• 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.

• I get error code@80073aa2 when I try to install service pack 2. all the so certificate errors when I try to down load any anti-virus program

  error 80073aa2

  If there is no anti-virus installed on your computer, it is likely infected. You need to clean it up before you can install an antivirus and certainly you don't want to try to install a Service Pack on an infected computer.

  You need to clean it up first.

  If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all shops are skilled at removing malware, and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will have to be properly installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Get a message from catastrophic failure with error 0x8000FFFF on backup code

  Original title: I get a message of catastrophic failure.

  Error code 0x8000FFFF while trying to backup files every time. What should I do about it?

  Hi granniewilsey,

  This problem occurs because the backup process detects that the system drive is dirty.

  Windows Vista backup always includes the system as part of the backup drive. If the system drive is dirty, the backup process skips the system drive, and no snapshot of the system drive is created. Therefore, the backup cannot locate a snapshot of the system drive later, and the error occurs.

  To resolve this problem, run the disk check to fix the error on the system drive. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the article below:

   

  Error message when you try to perform a backup system on a Windows Vista-based computer: "catastrophic failure (0x8000FFFF)".

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/973558

  Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

  My system (Vista 32-bit SP2) tried to install update KB980248 for several weeks, but I keep getting error code 80073712.  I tried to follow the directions on the site by running the system preparation tool update... did not work.  Then I tried to go back to a restore point and try the update again.  Yet once, didn't. I went back several restore points, but it has always failed.  I don't have an installation DVD, because it came with Vista preloaded.
