  Hi Kelly,

  Maximum machines, the license can be activated is 2. Somehow, it seems that on your side the same license can be activated on any 3rd machine as well.

  Activating the license on any other machine, please select the option to disconnect all other devices and try again.

  Reference: connect and disconnect activate Cloud Creative applications (deactivated)

• Try to install SP1 causes computer crash

  Long story short, SP1 crashed the computer, does a full restore to factory settings.  Tried 3 times, same result.

  Now the SP1 is listed for install again in the updates... I'm leary.  I know I don't have it support it I have not installed SP so what do I do?

  Have updates installed with a date since April 2009, when SP1 is released would interfere with the installation?

  Anyway to figure out what is the issue?

  * original title - if you install Vista SP1 now in 2010, with others having been processed since SP1 updates came out in 2009 affect the install? *

  Other updates should not cause this problem, even if they should all be installed in the order.

  Try to install manually instead of through Windows Update.  Go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b0c7136d-5ebb-413b-89c9-cb3d06d12674&displaylang=en to get the download and see if that makes a difference.

  If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem disappears (if the installation work) then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem (or you can be happy, the installation worked and not find the cause of the trouble and just restore the system to normal and restart - which is probably what I would do).   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

  Also read and execute the steps ofhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.

  If this does not help, please transfer your question in Forum Windows Update:http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads where updates experts will be happy to help you.  Please post with the information requested here:what to post in the Windows Update forum

  I hope this helps.

• Once Windows vista opens, and I try to choose a program from the computer freezes.

  I have A Gateway P-7811FX and every time I restart the laptop it freezes. Everything started after battery ran to 10% and automatically shut down the pc. I tried to restore from 2 days before delivery, but I just get an error message saying: could not complete the restore process. When in SafeMode with networking it still works fine.

  > I tried to restore from 2 days before delivery, but I just get an error message saying: could not complete the restore process
  Go to safe mode, re-do system restore.

  After that, you can connect back to the normal mode? For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

  Why not try a hard reset if you have not already. This, now the "home" button and the power button / stop key at the same time until you see the apple logo. I hope this helps! If no answer.

• I have error code 8024200d when you try to update and install SP1 for Vista

  I have error code 8024200d when you try to update and install SP1 for Vista. I'm currently running Vista Ultimate. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!  Matt

  Matt,

  The 8024200d result code indicates WU_E_UH_NEEDANOTHERDOWNLOAD
  Update Manager did not install the update because it must be downloaded again.
  Suggest you download and Save the complete stand-alone package of Vista SP1.

  Links to the standalone versions are on this page because you validate that the edition of Vista is x 86 (32-bit) or x 64 (64-bit). You can see the architecture of the system of opening in the Panel and next to the search System system type: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1)

  Before attempting to apply the SP1 please consider this information-

  If you choose to install Windows Vista SP1 via the standalone installer available on the Microsoft Download Center, Microsoft recommends that you first check Windows Update and install all drivers in option. Read the Articles in the Knowledge Base 948187 and 948343 for more information.

  Suggest you to create a folder on the root drive (the drive where Windows is installed, usually C:\) and name SP1.
  Move the downloaded Service Pack in the newly created folder.
  Disconnect all the devices, printer, external USB hard drive, etc.

  Then, Configure the system starts in a clean condition
  After you restart the worm as a clean boot, apply SP1.

  If there is still a problem with the installation of SP1, MS offer support chat and free e-mail to "help you to download and install service packs" here-

• Window vista business 32 bit auto update not install SP1

  I have Window vista business 32 bit on Sony Vaio laptop. My automatic update of the window is on, a lot of updates were installed, I can't find the SP1.  I checked the updates, saw "the view update history" but can't find SP1.  Basic information system shows no service pack. 'Winver' shows Version 6.0 (6000 building). All other window updates have been installed except "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express edition service pack 3 (KB955706) who is still unable to install, do not know for what reason." I guess that there is no link between the failed SQL and SP1. It is after a complete reinstall of Vista 3-4 days back.

  Prior to the relocation is in that the original version, Vista SP1 was installed automatically by the Update window.
  I wonder if SP1 is already installed, but is not displayed or should I download and install it manually.

  Thank you. I was able to install SP1 and SP2 after the changes and the process you described.

• Vista do not install SP1 by using Windows Update (do it manually)

  Hello

  Revised.

  If you have a Vista without SP1 and 2, DO NOT listen to Microsoft technicians and use auto update / windows update / microsoft update (until after you have installed SP1 & SP2).

  My recent experience and other posts, it won't work.  Manually download Vista SP1 and SP2 for Vista and install manually (SP1 first).  I lost hours with updates auto that I didn't need and made a mess.

  Vista SP1

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=30

  Vista SP2

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=16468

  You must both SP1 first

  Read below if you want the details.  Thank you

  I just made a custom cleaning of a perfectly fine using a DVD of Vista Utilmate XP machine.

  After installation, he made the automatic updates ~ 106 and is now stuck on Vista SP1.

  Updates keep offering it, downloading, but I can not install.  About 5 or 6 times now.  It will take me to the user agreement, and after that I agree that it is said installation will take some time, but it never loads.  I had once an error message indicating I needed IE 8, but when I downloaded for XP/Vista, I got the error that IE 8 does not work on my system.

  I have just downloaded maually SP1 and SP2 machine, try to install, but MS it not recommended to some BS something and I would give them $189.  I was hoping someone might have an idea on how to get the auto update function to work to see if my manual Visat SP1 and SP2 (extract from the official MS site) may work 1.  MS supports was no other real help that they suggested to purchase Windows 7 at Wal-Mart, but I don't think that the old machine is worth 86 dollars.  They shouldn't tell you online they will be support for vista until 2017, then try to charge you once you've invested time in it.  They can even do it on purpose (not technicians, but the management).

  If you are reading this, thank you for your support.

• Vista updates not defective to install SP1 & SP2

  original title: Vista will be not updated

  I help my neighbor with his laptop Dell 1520 running Vista. She had some problems with IE-7 and I noticed that the laptop has not had a successful Windows at a time update long (do not have SP1 or SP2). I tried several attempts to get the updates to work and finally reloaded the operating system software Windows Vista to factory state - first of the recovery on the HARD drive partition, then a second time since the recovery disks provided by Dell. In both cases, the subsequent updates refused to stick. The first batch of 107 updates downloaded and installed, but then to restart something goes wrong and the system goes into Startup Repair which ends with a system restore. The end result is that many updates end in failure. Never can get past this, even by trying all the updated Microsoft suggested tips (mode boot, security turned off, audit, FixIt, clear temporary files, etc. of disk errors). When I run Windows updates again, I selected 107 updates to be installed again.

  I suspect that I have a HDD laminated, but thought that I would like to ask for help. Any suggestions on next steps?

  I am running Vista Home Premium and it used to install SP 1 not to mention all the others.  The short time the system even gave me a notice a few times that I was not running genuine Windows software even if it is enabled and varified authentic by Microsoft support. I had to install today and it restarts after installing 3 3 parts of the CIP of service. After the restart, he says that the update was not installed and there we reversed to where we started. Ouch, I'm a damsel in distress here!
  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Amber,
  I suggest that you run the following tools and then try to install SP1.

  First to perform a clean boot on your PC.
  Run the disk error checking.
  Run System File Checker.
  Run the System Update tool.
  So if these tools did not report any errors, then install the SP1.

  Post back with the results.
