• Laptop does not start after installing vista sp2

  My Dell XPS 1530 stopped working after installing vista sp2. He gave me instructions for installation, step 1 of 3 and it went all that they way up to step 3 of 3 and said its closure and never came back...
  Please let me know, how to start the laptop.

  Hello GoogleGuru,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.
  Because your computer does not start until the desktop computer, we were able to try the system restore to a point before you install SP2.
  Thus, with the computer is shut down. Press the power button, then press on and press F8 until you see the startup options, and then it will give you the ability to boot to the last known good configuration. (select it).

  If this does not work, you can try to boot from the Vista DVD and use the recovery console to perform a restore of the system to another point in time.

  Post back with the results.

  Thank you

• Used to install Vista SP2. error code 800705b 3 error_requires_interactive_windowstation

  I now tried installing Vista sp2 several times and get the above error message.

  I have Windows Vista Home premium 32-bit with Service Pack 1.

  I use Google Chrome as a browser and Kaspersky Internet security as a security suite.

  I have a Dell Dimension desktop computer about 6 years now with 1 GB of Ram & AMD Athlon 64 x 2 Dual Core Processor5000 + 2.6 GHz.

  Although I am British my windows operating system is in German.

  I tried a lot of different options suggested on google and Microsoft.

  I tried to install windows update, but that has not worked.

  I also downloaded the SP2 and system update readiness tool and tried to install again, which didn't work.

  I tried to install in safe mode. I did a clean boot and tried to install.

  I checked the registry for the vLight folder see if that was causing the problem, but there was no record vLight.

  I downloaded the Microsoft Fixit 50202 but still cannot install.

  I hope someone can help. All tips are welcome.

  Do you think we (or rather you) will be able to decipher this problem or are - it probably that I have to reinstall Vista and SP1, and then try again to install SP2...

  My #1 concern is the fact that your computer has been & still lacks so many updates of security reviews.

  • Support for Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) ended on Tuesday, July 12, 2011. Computers still running Vista SP1 "will no longer updates [i.e., updates published after July 12, 2011 so you're now nearly three 3 years behind on security updates critical!]. from Windows Update"until SP2 has been installed (this will require several prerequisite updates be installed first).

  Even if we managed to get SP2 installed, there's a very good chance that one or several updates released since July 12, 2011 will not be able to install.

  Then there's the fact that your computer - and the data on it - has been at risk for so long.

  Therefore, the only way you can ever trust the computer sescurity again would be of formatting the hard drive - and then do a clean installation of Windows (Vista or Win7).

  See the poster in this thread and follow the instructions of (my) WHOLE (to-the-letter & in order! ) to restore your computer to a State safe & functional: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/c44429fb-3f7c-4646-8529-5a97bb3cd0eb

  If you need additional help with the clean install of Vista, please start your own new thread in this forum & advice: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system

  If these procedures are outside your technique "comfort zone" - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the local computer, reputable and independent (i.e., not a "BigBoxStore") computer repair shop & let them do the work.

  Note: The computer must NOT be connected to the internet or local networks (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

  Wish I had better news for you.  Good luck!

• I can't install Vista SP2.

  original title: my PC crashed and I had to re - install Windows Vista but now I can not install Vista SP2.  I tried all of the suggestions that I could find, how to install SP2 for Vista?

  As I said, I did research any possible suggestion, including stop my anti-virus program, but still not get SP2 to install for Windows Vista.

  Note: Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not to uninstall (or upgraded) themselves.

  1. have you (has) uninstall the pre-installed Norton free version to test AND THEN (b) download/run the Norton removal tool [1] & restart (c) BEFORE you installed AVG Free or any other antivirus application (not to mention SP2)?

  2. when (date about) you have to install Microsoft Security Essentials (I guess) and the computer was fully patched to Windows Update at the time?

  2B. was Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) offered & installed via Windows Update or you intentionally chose to install it?

  3 MSE is auto-update itself about once every 24 hours or it is installed?

  4 can update you MSE manually via the button of UPDATE on the MSE UPDATE tab?

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

  Note: The computer must NOT be connected to the internet or local area network (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

• interruption of the internet connection after installing vista sp2, only a local network

  Hello
  Since I installed vista sp2 last week, I have no internet connection. Just, my laptop connects to the local network. I had already tried to uninstall sp2, but this does not resolve the issue. A restore of the system has not been successful (do not know why, windows just said failure of system restore). I also deleted my antivirus program and my firewall...
  The internet works occasionally for a short time and when I start in safe mode.
  Because I live in a House that I have to use a fix ip, gateway and dns. After you install sp2, windows says my default gateway does not match my ip address and subnet mask when I change the properties of TCP/IPv4. Using another laptop with XP, the internet connection works with the same settings.
  I would be grateful for a quick solution, without formatting ;)

  I've highlighted the TCP/IPv6 line of course ;) the button was inactive when even
  in the registry, I saw WHAT TCP/IPv6 is already disabled

  my internet actually works, but I don't know why
  I deleted the file DisabledComponets for TCP/IPv6 in the registry, rebooted, create one, rebooted and it worked
  but I do not know why :)
  I hope that my internet is still functional

• Cannot install Vista SP2 on a boot system double GRUB bootloader

  I can't install the Vista SP2 on my system dual-boot, GRUB bootloader. SP2 through the complete installation process fails at the end of step 3, and uninstalls. Is this because I use the GRUB bootloader? Is there a workaround and if so, what?

  Set the boot on your Vista partition indicator and only this partition. Grub should continue to work properly, but have a convenient, just Linux boot disk in case you need to reinstall back to Linux.

• Cannot install Vista SP2; 'upgrade' disabled when I try and re - install by KB958044

  Hello

  After three days of struggle with trying to get Vista Ultimate (purhcased at the United States) SP2 update, and several failures of various updates automatically downloaded from Windows Update: I finally found and read

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/VistaInstall/thread/09c291bf-3868-4DFA-8004-139ec8018aa1

  MS response has been a link to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958044

  But when I try to follow the instructions in KB958044: 'upgrade' is disabled.

  I don't really wish to throw three days work of re - install my programs, tweak the settings, etc.

  Thank you, Bill Woodruff Bill Woodruff

  Hi Bill Woodruff.

  Because the standalone SP2 package failed with the error: '0 x 80070490', you can try to run Checksur (KB947821) to address corruption in the manifest of component maintenance (EC) and try to install SP2 Standalone Package.

  To run Checksur (KB947821) follow the mentioned below as follows:

  (1) download and run the system update by the following article preparation tool: KB947821. Description of the system update tool for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821

  (2) put the computer in Cleanboot before installing the stand-alone Package of SP2:

  To perform the cleanboot, refer to:

  Click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue. On the general tab, click Selective startup, Selective Startup.Under, clear the check box load startup items. Click the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all. Click OK.

  How to perform a clean boot procedure to determine if background programs are interfering with a game or a program that you currently use: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939671

  (3) try to install the stand-alone Package for Windows Vista SP2.

  (4) after Installation of SP2, put the computer in Normal mode:

  Click Start and type msconfig in the box start the search. On the general tab, select "NORMAL STARTUP". Click on apply, then OK. When you are prompted, click on restart.

  However if SP2 fails to install again, then you can have make a repair or Installation upgrade Inplace of Vista to install SP2 as mentioned in article KB958044 after uninstalling SP1.

  During the Upgrade Installation process, you will get the options go online to get the latest updates for installation and do not receive updates for installation. If you choose the option to go online to get updates, then it tries to download updates for the installation process, the windows updates required for Installation, including driver updates and it won't include all the latest Service Packs for Windows Vista.

  If you get an error "upgrade is disabled" when you try the Inplace upgrade, it may be due to a version of Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 installed, you can not upgrade by using media that does not Service Pack 1. If you have a drive without SP1 and SP1 is installed on the computer as an update, you need to maybe uninstall SP1 first and then start the Installation of upgrade or you can arrange a full disc with SP1 to make Installation of upgrade by using the product key came with your upgrade disc.

  For more information, please visit the link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951247

  If you try to uninstall SP1 to upgrade Installation, you can follow the mentioned below as follows:

  1) click Start, type Appwiz.cpl in the Start Search box, and then click Appwiz.cpl in the list programs.
  (2) If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

  3) click View installed updates. Click service (KB936330) package you want to uninstall, and then click on uninstall.
