is complete, restart your computer.
