  This problem has been corrected in Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1).

  What is a service pack?

  An update to software that combines new security and performance with existing updates improvements. Service packs can contain new features or changes to the design of a product.

  To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
  Determine if your type of operating system 32-bit or 64-bit.

  How will I know if my system type is 32-bit or 64-bit?

  Click the Start button, right-click computer, and then click Properties.

  Under system, you can view the system type.

  The average of 32-bit and 64-bit?

  Both 32-bit and 64-bit refer manner that your computer (CPU) CPU processes information. The 32-bit versions and 64-bit Windows are designed for use in computers with 32-bit processors or 64-bit, respectively.

  In the end, P.S. - know what long and thank you in advance for taking the time to read and respond.

  In addition, unrelated question. Does anyone know why my computer would always have an icon in the lower right shows a storage device mass that I did not and when nothing is plugged into ONE of my USB remove locations?

  Ralleny,
  Regarding mass storage disks that appear, you have housing of memory card reader on your PC?  Usually they will appear like this.  I have a HP at home that has a Bay of 5 card reader to the front and I see the same type of items that you see. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• Problems to install Service Pack 1 for Vista

  Hello

  I'm running my computer on Vista Home Premium 32 bit only.

  I'll just say everything that happened to that meets anyone knows exactly what is happening. Recently, I received a few DVDs of the trial version of Adobe, who quickly, I tried to install. The installer says I need Windows XP Service Pack 3 or Vista Service Pack 1. I found this curious because I thought that I had installed SP1 long ago when it appeared on Windows Live Update. After checking, I discovered that I had not installed for some reason any. I watched in Live Update for download, but it wasn't there, so I came on the Microsoft site and downloaded the stand-alone version of the service pack. I have closed all the programs that I had running and run Setup. He got to halfway through the installation bar (first?) and has stalled for a while, then extended to the end of the bar and displays an error, which contained a link to this page: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/947366. I followed the steps in resolution 2 and downloaded system update readiness tool. I ran the installer, but it seemed just to stall for a long time, so I canceled and he run. This time I got an error before he began to install (Code: 0 x 80240009). I looked for a solution and came across this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833, with some people claiming it fixed.

  I followed the steps and restarted my computer and it is no longer displayed the error, but it just keeps stalling at the installation screen. I decided to see if I could find an alternative

  solution to the original problem with the Service Pack and came across someone who says that McAffee was responsible, which is the virus scanner, that I installed it on my computer. I disabled

  pretty well all of the program, as well as my firewall and restarted the computer again. I ran the installation but got the same error. I have reactivated my firewall and McAffee and now I'm

  at a loss on what to do next.

  To sum up; I can't install SP1 or system analysis tool and I need to.

  If you need more information, let me know.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello, Ember09

  This seems to be an invalid data error code, Service Pack 1 installer was corrupted when you downloaded it, try to download it once more and check if you get the error again.

  Download the stand-alone update: x 64 | x 86

• Why is Microsoft so lazy? No Service Pack 3 for Vista. No Service Pack 2 for Windows 7, but now don't want to buy Windows 8? No thanks.

  I had to reinstall Vista last night after my computer started to report that there is no bootable devices found. It took most of the day to complete the fresh install. I had to download and install the Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2, which took about an hour each. And then finally, Windows update started downloading another 115 separate updates. Who has 'more' of time to install.

  Why Microsoft does not release a Service Pack 3 for Vista? Or better yet, why do they not release something like "Windows Vista: Final Edition" that you can buy and it just install and done with it.
  Why a company that rakes in billions of dollars in software sales annually manage their software products at the end of life so sloppily?
  Windows 8 is already gone gold and I have heard nothing about when will be released Windows 7 Service Pack 2. It seems that Microsoft always has an eye on the future, but never on the present. Always eager to make new sales but never the support of existing products.
  When a product reaches a number of updates, a Service Pack must certainly be considered. And a final edition that integrates all product Service Packs must be taken into account. It would make life so much easier.

  Hi arkitekromero,

  Given that repair options did not work for you.  I suggest you try the method below.

  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. Rename the Pending.xml file, and then change the registry notes read the following important notes before you use this troubleshooting method. Use this method to resolve the symptom of restart that is described in the "Symptoms" section, so that you can back up data before you reinstall Windows. You must use this method of troubleshooting only if you plan to back up data and reinstall Windows. Use this method only after trying other methods. Note If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer for instructions on how to continue. Use this method only if the computer has no restore points or if you cannot start your computer to a point where the system restore feature is available. After using this method, the following conditions may exist until reinstalling Windows: An update is being installed may not be installed correctly. Windows Update may not work correctly. If an update is installed, you may be unable to stop the installation process. You may be unable to enable and disable certain Windows functions in option. Certain optional Windows features may not work correctly. The computer may be in an unprotected state. To rename the Pending.xml file, and edit the registry, follow these steps. Start Windows Vista and go to system recovery options: Insert the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then restart the computer. When you are prompted to restart from the disc, press any key. When you are prompted, configure the language to install, time and currency formatsand keyboard or input method options that you want, and then click Next. On the Install Windows page, click repair your computer. In the System Recovery Options page, click the version of the Windows Vista operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next. Use the system recovery options to rename the Pending.xml file and modify the registry:

  1. In the System Recovery Options page, click command prompt.
  2. Type cd C:\windows\winsxs, and then press ENTER.
  3. Type ren pending.xml pending.old, and then press ENTER.
  4. Type regedit and press ENTER.
  5. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
  6. On the file menu, click load the hive.
  7. Look for the following folder:
     C:\windows\system32\config\components
  8. When you are prompted for a name, type Offline_Components.
  9. In the registry editor, find and delete the following registry subkey:
     HLKM\Offline Components\AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving
     HKLM\Offline Components\PendingXmlIdentifier

  Exit the registry editor:

  1. At the command prompt, type exit to quit the registry editor.
  2. Press ENTER.
  3. Click restart.

• Which Service Packs I have install during the installation of operating system?

  I intend to do a clean install of Windows XP Edition family on a replacement hard drive.  At this hour I'll also install updates recommended.  Should what Service Packs I install?

  Microsoft sites are ambiguous or incomplete information.  From my reading, it seems that I need to install the Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 to install Service Pack 3.  And yet the Service Packs are supposed to be cumulative updates, containing all updates released before the release of the latest Service Pack.  Have to install only the Service Pack 3 would be my preference, which would do the trick.

  What installation plan would give me the desired result (a nice, clean, full of XP and all installation updates recommended) more effective in terms of installation time and using the hard drive?

  After installation, remove the files?  It seems to me (and perhaps I got wrong this impression) that the Service Pack and the individual updates of XP I have installed in the past have left a huge amount of files on my hard drive, the files after successful installation, I might be able to remove without adverse consequences.  My feeling is that Microsoft (and many other reputable software providers) are happy to add you to their software, but they clean up after themselves.

  If you hired a Carpenter to build new cabinets in kitchen at home, he would not let the old cabinets, scrap lumber, loose nails and screws and tools scattered in your kitchen.  It would be to clean up all this in the context of completing the work.  I don't want to be unfair to Microsoft (in case I'm wrong about what they leave on my machine), but if they leave their installation files or obsolete older files (from earlier and now supplanted the Service Packs) on my machine, they are not complete the project.

  Your advice on what to install and how to clean up after installation will be appreciated.  Thank you.

  You must download and install Windows XP Service Pack 3.  Afterwards, visit Windows Update and download available later updates. Carey Frisch
