Vista Service Pack 2 update problems

I keep trying to update Vista SP2 but I get access denied popup. I go my computer and give my account and system full control to the folder of Windows but am unable to give me total control over the program files and other folders in my HARD drive. Help?

Hi Jlowsy,
You should try the directions of Chris'. He referred to the system-level account. This is a level higher than that of that connect. You have a level admin login, not the entire system. Matt

  • 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.]

  • Problems starting Vista Service pack 1 update - buckle boot - now

    Hello

    Vista Home Premium (SP0) ran on our home computer. Due to the loss of IE7 support on some sites, that we needed to update IE and then install Service Pack 1 (SP1). After 3 hours of nail-biting install the computer hooked to black screen. Reboot and reset revealed a restart loop. (SP1 was choice of Native Windows updater)

    This was the beginning of a strange troubleshooting. I consider myself a PC tech, but I discovered that this is not the case.

    • I started popping up in the Vista repair disk supplied with the PC, hoping to get the repair of the system than Vista point created before installing SP1. I got a blue screen after you start the DVD. STOP: 0x0000C1F5.
    • I jumped into a recovery CD UBCD4Win CD, I created a while ago with XP preinstalled runtime environment. Started good CD and read up on some forums. They asked to remove Pending.xml and another file which I can't put my finger on ATM there is no improvement to reboot loop or BSOD STOP.
      http://www.Google.com/search?q=remove+pending.XML+Vista+SP1+reboot+loop
    • I read on some forum more. I created a SystemRescueCD with a preinstalled environment location of linux. I deleted the file $Txflog. Following the instructions I can't boot the PC more: pre-launch control ok, black screen startup Windows system manager ntoskrnl.exe 0xC0000098.
      I have had no problems to start the Vista recovery DVDs. As stated in the guide that I tried to reset the system restore point created Vista before installing SP1. I get an error at the end of the restoration of the system: system recovery failed due to an unknown error 0 x 80070570.
      http://www.Google.com/search?q= \$Txflog+vista+remove+systemrescueCD
    • After a few Snort of the forum more than that I was instructed to copy system files in folder windows\system32 and drivers. However, I could not find the hal.dll file as instructed but copied the remaining files without a hitch. This has not changed the situation.
      (Stange done here, the cmd and the windows recovery environment guest is in Italian, despite the version of windows being a Dutch version. I chose the Dutch at first. is there a way I can change the language in Dutch?)
      http://www.Google.com/search?q=Ntoskrnl.exe+0xc0000098+HAL.dll+copy

    So I'm here. All possible solutions are welcome. Please ensure that they are based. I'll try to uninstall SP1 tomorrow through the Windows recovery environment guest. I do accept solutions involving a complete reinstallation of Vista. I have a Windows 7 DVD, but none touch 2nd. It's another language too (Dutch - 7 English Vista). So installation on a W7 is not a direct option.

    Please let me know something. Thank you guys!

    SP1 is not the issue.  I saw this with a lot of Dell computers at work.
    Unfortunately, the solution is a clean install of Vista with SP1 included in the installation DVD.

    If this is a Dell computer, you can contact Dell to obtain a copy of the appropriate disk Vista with SP1 (SP2) installed.
