TRIED TO INSTALL VISTA SP1 NOW I'M DEAD IN THE WATER

I am running Vista Home Premium 32-bit on a Dell desktop computer. A month ago, I came across a few major problems with my computer.  I couldn't get out of safe mode, programs are not run properly, blah, blah.  With a lot of help, I finally could get all back to what I thought was normal.  I ran antispyware, antimalware & and with other tweeks & fixed I have not noticed problems for about a week.

So last night while on the computer, I got the message that Windows is ready to install an important update.  It was SP1.  I usually wait until the middle of the night & let Windows automatically install the updates but I thought why wait, then I started the installation.  He said that it could take several hours, I went to bed and I forgot about it.

This morning I wake up to see that the monitor is all black except for a single line of printing:
!! 0xc01a001d! 37354/98242 (\Registry\Machine\components\derivedata...)

This printing line flickered sort of as he wants, but he was stuck.  I failed to continue or stop so I finally did what was once called an illegal arrest... I don't know if there is a new term for this, but I think you know what I mean.  When I turned my computer back on, I got the message that something caused my computer do not close properly, perhaps a new program or software, and he suggested that I have let Windows find & try to fix the problems.  I clicked on that and the blue bar began to run through the progress window.  He says that it can take several minutes.  Well 2 hours later nothing had changed.  He was always doing exactly the same thing.  He wouldn't let me cancel so I let it run half an hour.  Then I finally made another "illegal stop."  When I turned the computer back on I chose normal startup to the top even if the computer suggested I have start the repair program.

Now I know whence the line of print that I mentioned before.  The screen was black except that it begins to show all the things that are installed on the computer.  At least, I guess that's what it is.  It was like when your computer is running antispyware or something & all files are being checked.  In any case, it's exactly the same thing that what I pointed out, it was on my computer first thing this morning except that it stopped at 28599/98242.  He has not moved or changed except it flashes as he wants to spend but cannot.

What is the cause & do - what do I do about it?  Trying to do a system repair did not work & I can't get the computer starts normally then now what?  SP1 is installed on our laptop with no problems.  The only difference is that I let it install automatically.

Please help before I have eventually throw the top of desk by the window!

Sandee,

David advice was correct.

Read all the info on the link below.

You need to download the ISO file, I talked to the computer on which you post here, not the broken one!

It is a repair disc you need to do from this ISO file:

As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

If yours falls into the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

It's a very good Vista repair disc.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
There is not a disk of resettlement.

And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • Help me... Does not install, won't clean up.  Dead in the water

    Only works with google chrome and not a pdf file preview in windows Explorer.  Chorme has been uninstalled in anticipation of this problem being cleaned.  There are remnants in locallow and roaming but no exe.  What is the manual method of cleaning it so I can install again?

    Incorrect answer.  It turns out that Acrobat Reader XI was the

    problem.  This has probably stuck when an attempt is made to install

    Acrobat Reader DC, who has been having problems with windows

    Preview pane of the Explorer.  This deletion process is different.  I found that

    you need to scroll to locate the removal of Acrobat Reader XI

    tool.  Users who have problems with the installation should run two removal tools

    due to problems that might occur when users try to install

    Acrobat Reader DC.

    I had the system cleaned and installed Acrobat Reader XI and

    everything now works again.  DC is for cloud computing which was

    the origin of evil.  System performance has gotten a lot better

    After got rid of him.

  • Install Vista SP1/upgraded to Windows 7

    I tried to update this Dell XPS 410 (2 GB) for Win 7 for three days now without success.

    When I started, I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, who said that I had to install Service Pack 1.  I tried, but couldn't.  Just to be sure I wasn't facing some old screw ups, I did a clean install of Vista Home Premium (which came with the computer) and installed all the Windows Update says updates are available without errors.  I think it was around 104.  Curiously, that does not include SP1.

    Then I downloaded and tried to install SP1.  I get this error when I do: "an internal error occurred during the installation of the service pack. Error code: 0x007000D.  See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=101139. "

    I went to this webpage (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947366#readiness) and have gone through the steps.

    1. He recommended to download the stand-alone package for the update and trying to install that.  I did this and got the above error.
    2. It is recommended that download and run the system update readiness tool.  I did that (it took more than two hours!), restarted the computer and tried again to install SP1.  I got the same error.
    3. She recommended to close all applications and try to install SP1 - I had nothing else running while this was accomplished in step 2.
    4. At this point, he said "If your problem is still not resolved, you can try the steps of troubleshooting on your own, or you can contact Microsoft technical support.".  I don't know how to contact Microsoft technical support, so I'm here.

    I am only running Microsoft Security Essentials; I guess that would not get in the way, but I've disabled real-time protection and tried to install - same error.

    I'm about at the end of the things that I know to try.  How can I get Windows 7 installed?  I have three computers (almost) identical and installed Win 7 on the first without any difficulty.  Took about two hours.

    Can anyone help?  I need all three of them on Win 7 as soon as possible.    It's frustrating to have so much wrong.

    The machine looks good all other ways.  He has installed Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and some third-party software, HP printer, and an another USB device.  I did a chkdsk - weather.  I have installed Dell Support Center: it checks the material and the machine passes all the tests.

    Assistance would be appreciated.  A way to circumvent the requirement of SP1 and install Win 7 anyway?

    I [was] trying to install SP1 manually, because it has not offered by Windows Update...

    There are all sorts of reasons that Vista SP1 was not offered through Windows Update so far. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948343.

  • I tried to install vista service pack 1 error code 8007036be

    I tried to install vista service pack 1.  After so many times, I made a fix it.  Now, I'm getting an error message 8007006BE.  Can anyone help?

    0X800706BE RPC_S_CALL_FAILED =
    The remote procedure call failed.

    Which means in a way, that communicate with the update server cannot be established.

    This could be caused by a third-party product running on your computer like anti virus etc.

    You can try a clean boot of your computer and installing the update or in the alternative, download the full update and install it.

  • I had problems to install Vista SP1 on different computers 2 Scared of Vista SP1.

    I had problems installing Vista SP1 on 2 different computers and have had to reinstall OS and at the same time, after the reinstallation of Vista, Windows update has updated all the updates up to SP1 and I'm afraid to click on it.  I just finished rebuilding my laptop and all important updates and stopped at SP1.  I ran the System Readiness tool update on my desktop and am really GUN-SHY click on SP1.  Is there something else I can look for or take into account before clicking GO?  I was really upset when the laptop was working fine without it and against my instinct clicked on install when Windows update finally offered it.  I was surprised, that he had not come forward.  I have HP Pavilion, AVG and it is on both machines.   On the desktop I had updated SP1 when it first came out, and something zapped my video card and had to install a video card to see what was going on.  Finally I had to buy another HP motherboard.  It was not cheap.  I'm really scared to click on install. And I would like to put into practice what I preach to end-users, but experience twice shot dark me and path of restoration.  Thank you.

    I'm back - I'M MY technician.  I support experience dating back to the beginning of the 1990s.  I tried your advice and humiliated.  What I have to lose - I said. If this does not work, I'll reformat and start over.   here goes.

    I reformatted, reinstalled OEM in new condition.  Bypassed the Code Purple HP tattoos on their generation, where we replaced the MB that I had.
    Uninstalled Norton, installed the Norton remover.
    Installed MS Security essentials.   Yet once, I said why not.  try it.
    Installed all the updates that Microsoft had to offer.   Have to him. I said.
    It took almost two days.
    System has all updates included SP1 and SP and anything withdrew automatic update of Ms.
    Ok.
    browser, flash, drivers, software for personal use
    System is being run-
    Scanned primary and any secondary t.o.d. after reconnecting them - disconnected for the reformat.

    There are other questions which seem to me with ISP but I meet with them, or open a new question.  For now, Vista SP1 and 2 are in.

    Oh and if anyone has a HP, which gets a code purple error after entering the process of restoration - Shift and F10 while the purple error code is on the screen and rename files from HP in the form of command prompt to convey this purple code and continue with the installation.  I had to find this info on the site of HP after the first reformat.

    and another thing.  I had to take my firewall router a notch to allow download of the Norton removal tool.  Why they still use FTP for one simple download is beyond me.  -

    Nice day

  • Has managed to recover from the infinite loop restart Vista SP1 "configuration updates stage 3 of 3 0%"- but Windows Update always wants me to install Vista SP1!

    WIndows Update asks me to install Vista SP1. I did and got into the infamous infinite loop of SP1 (infinite loop ' configuration updates stage 3 of 3 0% "with Vista SP1). I used F8 to repair my computer, and I chose a restore before the SP1 update point has been installed. The restore point has been applied successfully, so I have the computer in the back. Super. However, Windows Update wants me reinstall Vista SP1. Needless to say, I am reluctant to do so. But I want to be aware of the Windows updates. What do I do? TIA
