    A repair installation isn't a big problem if you have the right drive. A new clean install is a much larger task.

    Notwithstanding, there is no certainty that it will solve the problem but it is very unlikely to harmful effects on the system.

    The missing file is a strange situation. It is formally identified in the Article, but on a Vista computer that I have here, there is no sign of the file. The difference with your computer, is that my updates normally and your not.

  • Vista Home Premium SP2 installation problems

    SP2 says its installed but Windows Update shows it as an available update. When I view the system information, it still shows only installed SP1. I tried the standalone install and I got error 0 X 80070564 connection failed. SP2 shows as has been properly installed on Windows updates the history but it shows also the lack of installation after 2-3 hours to install, restart, then back to sp1. I stop all AV, Spyware, adware, Windows Defender by other items on the SP2 installation problems. I also ran system preparation and the System File Checker. I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit on computer laptop HP DV5 Dual Core. I have not found anything on the failure error connection displayed in the standalone sp2 update.

    I would recommend trying to create a new user account with administrative privlages and you try to upgrade to SP2 from here. This will tell us if it has something to do with the internal components of your user account.

  • Network drivers no longer will charge after upgrade to Vista Home Premium sp2.

    On a laptop Sony PCG - 7113 L VGN-NR220E, that is running Windows Vista Home Premium sp1, I tried to upgrade to sp2 who said he could not make the transfer and restarted, tried once more and then restored sp1.  All came back as the same with the exception of all the network drivers cannot be loaded.  Here is a list of drivers who have failed.

    • ISATAP. Westell.com
    • Map Microsoft ISATAP #3
    • Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface
    • Marvell Yukon 88E8039 PCI-E Fast Ethernet
    • Controller of
    • LAN0Express AS IEEE 802.11 g PCI-E fit

    I went back to the site from Sony and all the latest drivers downloaded from the site and tried to install.  Only some allowed me to do even while administering it, but even those that didn't load on reboot even if it finds the drivers.

    I tried to uninstall the drivers in Device Manager, but nothing helped.  None of the drivers loaded when you restart.  I tried disabling verification of driver and reinstall the network drivers that I downloaded from Sony site without success.  Then I tried to download a driver directly from Marvell Yukon site for its pilot, but which also failed.

    Given that this approach did not work, I tried to get sp2 to load looking for why it was not installing.  I found a patch that was supposed to help the installation in certain situations that I loaded and sp2 installation I tried again a full download on another computer, which has not the same way.  I then tried to load sp1 over himself, but he refused, saying he was already loaded.

    I tried to start off backups old session, but without success.  I wouldn't have to reinstall the operating system everywhere, especially since I don't even know if the owner of the computer has a copy of the operating system.

    It seems to be that something related to all the fuction of network that worked before you attempt the installation of sp2 and was obvious immediately after.  Is there something I can do to restore the network features without a complete reinstallation of the operating system?
