How can I install SP1 for an installed Vista without SP1?

Since my request for help, I decided to move from XP Pro to Vista.

The Vista upgrade disc had never been implemented.

That caused a problem.

I was able to accomplish the upgrade with authenticity and successful activation.

I did not know of SP1 is not responsible and are no longer supported by Microsoft and is first necessary before installing SP2.

When I tried to download the program KB936330 who took an hour and twenty minutes to load, she didn't.

Then I found KB947366 which did not work after using resolution 1.

Today, I used 2 resolution, what brought me to run KB947821 first, then return to KB936330.

KB947821 was successful, but the second attempt at KB936330 failed once again. The error code was: 0x800F0826.

I had hoped that by the upgrade I would have been more successful.

I noticed that there was perhaps a DVD for Vista SP1. Would that be available?

Otherwise, I seem to be dead in the water.

Your help and your advice would be much appreciated.

Hello

Microsoft offers is no longer a support to install it but the SP1 is available for download
and installation. Make sure that your BIOS, chipset and drivers are up-to-date - check with the system
Manufacturer (manufacturer of motherboard for custom systems) and major device driver manufacturers. You can
you will need to uninstall the antivirus/security programs in order to install a service pack.

    I need to install Vista professional.
    How can I do?
    I have to format it?
    So how do I install back all the utilities and drivers which it came with?
    I have problems with my laptop if I do this?

    Post edited by: xaralas

    Hello

    The Vista installation is not difficult.
    He just put the Vista disk in the STRANGE and then start from the disc.
    The installation will start automatically.

    But this will format your HARD drive and you will lose your installed Win XP and other files.

    > How can I install back all the utilities and drivers which it came with?
    I guess you have a Toshiba Recovery disk.
    If you want to retrieve the OS installed by Toshiba, then you need to use the Toshiba Recovery for recovery disk.

    PS: what Qosmio F do you have exactly? I ask because 108 F is not known to me

  • How can I install FireFox without all the addons? I want to just Firefox or IE 2nd best.

    I installed Firefox and these add ons was attached to it. Add ons like Nation Zoom and a pc fix and a speed of the pc programs. All I want is FireFox and nothing more. After got rid of all the "in bulk", I had to uninstall FireFox too. I therefore resorted to IE. I much prefer to have Firefox on IE, but if she came with the programs I don't want to, I can live with IE. I will also tell my friends about my experience with Firefox. I had no problem in the neck.

    MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, beginning 2013) El Capitan 10.11.3, Simple question here: I can't open FinalCut Express (4, I believe). The wheel turns for hours. How can I install/uninstall and will I lose all my old films (for the most part stored on external hard drives). Thanks for your suggestions.

    You will not lose anything, but the app if you uninstall. If you decide to uninstall use this app to make sure that all the other files which depends on FCE are also deleted however I can't give you any assurance as to whether you will be able to reinstall so that it works correctly. It is a software that has not been supported for almost 5 years and there are conflicting reports as to its compatibility with OS X 10.11. Can't I test it myself.

    Maybe someone else will chime in with their own experiences.

    Call Dell and ask them to provide you with a recovery disk to reinstall back to the factory settings.

    Manufacturers that make normally for a fee.

    Recovery of computer manufacturers discs normally do not require a product key of your share entry.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer case will determine which Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    See you soon.

    PS as you do not have a Vista disc read this:

    If you have never received a recovery to buying disk, you should have a recovery partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista from except if it has been damaged or removed from your drive hard when you install Windows 7...

    You don't give any information about the replacement of the hard disk. Everything you say is that it developed a fault, that a friend installed Windows 7.

    If you somehow fixed it and continue to use this drive, read about it using the recovery partition.

    If using a new hard drive to ignore it.
