Will not update to Vista SP2 - but think it is.

Hello

What happens is-

  • I run the SP2 Setup (which was updated by the way is only 6 MB is told)
  • I got the warning in close all programs and that it might take several reboots
  • When I click on Next , the dialogue IMMEDIATELY disappears and I get Windows Update says it is installed correctly (and I mean immediately)
  • I find the update history and reports of successful installation but there is no trace of what either updated elsewhere as in the properties of the system or the installed updates
  • I run Windows Update, and it offers to install SP2 again

Have repeated several times - see screenshot:

I'm running a Lenove 3000 N500

Any help greatly appreciated

Hello

Thanks for all the help

I couldn't run even in safe mode.

So I decided to just do a full reinstall from the recovery partition.
Given that I had downloaded the full SP2 that combines the previous updates, it looked like a great time.

SP2 installed without problems now.

Only problem now is that Lenovo ThinkVantage Updater is not yet compatible with SP2 - but that's for another forum!

    When I check the system again, there is no sign on SP1 installed on the machine, and when I go to check updates, SP1 is also available, like as if it was never installed.

  • Windows Update will not update on Vista

    Have a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop computer that I use very rarely.  Windows Vista service Pack 2 32-bit, Internet explorer 9.  Last used in July 2015 and was properly executed alll Windows updates.  When I turned this back on a week, he n;' t running windows updaIe, he just constantly sought to updates - no error code.  It would also not essential security update.  I thought that maybe I had lost the connection with microsoft, so I checked to see if I could download Security Essentials, which I did and installed successfully as he said it was the essential security upgrade and the definitions are updated.

    When I initially turned it a week ago, I noticed that it was not keeping the date correctly, so I figured well battery CMOS was dead.  Put a new battery in and now is keep date and time correctly.

    All other functions of the computer seem to work normally, internet, Word, etc..  Just cannot get a Windows Update.  I checked F2 Setup and it does not appear that anything was out of sync because of the battery flat, except he apparently went back to the default values on boot encode as he thought he had a diskette that is not.  Changed and it is now successfully boot from C:

    Any thoughts?  Thank you.

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

    Hello

    My devices Toshiba P200 DVD/CDROM has stopped working (code 39) since I've updated with Vista SP2.

    TOSHIBA DVGW/HD TS-L802A-ATA
    RSFOBUJ XEBG5QVCPQ7C SCSI

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

    I download and run the Microsoft devcon command-line utility.

    > devcon stack gencdrom

    I guess that this lower filter of "tdcmdpst" (the writing of TOSHIBA motor filter driver) is the issue.
    But I can't remove the filter 'tdcmdpst' even with admin rights.

    > devcon classfilter lower tdcmdpst

    DevCon has failed.

    How can I remove this filter to upgrade Vista SP2?

    Kind regards

    Nicolas

    Can roll you back OS to an earlier time before installation of SP2?
    Drive works properly again?
