Vista SP2 - replacement of all updates after SP1?

Similar Questions

• Windows Vista will not install new updates after installing SP2

  Hi, I have a problem with the update of my windows. It started after a fact a factory reset. Here's the history:

  I have a some what old laptop (8 years). It came with a Vista installed with service pack 1 installed at the factory. Over the years, I did a few factory resets (every 2-3 years). I never had problems up to now. What is happening now is that I can not exceed SP2. I tried two different ways, none of them worked. After the reset, I first uninstall a bunch of stupid programs that came with the laptop, and then defragment and then have two ways to proceed. I tried to use windows update, installed more than 100 updates, updates install held until finally I offered service Pack2, installed successfully but then no more updates were offered. Then I tried a different approach - a new reset, uninstall, Defrag, and then downloaded and installed SP2 directly from the Download Center. And again the same thing happens. From the SP2 installation I check updates, download the new update agent and nothing happens after that. He keeps looking for new updates all day (about 50% of the processor by using all the time).

  I read some articles and discussions but could not find anyone with the same problem (most of the users reported some error codes which is something I can't do). I tried the fix tool - it does nothing! Whenever I run it, it is mistakes - sometimes 2, sometimes up to 5. Sometimes, it makes account all fixed, other times that it reports missing or corrupt files do not set. Whatever the results if I restart and when I try to check for updates again it is still the same story.

  Also I tried to install it manually IE9 as soon as SP2 is installed (I understand that this is not supported under SP1) but the installation fails. I expected to be available in updates, but as I don't get updates I tried to install it myself. Not sure if it's related (although I guess it is), but the Defender is not able to verify new definitions either.

  Any suggestions? Maybe the registry is damaged or some of the files using the update agent is are corrupt? There are currently no antivirus program installed that could block whatever it is. I haven't touched Windows Firewall somehow everything must therefore be attributed to the default values.

  You understand is that? I came across exactly the same problem... restoration of an old book to give to a family member, and every time I came to the point of installing SP2 and a more recent windows update agent just after, I couldn't install more updates. It would block 'check updates' forever. Tried twice, same problem. However, I tried some things differently the third time and exceeded the question.

  Let me know if you still need help, and I will respond with what I've done.

  I tried all the suggestions on this forum, as well as what I can find online, without a solution.  I use Panda Security, however, I uninstalled it and the problem remains.   I have tried the repair on the original CD, ran Fixit and a number of other solutions.  I just reformat the drive and start over, but don't have my original CD for MS Office and cannot afford to lose.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  SP2

  As I tried to reset the software update I lost the history of updates are on this machine.  The last update 01/02/2013.  So this should give an idea where is the operating system.

  I ran sfc/scannow as stated in my previous post and found a file, he could not set:

  2013-03-03 11:26:35, 000001fd CSI Info [SR] could not reproject corrupted file [ml:520 {260}, l:46 {23}] '------? \C:\Windows\System32"\[l:22{11}]"Autochk.exe '; source file in the store is also corrupted

  As the job file and the source are corrupt, where can I get a version uncorrupted "autochk.exe" and how do I go about replacing it?

  Under Vista SP2 Professional.

• Upgrade Vista SP2 failure ~ not to revert to SP1

  I tried to install SP2 service pack for Vista automatic updates.  I bought my laptop from a University where I study.  I have no error code of this attempt.  I tried to install, uninstall and just sitting there for hours, which suggests I'm not shooting it while he was reverting back.  After 12 hours, I have not considered the note of MS update and just stopped and hope for the best. She is degraded.  I would like a service pack on a CD or a correct that installs just sent me.

• Cannot install Vista SP2 (or any other update) even after the KB947821 application

  I tried for months getting my wife's cell phone to install SP2 and other updates of security, but they keep failing.  Microsoft's response is to use the analysis tool... but it does not work.

  Unlike some others, the tool reports having installed successfully (KB947821v12) but I then try to install SP2 (or other updates from windows update) and I get an error message.

  The system is a Dell inspiron 1525 Dual core * address email is removed from the privacy * and 3 GB RAM under Vista Home Premium, SP1 (32-bit).  System Norton antivirus installed, licensed and fully updated. I've removed almost any other piece of software besides the pilots, office 2007, and Norton, run a registry cleaning tool, defragmented the drive hard, etc.  Still getting the same error.

  Try to install SP2 (KB948465) starting from the .exe downloaded from microsoft (have tried so many times, I couldn't wait to download each time!), gives me the message "Installtion failed", details show the 0x800f081f error code

  At the moment, it may be too late to solve the inconsistencies that are produce in winsxs. Your other options are-

  Assuming that the Windows Firewall is enabled, see if a reset fixes the behavior:

  1. open IE 32-bit (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run it in DEFAULT and modes difficulty then AGGRESSIVE. [1]

  2. restart & test.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  [1] full Disclosure: the difficulty operating in AGGRESSIVE mode will remove your update history but not the list of installed updates.

• Windows Vista SP2 - Standalone vs Windows Update

  Here's a quick question I hope is easy to answer:

  I still have to install Service Pack 2 on my Vista machine for various reasons that are not related. Anyway, now I can't, so my question is whether it is better to install from Windows Update tool or use the standalone package.

  I already downloaded it as a standalone package in an emergency, but I remember in the past some operating systems (XP, I think and Windows 95) usually installed a better set of updates when you download as a standalone rather than Windows Update.

  What are the views of the professionals?

  In general, I would recommend Windows Update.  This isn't to the dark days of the prerequisites on the web Windows Update and Windows XP. :-)

  There will be less to download because it will not need to download any original launch here.  It's just going to take what you need.  If you have already downloaded but just use it instead.  No point in wasting bandwidth. :-)
