• Vista Service Pack 1 is NOT installed

  So, I wanted to upgrade to Windows 7. Unfortunately my installer for 7 told me that I had to first install Service Pack 1. Large. I know I don't have because it does not appear on my list of Windows Edition. I try to get it from Windows Update, but when I search for updates, it shoots only other stuff (e.g. Office Genuine Advantage Notification KB949810), but the service pack does. I checked my update history and apparently this Service Pack 1 could not install and I received the error code 80080008.

  So I download the thing directly from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=139503, and when it finished downloading it disappears. Then I saved it on my desktop and when I click on it nothing happens. Can someone help me?

  Yes, it's a possibility. These updates of .NET Framework are among a myriad of SP1 updates, like, for example, KB955430 & KB947821.

  But I'm more concerned about one or two other things:

  1. the error 80080008 is very rarely seen and suggests that an infection in progress hijackware is at the origin of the problem.

  2 Vista SP1 is available through Windows Update (for most users) since March 18, 2008 (SP2 since March 2009). It is very unusual that SP1 has not yet install on your computer again.

  How long Avast4 has been installed? What antivirus application was installed before you installed Avast and your subscription always news when you have uninstalled it in preparation for the installation of Avast?

  A Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on this machine (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

  The foregoing, your best bet at this point may be to back up your personal data, format the HARD drive and do a clean install of Vista to get it then patched up to SP1 before you perform the upgrade to Win7.

  I doubted much that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) would solve the problem. Speaking of which, have you ever done a repair for some reason installation any?

  PS: Free support for installation of SP1 problems has been available since March 18, 2008 through June 30, 2009. This support would cost you $59 USD per incident (or more) now.

• Vista Service Pack 2 will not install on my Vista.

  Since the Service Pack was released I tried to install it. And each time, repeatedly, he'll prepare my computer, tell me to restart, it will do the "install Windows Vista Service Pack 2 1/3 0% Complete" thing when I restart and right at the end where it says "3/3 100% complete" it will stop for about a minute, then say "Service Pack was not installed. Returning change"and it'll take about half an hour at a time to undo everything he does simply, without any reason. I don't know what is happening, and it's the most frustrating thing because it won't go away, and I do not understand how to fix it. Could someone help me with what to do please?

• Windows vista service pack 2 (KB948465) cannot install

  OK my computer went more slowly in a couple of weeks to the point where it would crash a lot. So what I did to restore the computer to do it how I bought it. I guess I did the settings are correct and it became much faster, but I realized, he became also double as slow as before.

  so I tried to install all updates but they keep on do not install. so now im trying to install the windows vista service pack 2 but when im trying to install the stand alone I download it says I have to install windows vista SP1.

  I cheked the computer system and he said he already has SP1.

  but I keep trying to install SP2 and it keeps showing that I have to install SP1. so I downloaded the SP1 and tried to install it but says that its already installed.

  My next step was to remove the update of the system and so I did. then I restart the computer but he repeated that SP1 is installed, then I tried SP2 and continues to show that SP1 is missing.

  If it's like a game of back and now I don't know what can do to fix my computer. Its really very slow. I can't watch my movies or just use the internet cuz I have to wait that the computer crashes, I can't even open two windows or it will crash.

  so first of all, I want to install SP2 and see if anything changes.

  help please, I don't really no what to do, and as you can see I don't know much on a computer, but I guess enough just to follow the directions to fix. Thank you.

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > he'll tell you he that SP is installed.

• Vista Service Pack 1 - Windows cannot install updates.

  My fathers computer is running Vista Service Pack 1 on Windows Vista Edition family.

  He was unable to update for some time now, because of the Service Pack, it uses at present.  Any attempt to update returns the message "Windows cannot check updates".

  I tried to solve this problem by running the tool upgrade of the system, then the standalone installer.  The Setup program for the next service pack returns the fatal error 8000ffff.  Any ideas?  Previously, I've read that antivirus could cause a problem.  I tried the installation of the service pack with the antivirus software completely removed again without success.

  I just located this - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error-8000FFFF - I should try that first?

  Thank you for all your help.  None of the updates were drivers and nothing happened to interrupt the installation, so I'm stuck for what could have gone wrong.

  In any case, it seemed the logical thing tore it and start over.  I managed to get my hands on Hirens Boot CD and using the facitily MiniXP on which I recorded files that desperately, they would not lose on a newly bought external drive.  Then I did a reinstall of Visa that is now fully updated to Service Pack 2.  I tried to tempt them in the purchase of Windows 7, but that's another story.

  Needless to say that they are now set up to allow regular backups and system restore is running very well!

  Thanks again for your help.
