Problem installing Windows Vista Service Pack 1

Greetings,
I've been running Windows Vista for a while now. In general, I have no problem. I tried to install Service Pack 1 with a bit of luck.

My first attempt was to install using Windows Update. When it installs it gives me error 0 x 80070490

My second attempt was to install it as a Sandalone by Windows.com. He also gave me an error
0 x 80070490

I followed the instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947366.
I tried all resolutions and nothing will work.

Both times when I try to install it, the bar fills up all the way and then fails (no reboot or anything else) with in a few minutes. It restarts what only it either just fails or not. I tried using safe mode and normal Mode.

I tried to repair Windows to solve the problem. While the repair done, the computer has restarted and gave me the 'blue screen of death', the only way he could properly load was to load mode without failure. I had to wrap the last know configuration to start normally.

I'm running out of good ideas please help

Desperate, try: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821
Description of the preparation tool update for Windows Vista for Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 system

Usually, the tool is available to computers that could benefit from these tools, but you can manually download the same and see if it helps.

Unfortunately with your error code, it is usually a necessary repair install, but the damage may be too much even for a repair installation.

BTW - back up your important files just in case where you don't have to start over.

  • Cannot install Windows Vista Service Pack 2. The following error message appears: 0X800707d1

    Hello

    Three years ago, I bought a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. Never met a problem until I tried to install Windows Vista Service Pack 2. I already followed each step instructions Support of Microsoft issues Service Pack for any result or solution. In these cases, I have downloaded the pack update directly from the wepage of Windows Vista, installed Windows Update Readiness Tool, disabled my antivirus (McAfee) and came up with nothing. I even tried to install this update in Mode safe but also failed to install Service Pack 2.

    What is happening all the time, is that I double click on archive downloaded in order to install (having already started my computer in Mode safe mode with networking reportoire and disabled the antivirus as well as its firewall). The Service Pack window opens and I click 'Next' for all the necessary instructions, including 'the computer automatically restarts. When the toolbar installation is completed, the computer automatically goes to restart itself. 3 steps appear as a requirement for the completion of the installation process. All goes well until he reaches "step 3 of 3:100% finished. Do not turn off your computer. After about ten minutes of stall in this step, the following message appears on the screen: "the Service Pack cannot be installed, returning from changes. Do not turn off your computer.

    The computer then rolls back all the changes and initiated in the normal state. After the opening, the first window that appears displays the following message: "the specific driver is not valid. "(Details): error: ERROR_BAD_DRIVER (0x800707d1). I proceeded to check and update alone driver of my computer, then try again to install the Windows Vista SP2 and all the operation has been a failure. I was cracking my head trying to solve this particular problem, and each time the same error pops up. I am seriously considering reformatting Windows Vista from manufacturer CD from my Dell, but I don't know if that would help.

    If someone could help or advise with everything that I would appreciate it a lot.
