Hello LisaQuaranto,
I suggest that you configure the computer to start in minimum mode, download the update from the Download Center and try to install the update.
To perform a clean boot on a computer that is running Windows Vista:
a. Click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
b. on the general tab, click Selective startup.
c. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
d. click OK.
e. When prompted, click on restart.
f. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.
If your problem is resolved after the clean boot, and then follow the steps in the following article to narrow down the exact source:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
In addition, refer to the section on how to restore your computer to a Normal startup mode by following the steps under "Reset the computer to start as usual", after performing the clean boot troubleshooting.

My system (Vista 32-bit SP2) tried to install update KB980248 for several weeks, but I keep getting error code 80073712. I tried to follow the directions on the site by running the system preparation tool update... did not work. Then I tried to go back to a restore point and try the update again. Yet once, didn't. I went back several restore points, but it has always failed. I don't have an installation DVD, because it came with Vista preloaded.
Help?

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.
Thank you
MattWhat application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription? What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications? What third-party firewall (if applicable)? Who were these applications that run in the background when you installed SP2?
A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on this machine (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

Friday morning I wasn't able to boot my computer more. When I start my computer it won't seek to set a parameter nr 3 of 3. And then it restarts again. My computer tried to install some windows update settings the day before with no success. I Don t remember what it was. I got Vista SP2
The same problem happends to my computer from friends four days, after she start a windows update installation. But it has solved its problem by using the Windows installation CD and use the repair tool.
For me, my Windows installation CD I got from Dell does not work. Not the tool repair or startreparation. And I have no reference system to return.
What should I do? I don't want to reinstall windows again, I have a lot of information on the computer I need to.
All the world has noticed this problem?
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.
See you soon.

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 link provided and make a bootdisk of it.
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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~If the ISP above Mathods to solve your problems, save your data using one of the methods below, and then reinstall Windows:
1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.
Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.
Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.
When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.
Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.
Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).
Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

I know that RCT3 Platinum is an Atari game that no poster not taken in charge by Vista but I spoke with many people who are able to properly install and play. I tried their support and received no response as well as to aid their forums that I am hoping to find some help here. As soon as I click on the setup.exe to install from cd I get a screen InstallShield Wizard brief then immediately after an error stating "an error (-5006: 0x8000ffff) occurred during the execution of installation. Once the error screen is closed all the other screens nearby installation and that's it. I tried to install as administrator and with XP, 2000, 98, 95 & compatabilities but without success. I have an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz processor with Nvidia GeForce 9500GT video on Vista home premium SP2. Any suggestions with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi Quaker13,
Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum
We have no information about compatibility. So, we will not be able to help a lot. When a game is not compatible or does not know compatibility then the program may or may not work on the operating system.
See the link below that supports the theory

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.

No sound on Vista after installing SP1/SP2 with Realtek
Hello.
I encountered a strange problem on the computer of my parents-in-law office. After an installation of SP1 (and later SP2) no sound stereo speakers that is connected to the computer to an outlet.
The computer is an Acer Aspire T180 with a built-in audio device Realtek HD (5.1, but the connected speakers are two standard PC speakers), and the operating system is Vista. Before installing SP1, the sound was working properly, and absolutely no software or hardware changes have been completed.
My troubleshooting so far include:
-Tested with a helmet and another pair of speakers that I know works
-I have obviously checked that nothing is cut in all available parameters, or speakers
-Tried each input/output on the back of the computer, as well as on the front
-Checked in "output devices" that the speakers are connected and checked by default device
-Tried the two codecs/drivers available here: http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/desktop/aspire_t180.html
-Tried the drivers of avaiable supplied directly from Realtek: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
-Uninstalled Realtek everything (both in the Device Manager and programs) and let Vista automatically install the original drivers
-Disabled the 'digital output device (s/PDIF)"which is in the list of devices in output/game
-Unchecked the 'detect connection on the front"in Realtek audio manager program
-In addition, SP2 has been installed, which did not help. In addition, I tried every setting available, uninstalled/installed and so on. During music playback (or test tones Realtek or Windows sounds) all is apparently looking for OK with indicators of volume, jumping up and down, but everything is quiet.
So I'm out of ideas and cannot understand this. I am very grateful for any help and advice. Thank you!
