• Having problems installing Vista Service Pack 1, says that it is installed but not shown in the installed updates

  Problem of re - install windows service pack 1 KB936330.

  I had to format the hard drive and reload the operating system.  Windows stopped to Service Pack 1.

  I have a Windows Update if it is available for updates.

  When I click on it, updating starts, then gives me the window on the acceptance of the agreement, then a window that could take up to an hour and will restart so save the job.  When I click the grateful this last window, the update screen comes back and says that it has been installed.

  But I can not find the Service Pack 1 or KB936330 on the list of updates installed on Control Panel / programs and features / installed updates window.

  Help.  I can't update to IE 7 because the Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2 are not installed on my system.

  Thank you

• Windows Vista Service Pack 2 causes the message "Windows install will not be accessible".

  I am running Windows Vista with all the updates installed but Service Pack 2. I uninstalled Service Pack 2 because it was causing problems with the windows installation service. I was unable to install microsoft office update because the windows installer could not be accessed, and Adobe Acrobat Reader could not be repaired or updated for the same reason.

  With installed Service Pack 2, I traveled all troubleshooting for the windows service install. I have a click with the right button on my computer, manage, service and open the properties of windows install. I have activated the service, but still couldn't install the updates Microsoft office or Adobe Acrobat Reader update/repair. I also tried to configure windows install automatic rather than manual when the computer starts.

  I had the problem "Windows install is not be available" for nearly a year. After trying to do a repair Vista boot without result, I uninstalled all updates. The problem disappeared. I decided to install the updates one by one. After you have installed Service Pack 2, the problem with windows install returned. The Service Pack installs completely and then open my computer properties indicates that Vista runs with Service Pack 2 installed.

  Uninstall Service Pack 2 and blocking automatic updates will not install it was my only solution to the issue of "Windows install is not be accessible". I fear that it may cause a security flaw in my computer, however.

  If someone has encountered this problem, and if so, is there a solution to install Service Pack 2 for my windows service install still works correctly?

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are known to not uninstall (or upgraded) themselves. Composition of such problems, Geek Squad is also infamous for having failed to download/run the Norton removal tool before installing another AV app or security suite! The 'leftovers' Norton may have caused your post-SP2 installation problem.

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  4. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run it in DEFAULT and modes difficulty then AGGRESSIVE. [1]

  5. restart & test (i.e. display SP2 & install it again). [2]

  TIP: Temporarily disable Sunbelt Vipre Antivirus before installing SP2. If you still encounter problems after installing SP2 again, open a free support by my previous response incident.

  Hi miss.purity,

  Welcome to Microsoft answers community forum!
   
  All facilities have their own advantages and disadvantages. We at Microsoft is constantly working to improve, acceleration and provide better services to our users use microsoft products and therefore release of service packs. Service packs are released to solve the problems of the operating system such as the provision of software to hardware compatibility with other products launched on the market (not necessarily Microsoft products), Microsoft publishes fixes for minor problems experienced by users of Microsoft operating system and constantly keep abreast with the latest technology. So I recommend you keep your operating system up to date to benefit from the advantages mentioned above and for the proper functioning of the operating system.
   
  It can cause minor problems during the installation of updates (honestly what OS doesn't?). But its better to deal with minor problems (which can be fixed) after the installation of updates, as the face of the problems otherwise.
   
  So I got advice go you and install the updates sent by Microsoft as it also fixes bugs you mentioned.
   
  If in case you encounter problems installing service pack 2, you can do the following:
   
  Clean boot:

• Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (KB948465) not __will not install - constant judgment of Internet Explorer

  I couldn't after several attempts to install Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (KB948465).  I finished all of the instructions that will appear on the screen to fix this problem and nothing works.  I'm not a PC geek and want just to get this update loaded.  I hope that this will solve the constant stop my IE WHENEVER I use it.  I'm at a point where I want to just remove Vista and go back to XP.  I NEVER had a problem with it.

  Please contact something that can do a non-techie.  I look at all these forums, but I don't really know how to do all this.  So, unless there are instructions step by step, I'm a lost soul.

• How can I know for sure if I have Service Pack 3 for Windows XP is installed on my PC? I get conflicting info... Please help!

  I had some trouble with my desktop to the end. in any case, I went to check what programs are installed by going to the "Add/Remove Programs" option of the control panel.

  When I chose this option and scrolled down to Windows XP - Service Pack 3 - there is no information next to him and he said ' for support please go...» "(and it me linked to the Windows XP SP3 download center;) HOWEVER - when I check the properties of my computer by going to the menu 'Start', then go to 'My Computer', do a right click on it and looking at its properties - THEN it says "Windows XP Professional - Service Pack 3".
  So low line - I'm totally lost - how do I know if I really have SP3 for XP installed or not? and is there a danger for the download and the installation of SP3 for XP again? (or he stops the installation process and detect if I installed it already?)
  SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

  Unless something happened during the installation, you should have SP3, if it shows it in the start menu, right-click on computer, properties, or that the other person said, start/run and type winver.  You can try to reinstall, and it won't hurt anything it either, although he can come and tell you already have installed and do not reach.
