After you install service pack 2 for windows vista
After installing service pack 2 for windows vista on my HP laptop, I started having a few problems. First off the computer would not go beyond the Welcome screen because he showed that an update was the installation (step 1 of 3:0 % etc.) and the computer reboots before finish. It kept the case whenever I started upward, even on safe mode. I tried to restore, but it would never be completed and nothing else would work. Now I can't go beyond the microsoft loading screen because it shows a black flat screen with no cursor. I can't enter safe mode. Help, please. Safe mode only shows the start screen but won't start so I can't access the control panel and tried to boot to the last known successful startup but it failed.

Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html
Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

Hello
I tried to download and install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition, or anything like that on the internet without success. According to me, the key word is internet or a block of Vista from the internet to install anything. Many people here get the same error 80070005 for SP2 as I am, but I think that the problem is with Vista, how the system allows any installs or blocks installed from the internet. I suppose that some are able to go through the download process, but installation is where it does not pass through. There are moments where it seems that the installation of SP2 works, but it will fail eventually. Other times what ever happens to the installation process. The same goes for all other downloads and installs from the internet. I am able to install a program that already exists on the computer, so I know that installs works just not the Internet. Do not send me a link to install because it probably won't last through. I may be able to download but installation will not pass by so that the program will not work. I used the words installation and internet a lot for some reason please take account, when responding.
Thank you
https://support.Microsoft.com/OAS/default.aspx?PRID=13014&Gprid=582034&St=1

I tried many times to print a simple USPS shipping label today, I could download a USPS 88 page manual, but not the program to print the label or the label. They say that if I use Windows XP Home Edition, I have Service Pack 4 or later. I can't find any reference to Service Pack 4 on Microsoft help programs.
Now I'm wondering if there is a solution about my fate. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank youThere is no service pack 4 for Windows XP.

Recovery disc to clean the computer. Discoveries from my software was 2004 I download all 'service pack' and update to restore my computer to where it was. SP1a downloaded but cannot download SP2. Now it says "Windows Installer does not" and "run a DLL as an app". How can I fix without having to pay $ 39.99 for an online business? There must be a way to solve this problem, so I can use or re - download the "Windows Installer"
original title: used the recovery disk, downloaded SP1, but cannot download sp2 as error "the installer of windows no longer - run a DLL as an app.» How can I fix it?
You can download the Service Pack, a complete package and install in offline mode. Since you already SP1A, you can go to SP3 directly, bypassing the SP2. Ingore the text on the following links which indicate that what follows is for "Professionals" and "Network Installation" and download SP3 from the following link and install it after it downloads. You can download on another computer if you want to move to your current computer:

Server did not respond error when you try to install Service Pack 1 for Windows XP.
I had to do a restore system with xp home edition. Trying to update from sp1 which has been downloaded to the thumb drive and sent to my office at the top of the page. starts to load, and then tells me that the server did not respond. I am connected
You do not start with a service pack earlier and go to the top. You only download the latest service pack. The latest service pack for Windows XP Home Edition is Service Pack 3.
Go to Windows Update and see if you can find it there.
If this isn't the case, then you can manually download it here:
http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=25129
It is a CD image file that requires you to burn to a CD or use a virtual CD/DVD software like Virtual CloneDrive. This allows you to open the ISO file as if it was a real CD inserted into your DVD drive. All you have to do is double-click the ISO file, once you have installed this program. Run the configuration file.

Addition of Service Pack 3 for Windows XP Home Edition creates the system failure
We have an older Compaq Presario that came with Windows XP Home Edition. [a Pentium 1 2005]
I try to install Windows Live Onecare (free Qwest). When I update our Windows XP Home with Service Pack 3, when I reboot I get a black screen that says that there is an error with a recent change of hardware or drivers. So I boot safe mode.
There has been no hardware changes.
I did a destructive restore by using the Compaq recovery disk which is supposed to wipe the drive and reinstall everything.
I can update Windows XP with service pack 3 and everything works. When I install Windows Live Onecare, at the next restart I get the same black screen and need to start in safe mode.
I can do a destructive restore and load Windows Live Onecare and work without any problem as long as I do not install Service Pack 3.
I tried to make recovery of Windows with the same results. I can do a restore before any point where I do not have the Windows Live Onecare and the Service Pack 3 and everything works fine.So I guess that there is a conflict between Windows XP Service Pack 3 and Windows Live Onecare on this computer. I have both works well on other computers in our home network, but they are Pentium III or higher.
Anyone know if there is a difficulty, or just simply never through my XP Home SR3?
TIA, LR0451
