• Windows Vista Service Pack 2 installation problem

  I am having major problems installing service pack 2 on windows Vista on a Dell Inspiron from 32-bit. It returns the 8007000D error code.

  I tried the PC back to factory settings, removing the anti-virus and the deactivation of some things non-nessasary start up with msconfig. Also, I have disabled all the wireless devices using a switch on the side of the laptop - it seems that would enable me to install service pack 1.

  Even with all the foregoing it always fails and recommends the system "Update system tool" update running. I have run, restart the computer and run the SP2 and it does not always work with the same error message.

  The only other methods recommended to install must remove antiviris and other programs that I've done so I don't know what to do!

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  Matthew

  Robear,

  Thanks for your reply.

  I looked at the link (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947366) and went through all the troubleshooting guide without success. With my current attempts to install SP2 (after the return to factory settings), I remove McAfee from the computer (that came with it as default) and then install the service pack SP1 and SP2 by using the stand-alone installation programs by downloading from another computer.

  Thank you for give me the Microsoft technical support link, that I had read on another thread that the free support is exhausted.

  I will try to sue microsoft and come back here if I have any luck!

  Thank you

  Matthew

• Windows vista service pack 2 installation error

  Hello:
  I tried to install windows vista SP2 via windows update, but it has failed, the error was 80070001. I tried to install sp2 by using the stand-alone Installer, but there was another error has occurred, probably 0x80070005. I even closed all running programs (including those of the icon of the status bar) and I even tried to delete the folder c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, but same error when I try to install sp2. In addition, I have installed the analysis tool, and it did not work, either, same error when I tried to install sp2.
  I am running windows vista home basic 32-bit
  What software may conflict with the installation of windows vista sp2?
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello Windows Vista,

  Afraid that verify that you have all of the corrupt files.  To do this, follow these steps:

  1. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, clickStart, click principally made programs, accessories, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

  2. type the following command and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  Thank you for using answers Forum. Please let us know how it works.

• 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.

  Hi coopervane,

  You can try a system restore by booting from the Windows Vista disc. Will need you the Windows Vista disc to do an offline system restore. You may need to contact the manufacturer of the computer or make arrangements for any Windows Vista disk that will help you start the computer and go to optins Startup Repair tool.

  To use offline system restore, you must have a Windows Vista CD or DVD. In addition, your computer must be configured to start from the CD-ROM or DVD drive. In some cases, you may need to change the settings of the BIOS on the computer to configure the computer to start from the CD-ROM or DVD drive. For more information on the configuration of the computer to start from the CD-ROM or DVD drive, see your computer documentation or contact the manufacturer of the computer. A recovery disk will not help, because it will erase all your data.

  First of all, start the computer from the reader. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Insert the Windows Vista CD / DVD and restart the computer.

  2. When you receive the following message appears, press a key:

  Press any key to start from the CD or DVD.

  3. set the following preferences, and then click Next:

  o language to install

  o time and currency formats

  o keyboard or input method

  Then, use the offline System Restore to remove the service pack of Windows Vista. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. click on repair your computer, select the operating system you want to repair if necessary and then click Next.

  2. click on System Restore, and then click Next.

  3. click about to restore that corresponds to the date of installation of the service pack. The Restore Point will be labeled either install: Windows Update or install: Windows Vista Service Pack .

  4 confirm the disk hard that you want to restore, and then click Next.

  5. click Finishand then click Yes when you are prompted.

  6. when the system restore process is complete, click restart to restart the computer.

  7. when the computer restarts, click close to confirm that the system restore completed successfully.

  I hope this information is useful.

  Please let us know if you need further assistance.

• I can't update windows until I reinstall windows vista service pack 2 CD but I do not have the CD. I have just the product key. How can I reinstall it with the key.

  I tried to update to windows, but get error 80070490 that says I have a corrupted file (CBS Manifest) that is to be updated... so I check the error and it says to uninstall windows and reinstall using the dvd... but I don't have the dvd for windows vista service pack 2... I have the id... product help, my pc is done to the breakpoint until I make updates! I tried Fix - It, and it says error can not continue... I ran to day thought advise that I could upgrade to windows 7... but apparently so that I can fix the problems of windows, I'm stuck. Thanks for any help!

  Hello

  Error code 80070490 claims a repair upgrade install, not an uninstall and clean reinstall.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80070490

  If you receive the Windows Update 80070490 error, it means that a file (CBS Manifest) that is needed to install updates is corrupt. To correct this problem, you will need repair Windows. Repair Windows will not damage your personal files or the programs that are installed on your computer.

  Have you tried the other option for system update readiness tool in the link I just gave you?

  The System Update Readiness Tool for Windows can correct some conditions that cause Windows Update 80070490 error. You can access and run this tool by reading this Knowledge Base article on the Microsoft Web site.

  And you need a DVD of Vista from Microsoft to do a repair installation upgrade according to the instructions, NOT the normal manufacturer's recovery disks.

  You will need to borrow a Microsoft Vista DVD from a friend or working knowledge.

  Here's how a repair upgrade installation:

  "How to perform a repair for Vista Installation"

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And if you can't get a loan from a Vista DVD from Microsoft, you may need to do a reinstall of Vista:

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
