Vista updates not defective to install SP1 & SP2

original title: Vista will be not updated

I help my neighbor with his laptop Dell 1520 running Vista. She had some problems with IE-7 and I noticed that the laptop has not had a successful Windows at a time update long (do not have SP1 or SP2). I tried several attempts to get the updates to work and finally reloaded the operating system software Windows Vista to factory state - first of the recovery on the HARD drive partition, then a second time since the recovery disks provided by Dell. In both cases, the subsequent updates refused to stick. The first batch of 107 updates downloaded and installed, but then to restart something goes wrong and the system goes into Startup Repair which ends with a system restore. The end result is that many updates end in failure. Never can get past this, even by trying all the updated Microsoft suggested tips (mode boot, security turned off, audit, FixIt, clear temporary files, etc. of disk errors). When I run Windows updates again, I selected 107 updates to be installed again.

I suspect that I have a HDD laminated, but thought that I would like to ask for help. Any suggestions on next steps?

  • After a reset of vista, it was impossible to install SP1 SP2 so

    as stated above - sorry, 1st time here

    After a reset of vista, it was impossible to install SP1 SP2 so. Finally, it was done via remote control by m/s. If I restore to new testament, I have the same problem? (looks and deliver it with the "build" number)

    I don't know because I don't know what was the problem in the installation of SP1 and SP2.  It is possible that the same issue may occur again.  I don't know any specific build of Vista which has particular problems associated with MS, but I'm not a expert on the Windows updates - if Microsoft Support tells you that it is possible that this is the case.  It may very well work the next time, or you may encounter the same problems again - who knows.  In any case, it is really not that you can do about it, unless you want to buy another copy of Vista with a different "build number" so that you can improve the chances that the upgrades will work without any problem (but do you really want to spend the money on that when all it takes) (, it's a lttle help to get install them again the situation would occur again?).

    I hope this helps.  If you have any other questions regarding updates Windows, including Service Packs, please post in the Windows Update Forum at: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads where the updates, including service packs experts will be more than happy to help you with your questions or problems.

    Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847) x 86, and update for Windows Vista (KB975467) ISecurity. I tried the patch but no luck.  How can I download these updates?

    Download and run the system update tool.

    Note After you run the tool, the Checksur.log file is located in the following location:

    In a default installation of Windows Vista, this file is located in the following folder:

  • 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!

  • Windows Update does not work after installing SP1 of W7.

    A friend of mine gave me a Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 with 32-bit of Windows 7 Starter (installed at the factory date: 01/11/10). 1 GB of RAM, processor 1.66 Ghz I duel performed a factory reset so I could start with a "new" computer When he was asked to implement W7 for the "first time" I put W7 to recommended settings. For the next few days, everything seemed like it was working fine. Updates are automatically downloaded and installed, until W7 SP1 has been installed. Now, Windows Update is stuck on "checking for updates". WU is always fixed to automatically download and install, but when I opened WU I see the message "check updates for your computer". When I click on the button control updates WU is stuck updates. I left this process continues for 24 hours. Meanwhile, the Dell Mini didn't stop, go to sleep, or put into hibernation, but WU is to always check the updates. That's what I tried: the automatic "FixIt" button from this link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/troubleshoot-problems-installing-updates#1TC=windows-7 . Troubleshooting Windows Update from this link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/open-the-windows-update-troubleshooter (I got the message "Windows update error 0 x 80070057 not fixed" this troubleshooting.)  and the resolution of the problems in the Panel "Will fix problems with Windows Update". All 3 have not solved the problem with Windows Update. Can someone please help with this problem? I hope I included enough information.

    The installation is blocked by a search being updated in the background. Research of automatic update to 'never check updates', reboot, and then install the value KB3102810.

    If components are installed and SP2 does not recognize
