  • Cannot install Service Pack 2 update on my Vista 32 bit computer. (error 0x800f0818)

    original title: cannot install Service Pack 2 update on my Vista 32 bit computer

    Through the windows update install Service Pack 2 and keep getting error 0x800f0818.  Have run fixit and the tool of analysis, but always in error.  Looked this error but can't find anything about it.  How can I fix it?

    I think that what PA bear is coming in the post previous is that service pack will contain Vietnamese Windows updates necessary for their release.

  • Cannot install Service Pack 1 after 4 years, Windows Vista Factory restore

    I have a Dell XPS ONE and used the option to restore to the factory due to several problems. The system is 4 years old and maintain a 4 year old Windows Vista Home Premium system proved to be too much for me to handle.

    When I try to update Windows, I managed about 60 updates, but then I get to the SP 1. He tells me that it is installed, but then I go to the update again and it tells me that I need SP I... I can go through the same indefinitely, SP 1 installation, but he always tells me that I need to install Service Pack 1 even if it was just installed successfully. Aparently, SP 1 is not installed correctly, but it tells me that it is installed. It is not!

    In the meantime, I can ' t reinstall Norton Internet Security. He tells me that I need SP2 for Vista.

    It is good, that you can not install Norton Product.  Stop trying.  No McAfee either.
     
    Avast, AVG, Avira , or UnThreat are choices fine (free option).
    You could spend ~ 60USD during two years of eSET NOD32 AntiVirus (not more - just product AntiVirus) and which would be more worthwhile.

    Regarding SP1 - do this manually.  Windows Vista Edition _, _ - bit? [Fill in the blanks]

    Download and save the SP1 that is appropriate for your architecture of Vista (32-bit or 64-bit) operating system (on your desktop).  Reboot and logon.  Right click on the saved file and choose Run as administrator.  Follow through until it's done and restart with 5 minutes between each restart twice.

    Then download updates post-SP2 via normal means.

  • Cannot install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition or anything else on the internet.

    Hello

    I tried to download and install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition, or anything like that on the internet without success. According to me, the key word is internet or a block of Vista from the internet to install anything. Many people here get the same error 80070005 for SP2 as I am, but I think that the problem is with Vista, how the system allows any installs or blocks installed from the internet. I suppose that some are able to go through the download process, but installation is where it does not pass through. There are moments where it seems that the installation of SP2 works, but it will fail eventually. Other times what ever happens to the installation process. The same goes for all other downloads and installs from the internet. I am able to install a program that already exists on the computer, so I know that installs works just not the Internet. Do not send me a link to install because it probably won't last through. I may be able to download but installation will not pass by so that the program will not work. I used the words installation and internet a lot for some reason please take account, when responding.

    Thank you

    I want to know how I can install the service pack

    Hi jose Luiscastanedab,.

    Thanks for posting that query you in Microsoft Communities. It seems that you are not able to install service pack 2. Provide the following information:

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         You use a third-party security software?

    ·         What is the full error message?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Place the computer in a clean boot State to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 3 from the link to start the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    Method 3: You can also install it manually by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.
