New installation of Vista service pack 1... will not restart

Helping a friend clean an old computer.  said it ws no problem.  Laptop filled with viruses.  I cleaned then say that Service Pak 1 necessary to download.  I did it and now the laptop does not restart

Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

 

Restore point:

http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

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 restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do 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.

See you soon.

  • Vista Service Pack 2 will not ' cold' start

    I have a Dell Studio 1737 I bought last week. Windows Vista Service Pack 2 update offered. I selected it and ran through the upgrade. He completed all 3 steps and rebooted. Seems to work very well. I turned off the laptop and went to bed.

    This morning, the laptop complete the power on self test and went to boot Vista. Nothing for 20 minutes then a warning to the blue screen. He himself deleted before that I could read what caused the BSOD and then tried a reboot. Black screen for 20 minutes with no hard disk activity. Manually, I forced a stop down and loaded the boot menu. Choose the Startup Repair. After 30 minutes, advised by the screen to try a restore to an earlier version running. It took another hour, but it worked.

    Update Windows SP2 offered again. Thinking that it may have been an installation failed, tried again. Downloaded and installed SP2, these three steps successfully completed. Yet once computer rebooted (hot start) and did fine. Shut down the system and restarted (cold boot). Same results! MESSAGE completed and handed over to Vista SP2 and then black screen. Took me another 90 minutes, but I restored it to Vista SP1, now it works well.

    So I can run Vista Home Premium 64 bit SP1 without problem but SP2 does not work?

    Update looking for a 64-bit SP2 or just blindly offer software?

    I think that Microsoft is using me as a Guinea pig.

    I'm supposed to receive a DVD of Windows 7 from Dell, in an upgrade. I am wary to install it now since SP2 does not work yet. I was so angry, I jumped out early without digging further, but now I think I might very well be better to stay with SP1 and jump more "updates" unless someone can tell me what is happening here.

    How SP1 can be compatible, but SP2 is not?

    And if all you can afford is a response of canned paste, boiler, don't waste your time. All it will do is make me madder.

    Apparently, offered to customers by Windows Update SP2 update is NOT a complete or is not 64-bit capable.

    UH - huh...

    1. What is the full name of your application or the installed antivirus security suite and when (date about) because your current subscription expires?  What (other than Defender) anti-spyware applications are installed?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

    1B. were ALL of those applications that run in the background when you initially tried install SP2?

    2. do you have a free trial Norton, or a test of free McAfee [a] come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? (No matter if you have never used or activated).

  • Vista Service Pack 2 will not install on my Vista.

    Since the Service Pack was released I tried to install it. And each time, repeatedly, he'll prepare my computer, tell me to restart, it will do the "install Windows Vista Service Pack 2 1/3 0% Complete" thing when I restart and right at the end where it says "3/3 100% complete" it will stop for about a minute, then say "Service Pack was not installed. Returning change"and it'll take about half an hour at a time to undo everything he does simply, without any reason. I don't know what is happening, and it's the most frustrating thing because it won't go away, and I do not understand how to fix it. Could someone help me with what to do please?

  • Windows vista service pack 2 - will not recognize the presence of service pack 1

    Here's the situation

    I installed Windows service pack 1 (32-bit)
    computer restarts
    tried to install service pack 2, but it will not be installed because he thinks that I have not installed service pack 1
    went to automatic updates yesterday and he said that I had to install service pack 1, so I let him install that
    Updates checked to automatic update today... He always thinks that I need to install Service Pack 1 I did
    tried to install SP 2 but he always thinks that I have installed SP 1
    My ultimate goal is to install parental controls of Windows, but I think that's not possible unless I have SP1 and SP2 and Platform for Vista update

  • For Windows Vista, Service Pack 1 will not completely install.

    On Windows Vista Home Premium, 32 - bit system, trying to update Explorer 7, that no longer works, to Explorer 9, which requires SP1 (KB936330) and SP2 as required components.  I use Windows Update method, Guard sent me with Service Pack 1 (KB936330) to update.  However, I do, and then he said it will take about an hour and do not use my computer.  I do this but in a few minutes 'complete' and said "completed successfully."  I have now more than a finished SP1 (KB936330) entry on my page in the history of the update, BUT does not appear under installed updates, so it seems that's not install completely.  Why?  How should I fill this out so I can go on installing SP2, then Explorer 9?

  • Windows Vista Service Pack 1 will not install. -It says "cannot install, change recovery."

    I recently installed windows Vista Home Basic on a hard nine. I want to install sp1, but after long hours of reboot and installation, step 3 of 3, it says "cannot install, restoration of the changes." subsequently, an error message appears indicating that an .exe file (it started with MNT) is corrupted. I was able to remedy this through the command prompt (chkdsk) but I want to know how to install sp1. I ran an sfc scan result were he finds files corrupt, but he couldn't fix it. I then ran the option upgrade from vista startup disk and sfc shows that there are corrupted files. The newspaper did not show all corrupted files sfc was not able to solve. I ran sp1 install from both standalone and windows update. I chose the option the first time and the second time, I shut down the computer and booted from safe mode.
