  during the windows vista pack 2 update my antivirus will become obsolete?

  Hi victor,

  It would be useful to know the name and the version of the antivirus program that you use. However, in general (and frankly I can't think an exception) upgrade Vista SP1 to SP2 will not make your out-of-date antivirus.  In fact, it will improve the overall security of your system.  But just to be on the good side, I suggest that you update your AV software once you have completed the upgrade to SP2 and installed all the additional Windows updates which will become available once you do this (and you may need to run a few times to get everything as some may be presented until others have been installed).

  If you want suggestions of security software, please post your version of Vista (e.g., 32-bit Vista Business) as well as the names and versions of any software security you are currently using or have used or had installed even if you've never used (and when the definitions for the software in use have been updated).  These suggestions will be excellent and work well together (even if you can not install two AV programs at the same time, these are not all the AV programs but still aid in the detection and removal of malware, viruses and spyware.  And they are all completely FREE - nothing we suggest will not cost you even a penny and that they will be as good if not better that people pay money to get the bits.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• 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.

  A little/sorta...

• Vista Service Pack 1 update fails - computer will not start and cannot be repaired

  The computer which is an Acer desktop computer, running Windows Vista Premium.  In the last 6 months updated Vista tried Service Pack 1 update to install Vista about 8 times and failed every time a reason any.  Just before this latest incident, a facility was "cancelled" in the Middle for some reason any.  I restarted the computer and almost immediately was advised that there is an update, which turned out be SP-1.

  I started the update, and some time later I received a message that the update was successful, and that he had to be restarted the computer.  I clicked on the button restart and the Installation continues during the shutdown.

  When the computer tried to restart initialization failed and I ended up after several lines of information that looked as if it might be checking drivers and then information began to look as if she might be reading the register lines.  Each line has 2 numbers separated by a slash (/), who scored on a single line at the top of the screen, (white letters on black background) after a certain time the count to stop with the line of text of flickering on the same entry.

  It is the line that goes to the screen when the information keeps changing.

  !! 0xc01a001d!  37636/92292 (\Registry\Machine\components\winners\x86...)

  Since the failure of the Windows Vista SP1 update, when the system begins to start, after a short while, he starts playing what seems like lines in the registry, and after a few moments he always stops with the same accurate information just flicker.  At this point, it seems that this scenario will continue forever.  The hard drive is accessible, as if trying to read something, over and above.  The hard drive light flashes, instead of being on regularly, but only for a while.  After that, even the flickering stops.

  I have tried to start mode without failure, then after loading some files and after some time (5 or 10 seconds) the displayed files always end with the same file at the bottom of the list and what seems to be a status extend the message please know...  Shortly after the screen is empty, the fails to start and the computer is restarted.

  Usually what will happen is that the computer will begin to start up again, but because the previous boot failed, it asks if you want to go to startup repair, which, at first, seems to work fine, but after a little time it brings up a dialog box asking if you want to restore to the previous good Restore Point.  The display will then return to the same routine he had previously, and she runs to always if not interrupted.

  If you click the Cancel button, a message appears indicating that you cannot interrupt the current process, so the only way that you can try something else is to Shut Off the Power in now the switch down, permanently.

  [Note: the notes above have not all accurate messages, Word for Word, exceot for the Hex error line.]

• Windows Vista 64 not updated since September 2009! Error. 80070424

  Recently, the research on different forums on the web that this one to try to solve the problem. Can't say I've found a lot of useful information. I tried a number of things like turn off some windows services, a windows program fixit and something to do with the BITS or something and nothing seems to work. I even tried to find the files needed to install manually and no chance and whenever I think I find a link on this maze of a Web site that looks like it could hold the key need you for this page which shows you just a picture of the start menu and the cursor during the update of windows. Not frickin useful! Just see a link to the left of the screen here leading to a thread with someone who has a similar problem and the adviser said he had to see the last 50 lines of the windowsupdate log to know what he is treated so here is mine.

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista#section_3

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

  NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs, or updates IE and before installing your new anti-virus application.

  If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.

• Vista: All Windows updates suspended / "Module of Windows Installer has stopped working and Will Close."

  On my installation of Vista, all windows updates no longer work.  If I try and run them from Windows Update in Control Panel one starts to run but then it just hangs.  At the same time, I get a message "Windows install Module has stopped working and closes".  If you look in the services, it is crushed, but restarts.  The update remains always hung.  It doesn't matter what update I try and run, I always get the same result.

  When the computer is shut down, it also tries to automatically install updates.  These also hang on the first, which means that I have to force power off the computer.

  Don't know if this is related, but I don't think that SP2 already installed - it kept if crush (don't remember what was the error message).  When I restart in safe mode it tells me that I'm still on SP1.  I followed all the suggestions on how to get SP2 installed for the error I received, but nothing has worked.

  Do not really understand what I have really installed a lot of "_" on the PC, it is a "clean" installation (about 1 year now).

  Any ideas?  Really, I don't want to have to do a re-install, but I suspect that is where I'm heading unfortunately.

  Hi AndrewInNZ,

  Thanks for visiting the site of the community of Microsoft Windows!
   
  I would like to ask you some questions for a better understanding of the issue:
   
  (a) did you try to temporarily disable the security software and check if updates are smooth?
   
  (b) you are using a firewall in addition in instead of the windows firewall? If so disable (temporarily) of the third party firewall and look for updates.
  It is usually caused by a 3rd party firewall that it blocks the internal ports.
   
  Check out WERCON for more information-
   
  1) Click START | wercon.exe type in the search box start and click on enter.
   
  (2) select "View problem history", under 'Windows identified problems' with the right button on a problem, and then select "view problem details. Click "Copy to Clipboard" export to text document
   
  Also reset the Firewall setting:
   
  1) Click START | type FirewallSettings.exe into the start search box | Click on FirewallSettings.exe above | Select the Advanced Settings tab. Click 'Restore Defaults ' | Click on apply (if Hi-lighted) | Click OK

  Check the status of the service as well:

  Log in as administrator-

  Start button | Control Panel | System and Maintenance | Administration tools

  Double-click on Services

  (Provide the administrator password or a confirmation if prompted to do so.)

  Right click on the 'Windows Modules Installer' service, and then select Properties.

  Select the general tab - make sure that the startup type is manual

• Windows XP Professional starts in safe mode after the service pack 2 update

  I have an older version of Windows XP version 1.0 on a computer in November 2001 of the gateway that I have updated all offers updates of material such as BIOS and motherboard.  Then to the service pack 2 update so I can load an antivirus software which does not load unless you have SP2 or later version.  It loads like a champ and restarts, but Windows does not start normally, I have to start in safe mode and remove SP2.  Is there a driver error that I need to find?  Or is there an other update I need before SP2 for such an old version of windows? (He also did the same thing with SP3).  Help!  I tried to reload Windows with the repair feature, but was lost when he gave me a prompt C:\.

• Installed Vista pack 1 as prompted. Tour is continuing after 10 hours. Monitor says no entries, and falls asleep.

  original title: installed Vista pack 1 as prompted.  Tour is continuing after 10 hours.  Monitor says no entries, and falls asleep.  What should I do?

  My desktop computer has said that there was a problem with the window.  He said that Vista pack 1 expired July 12.  I installed it when prompted by August 6.  He began to run at 18:30 and HP Tower ran all night with a blue and orange light flashing.  The monitor was gone to sleep.  When I turned on the screen this morning, he said that he had no entry and time to sleep.  What should I do next?    I just got internet on 28 June, so don't know what that what is happening.  I get updates automatically.  Why it that not update.  I use another computer to communicate with you because I don't know what to do next.

  Spent by the factory with the OS. After 18 + OVERLAYS on my XP Pro PC I've exchanged on this VISTA Premium 32 bit and after 15 + OVERLAYS on this one, IT WORKS finally.

  This experience as Kosh Vorlon said above RESTORATION anyway possible and go directly to Microsoft for Service Pack so I found this to be the best source

  It's the 32-bit version

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=30

  This is the 64-bit version

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=21299

  Now it's been GETTING all THE UPDATES... I found that the PC knows what to do with them, and without any help from us that it just boot process follow all prompts.

  When it's done GET SERVICE PACK 2, SP2 from Microsoft

  It's the 32-bit version

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=17669

  It is for the 64-bit version

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=17669

  and it goes the same for this time to GET all UPDATES.

  And a my Service Packs note came in the updates of Windows. As well as all updates from the update updates. HP updates are usually for the hardware and drivers.

  Good luck
