• Windows Vista Service Pack 1 help

  So I went to install CS4 Design on my vista Home premium 32 bit computer (Dell Inspiron E1505) and he says I need service pack 1 vista to make it work, so I downloaded the service pack and he came to say it installed properly and everything. Well I tried to run CS4 and I still have the error message so I checked my computer properties to see if the student has been installed and it is not listed. No matter how many times I download and it happens that it has been installed, it does not show as being installed on my computer. It is even listed on my windows update installed programs. I tried to uninstall it and then reinstall it but I still get the error message that was not able to uninstall certain updates and it's still there. Help would be very appreciated.

  Hi dorkysokerchick,

  Thanks for posting your question on the Forums for answers.

  I suggest using the utility Install Cleanup to make sure that you stuck with a partial installation.
  Here's how:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301

  You can also try to run the System File Checker to make sure there are no missing or corrupt files preventing the correct update. Here's an article on it:

• Windows XP Service Pack 3 help

  Hello

  I know I'm late with the thing of the installation, but I tried to install the Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 two days ago and my computer has been running a muck. Installation is complete and asked to restart, I restarted my computer and it take me to the Windows XP start screen, flash a blue error message and continue in an infinite loop.

  Now, my computer won't let me log into my account. Instead, I logged into safe mood and tried to uninstall the service pack. However, when I try to uninstall, a message tells me that the file is not found.

  I also tried to use the system restore process, but when it gives me the calendar what day choose, it allows me to choose that day I'm in and the "installed Windows XP Service Pack 3" isn't even an option in the Restore Point.

  Also, I tried to reinstall the service pack, but it's just not a good... (and Yes, there is enough free space on the drive in my computer)

  I really don't want to restore my computer to factory settings, any comments will help!

  Additional information: my computer is a 32-bit, the compaq computer that has about 7 years.

  Technical information: STOP: 0x0000007E (0xc0000005, 0xF7896756, 0xF7A91430, 0xF7A9112C)

  My C: Drive: = 69.2 GB, free space = 1.77 GB disk space

  Hello and welcome on Microsoft Answers.

  I'm sorry to hear that you have problems even after updated to sp3. You did a great job giving details about your system and the errors you encounter.

  First of all, the Stop error message 0x07E is usually associated with a corrupt driver. It is also likely in your case since you're able to boot in safe mode. When booting in SafeMode only the basic components are loaded.

  Restart the computer as if go in safe mode. When the Advanced menu choose "Disable automatic reboot in case of system failure". Now reboot the computer as if to start in normal mode. You will probably get a BSOD (blue screen with the error code). I would like for you to watch and see if the name of the corrupted file is listed under the stop code. It would be something .sys

  Example only > 92 D 89498 address WUSB54GCx86.sys base at 92D7c000, Datestamp 45c04cc9 (Note: you will only have to list the name of the file and not all the codes or datestamp)

  If, in your case it isn't we will need to locate the specific problem using the good old fashioned of elimination process. To do this I need your to perform a clean boot following the instructions HERE. To the best of my knowledge, you will be able to use interactive help safe mode with network. If this is not the case, simply follow the instructions in the manual.

  Another way to look at this question is to get information of the event viewer on the failure that occurred.  To review event viewer / click on the ORB Start / computer right click / Select manage / select event viewer.

  Find the information in Event Viewer on the failure of the update installation and provide this information on the forum.  As well as if there is an error, you receive what it is and ID # is.
