Vista SP2 stops at 1of 3 48%

I installed Vista SP2 on 4 computers, 3 times it worked fine but the 4, he stopped at the start of the computer to restart.
He got in regards to step 1 3 48% we waited for about half an hour. We then turned of the computer of the service pack, and then complete normal. We also had a similar problem with the Explorer 8 installation, he obtained 95% when he stopped, but after waiting 3 hours that we have supplied vista and once Vista began arresting installation nomally. The computer is a Dell Vistro about 2 years with Vista Home Priemiun, MYOB accounting and Office 2007. I would like to know what I should check to avoid similar problems in the future.

Thank you

Hi Ray125,

Thank you for using answers Forum.

Antivirus software and third-party startup programs are generally responsible for hang ups by updating.
Sometimes disc encryption software may conflict with updates as well.

You can check for an update of the firmware/BIOS of Dell.
You can also check the Event Viewer logs at the time that the block occurred for more information.

I hope this helps.

  • Upgrade Vista SP2 stops at step 3-0%

    Hello
    My Dell XPS M1330 laptop is running Vista and I've updated with SP2. All went well until it restarted and began to step 3. It says 0% and nothing happens. After a minute or two, the computer restarts and returns to the same step it over again and again...
    I can't get this thing. I tried F8 on the start menu to the top and select all the alternatives, but everyone leads to step 3-0%... and restart. What can I do? I'm furious.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista repair disc.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    There is not a disk of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • Windows vista sp2 freezes at 100% then stops

    Hi all

    having some difficulties to install new updates for vista sp2 I recently bought a new dell xps 625 and installed all the updates correctly, but the last vista I came was the sp2 from vista!

    Solange install obtained 100% then the cpu is not responding and the clock on the pc freezes and the only way I can get it back is to unplug the cpu of the wall?

    Ive left in frozen state for more than 2 hours, thinking maybe it was a big update but still no joy?

    Ive tried taking all anti-virus etc off cpu but still does the same thing?

  • When Vista SP2 will stop receiving the normal Windows updates.

    It was mentioned in another thread that Vista (I guess that SP2) reaches the end of mainstream support in April.

    I have seen this document,

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/lifecycle#section_2

    which suggests to me normal stop support (Windows updates) in April.

    Could you clarify it please exactly what it means for a 'regular' customer with a preinstalled copy of Vista or someone who installed it themselves via a disc OEM etc.

    This means that Windows Update will cease to provide patches, etc from April this year for Vista SP2?

    Thank you...

    Hi Mooly,

    Updates will still be available after April, there will be always some support for updates of security which are sent to the bottom of the Windows Update. According to article http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifepolicy

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • TOSHIBA DVGW/HD TS-L802A-ATA do not work after the update to Vista SP2

    Hello

    I run Microsoft Fix It (http://support.microsoft.com/gp/mats/?ln=en) + "your CD or DVD drive cannot read or write media.

    But I can't remove the filter 'tdcmdpst' even with admin rights.

    DevCon has failed.

  • Error 80004005 by installing Windows Vista sp2 x 64

    I tried to install this updated 4 x I read an answer in this forum which is similar to my problem and I tried the solution, but it would not install.
    I noticed something this last time because I saw the installation process. We all know that the system can reboot several times during the installation. During the 3rd part of the installation, the user account screen asking for the password. However, I had no time to type the password in it, because it jumps to a screen saying that the computer is to install the updates. Then, when the updates for the 3rd party are finished 100% it is said that they can not be installed. Then the computer uninstalls them and puts the computer in its preinstallation State. Is it possible, because I didn't have a chance to enter my password, the computer refuses to recognize me as the administrater during the last part of the installation.  Therefore, maybe stop the installation process of the necessary changes and it returns to the previous state. I'm probably grasp at straws here, because I have never had a problem like this before. Does anyone know what I need to do to remedy the situation?
    I don't know if it's important but I installed another update after the 3rd time. The update has been successfully installed and working. So I thought that everything was ok and tried to install sp2 again. It's the same thing. Why can I install other updates, but not as an individual? Other than this problem installing, the computer works pretty well. I didn't notice a slow or something else for the past two weeks. I'm puzzled.

    I have an (office) Packard Bell imedia x 5705 Intel Core 2 Quad 4 x 1 GB (RAM) 2.33 GHz
    1000 gigabit hard drive
    Type system in Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
    Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT130

    This computer is connected to 2 other computers with a D - Link KVM Switch. One of the other computers has a 32-bit system Intel dual core Vista sp2 running without any problem. They also share a router for internet access broadband.

    Should I try to reuse the recovery disk? I don't want to make things worse.

    Thank you, Debbie - the technical support for all your help.
    I went through all the steps mentioned above in the correct order. However, they have not corrected the problem.
    I used the Packard Bell Recovery Management options and restore my computer to its original state. Then I installed all necessary updates including sp2. I was not activate the preinstalled anti-virus software, or change programs or settings up to that later. That's the good thing. Packard Bell Recovery Management also creates a separate file for all personal files. Thus, when the computer has been reset, I still had my personal files.

  • The installation of Vista SP2 broke my computer

    I've lived in innumerable discussions on this site and many others to solve this problem the Vista SP2 has caused my computer to have. I have a Toshiba with Vista x 64 Home Premium computer and after several attempts failed to download SP2 months ago, I tried last night and after that he was 100% and restarted my computer it actually ruined my computer to be useful. I don't have a vista disc but a recovery partition. I already tried to use the restore point created by vista before installing SP2, but of course since it is vista this restore point fails and I have created several others before, but as if by magic, they are not put at my disposal. What is even more galling it broke my partition Ubuntu separate to be able load as well which makes absolutely no sense.

    I get the same error again and again as hundreds of others after SP2 installation on the black screen: ! 0xc0190036! 3029/89361 (dsound.dll) , I found a solution involving the use of partitions recovery tools command prompt to use this code:

    C:
    CD windows
    CD system32
    faultrep.dll.old Ren faultrep.dll
    output

    now, it worked the first time during this first stop in 1316/89361 on the startup process when he stopped to faultrep.dll, then of course another stop to dsound.dll happened and I tried the same thing, as advised in a support forum and it worked in the command prompt, but loading at startup it will pass fine faultrep since the fix but will not pass the dsound.dll portion.

    I ran a test of memory and a hard drive and it is absolutely not she. It was absolutely the installation of Vista SP2 all screwing.

    A lot of people with this problem have been very well when they could use their restore point, but of course vista is still inconsistent and would not allow me to restore my computer so now I have a $1200 thanks to the crap service Pack2 weight. I can log on to the recovery tools command prompt and open notepad.exe and file open to view my computers content together intact so much, I would like to know a solution for this problem. I also found a command line to uninstall SP2 with high fees, but because I can not connect via the mode without failure of all or the safe mode with command prompt, how am I supposed to use the instructions to uninstall sp2 via command prompt?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated since windows makes my computer a waste of money.

    The page I used to solve problems has been directly for the support site for windows and for exactly the same problem I have but he did nothing. http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/975430 is the link, I tried method 1 is the system restore and that has failed, because it fails just about my only point that shows that I did much more than restoration. Method 2 is to rename the file that stops the boot process, who worked for the first file but not the second. Method 3 is the startup repair that does not work.

  • Cannot start Windows after trying to install the Vista SP2

    I just tried to install Vista SP2 and now whenever I try to turn on the cpu it gives me a blue screen and restarts. It does allow me to start in SafeMode either. In addition, it seems to be impossible to find my restore points. I was able to stop the screen using the F8 menu and it gives me this error on the blue screen

    STOP: 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0X81C223BB, 0X803998F4, 0X803995F0)

    For some reason, when I go to the cmd prompt to advanced troubleshooting guide, I can do, he says that I am the X and not the C drive, if that has something to do with my restore points does not.

    I tried to get the menu of the restoration on C manually through C:\windows\system32\restore\, but nothing was there.

    Any help would be appreciated. I will not lose rather all my data in a reformat.

  • Vista SP2 wireless connection drops

    People, I know this question has been asked before, but I can't find a solution to my problem.  I've had my Dell laptop for about 6 months now and it worked perfectly, without any problem wireless connection.  On Sunday, August 9, I installed Vista SP2.  It updated no problem at all, but once he did his final reboot, it connected to my wireless router for about 5 minutes, then dropped connection.  Now, when you restart it only connects for a minute or two wireless then abandons connection.  I then uninstalled SP2 but it has not solved the problem with wireless.  My wireless adapter is an Atheros AR5007 and drivers are all up to date.

    Anyone know how I can fix this so that my wireless signal stay tuned as he used to pre SP2?
    Thank you.

    Disable the DHCP Broadcast Flag:

    Link: http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/928233

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/322756/ (how to back up and restore the registry in Windows)

    Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or some non-Microsoft DHCP servers

    To resolve this issue, disable the DHCP BROADCAST flag in Windows Vista. To do this, follow these steps:

    Click Start, type regedit in the search box, and then click regedit in the list programs.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\ {GUID}

    This registry path, click the (GUID) subkey that corresponds to the card network that is connected to the network.

    On the Edit menu, point to new, and then click DWORD (32-bit) value.

    In the new area #1, type DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle and press ENTER.

    Right-click DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle, then click on modify.

    In the value data box, type 1 and then click OK.

    Close the registry editor.

    By setting this registry key to 1, Windows Vista's trying to get an IP address using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets. If that fails, he will try to obtain an IP address without using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets.

    Please let us know if it helps.

    Thank you and best regards,
    David
