  • Problem with Windows 7 Service Pack 1: the update process crashes during every start/restart

    Hello.

    I downloaded the SP1 for Windows 7 from Microsoft Download Center (I had the Ultimate 64-bit edition initially installed on my computer). I ran the installer and went through the process of updating until the first reboot. Since that time, my system is unbootable not. Windows 7 starts to run and then the SP1 update process runs and applies the changes to the registry and system files. After awhile, the update process freezes and I have to turn off the computer with the power switch. This is repeated again and again each time you start. He stops to date when he reached update number 117880 of 334835 or 334835 117930 (but not always these specific), and he is trying to change some registry entries apparently: 'operation 334835 (\Reg...) 117880 update application', this is what is shown on the screen below the still glowing Windows logo.

    In addition the secure boot mode, startup mode safe with networking, security console startup mode, last known good configuration options do not work. They all start to load but crash after a while (as if the same SP1 update process has been run in silent mode).

    I don't want to reinstall Windows 7 from zero and all the applications that have been installed. The ERD that I generated after my initial installation can not solve the problem, nor the Windows 7 can install DVD. It doesn't let me do an upgrade from the original DVD since it has not be started from the hard drive and then launched from within Windows 7.

    I looked in several discussions of the forum and found that my NTFS partition is marked 'active' as it should.

    I plugged my HARD drive on another computer and have access to its content.

    So is it possible to stop this automatic process and be able to start (in the original state of Windows 7)? At least to re - install Windows 7 via the DVD upgrade mode and then installing SP1 on a little further.

    Perheaps the log files from the SP1 update process could be useful, but I don't know where they are on the HARD drive.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello.

    My startup problem is resolved. Now I can start Windows 7 and use my system again.

    I used the dism.exe tool back updates on hold through a wire found in the TechNet Forums: "C000009A update operation 334565 (\Registry\...) 119595 application error". loading SP1"(see link below).

    I launched WinRE with my Windows 7 installation DVD, selected my C: partition where Windows 7 has been installed, click on the button 'Next', refused to the proposed repair phase, and then chose the prompt for commands and typed:

    DISM.exe / Image: c: \ / Cleanup-Image /RevertPendingActions

    It took less than 15 minutes for the tool to the end I restarted my computer and waited a few operations update, then Windows restarted and more, and finally I was on my homescreen. After my connection, a dialog box been told that SP1 was installed (the winver.exe command showed that SP1 installed too).

    I think that now that I have completely will be re - install Windows 7 in upgrade mode, recheck all the pre-requisites for SP1, uninstall all language but English modules, uninstalling my anti-virus and anti-spyware programs disconnect you from the Internet and run the standalone SP1 install package. I'm going to see if the problem is persistent and keep you posted.

    But first I'll make an image of my C: drive system and store it somewhere safe!

    I found the solution through this thread in the TechNet Forums:

    Hi Electrocuteud,

    You have access to a Windows Vista installation disc? If so, follow the steps in this document to perform an InPlace upgrade. This will reinstall Vista without making any changes to the files and programs on the computer. Even if your data and programs must be safe, it is always advisable to make sure that you have a recent backup before major changes on the computer.

    SP3 was released two years ago: how is it that you get only to install it now?

    What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?  Who were these applications that run in the background when you tried to install SP3?

    A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

  • 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

    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.
