• Failed to install Vista Service Pack 2 (32-bit): do not normally reboot system...

  When update SP2 introduced a few days ago, I tried to install it next to other updates. He installed the files, asked me to restart to make the facilities to be effective, and again started installation of the service pack in 3 steps (of course he has shown not to turn off the ot system to disconnect it). When he began to install while closing, the first step has been successful at 100%, and when it was 98% done in step 2 THE SYSTEM of COMPLETTELY STOP ALL of a SUDDEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. When I rebooted the system, it recommended to launch startup repair and asked me if I want to restore the system and when I accepted, it AUTOMATICALLY restored to a previous point and windows started normally (before you start to install SP2, it has shown to do a restore point)...

  Now, when I checked in the history of the update, all other updates of internet explorer, windows etc defender have been installed except SP2. What is more worrying is that my laptop is not STARTING NORMALLY since then. Always asking me 'Launch system repair' at the beginning - to go to system restore... and then only from the windows... even if just RESTART instead shutdown and startup, the same thing happens... So, I started to keep mode "sleep" when not in use (I was doing important work in small sessions and did not dare to stop)

  I tried to install SP2 twice since then and each time the SAME THING REPEATED.

  Now when I rebooted my system that's repeatedly went to 'Launch Startup Repair' but not to the point where he asks me if I want to RESTORE... instead, it's just SHUTTING DOWN...

  I am running Vista Home premium on my laptop HP Pavilion DV2000 series with processor 2.1 GHz intel core 2 duo, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB HD, NVIDIA graphics 512 MB, lightscribe DVD burner...

  No idea what can do now? Any suggestions would be much appreciated...

• Vista Service Pack 2 will not ' cold' start

  I have a Dell Studio 1737 I bought last week. Windows Vista Service Pack 2 update offered. I selected it and ran through the upgrade. He completed all 3 steps and rebooted. Seems to work very well. I turned off the laptop and went to bed.

  This morning, the laptop complete the power on self test and went to boot Vista. Nothing for 20 minutes then a warning to the blue screen. He himself deleted before that I could read what caused the BSOD and then tried a reboot. Black screen for 20 minutes with no hard disk activity. Manually, I forced a stop down and loaded the boot menu. Choose the Startup Repair. After 30 minutes, advised by the screen to try a restore to an earlier version running. It took another hour, but it worked.

  Update Windows SP2 offered again. Thinking that it may have been an installation failed, tried again. Downloaded and installed SP2, these three steps successfully completed. Yet once computer rebooted (hot start) and did fine. Shut down the system and restarted (cold boot). Same results! MESSAGE completed and handed over to Vista SP2 and then black screen. Took me another 90 minutes, but I restored it to Vista SP1, now it works well.

  So I can run Vista Home Premium 64 bit SP1 without problem but SP2 does not work?

  Update looking for a 64-bit SP2 or just blindly offer software?

  I think that Microsoft is using me as a Guinea pig.

  I'm supposed to receive a DVD of Windows 7 from Dell, in an upgrade. I am wary to install it now since SP2 does not work yet. I was so angry, I jumped out early without digging further, but now I think I might very well be better to stay with SP1 and jump more "updates" unless someone can tell me what is happening here.

  How SP1 can be compatible, but SP2 is not?

  And if all you can afford is a response of canned paste, boiler, don't waste your time. All it will do is make me madder.

  Apparently, offered to customers by Windows Update SP2 update is NOT a complete or is not 64-bit capable.
  

  UH - huh...

  1. What is the full name of your application or the installed antivirus security suite and when (date about) because your current subscription expires?  What (other than Defender) anti-spyware applications are installed?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

  1B. were ALL of those applications that run in the background when you initially tried install SP2?

  2. do you have a free trial Norton, or a test of free McAfee [a] come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? (No matter if you have never used or activated).

  Hi Joy,.

  Let us work together to solve this problem.

  During the installation of Windows Vista SP1, this problem occurs when a third-party application holds open a file or locks a file that the Service Pack installer should use. For example, an application third-party antivirus or antispyware may cause this problem. I suggest you temporarily uninstall any antivirus software and check if you are able to install the service pack. Please do not forget to reactivate once the process is complete.

  Method 1: Alternatively, you can reset Windows Update components.

  Hello

  Error code 80070490 claims a repair upgrade install, not an uninstall and clean reinstall.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80070490

  If you receive the Windows Update 80070490 error, it means that a file (CBS Manifest) that is needed to install updates is corrupt. To correct this problem, you will need repair Windows. Repair Windows will not damage your personal files or the programs that are installed on your computer.

  Have you tried the other option for system update readiness tool in the link I just gave you?

  The System Update Readiness Tool for Windows can correct some conditions that cause Windows Update 80070490 error. You can access and run this tool by reading this Knowledge Base article on the Microsoft Web site.

  And you need a DVD of Vista from Microsoft to do a repair installation upgrade according to the instructions, NOT the normal manufacturer's recovery disks.

  You will need to borrow a Microsoft Vista DVD from a friend or working knowledge.

  Here's how a repair upgrade installation:

  "How to perform a repair for Vista Installation"

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And if you can't get a loan from a Vista DVD from Microsoft, you may need to do a reinstall of Vista:

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
