For Windows Vista, Service Pack 1 will not completely install.
On Windows Vista Home Premium, 32 - bit system, trying to update Explorer 7, that no longer works, to Explorer 9, which requires SP1 (KB936330) and SP2 as required components. I use Windows Update method, Guard sent me with Service Pack 1 (KB936330) to update. However, I do, and then he said it will take about an hour and do not use my computer. I do this but in a few minutes 'complete' and said "completed successfully." I have now more than a finished SP1 (KB936330) entry on my page in the history of the update, BUT does not appear under installed updates, so it seems that's not install completely. Why? How should I fill this out so I can go on installing SP2, then Explorer 9?

Updated my computer to Windows Vista Service pack 2 for x 64 function foires systems
Okay, so I have recently updated this Windows Vista Service pack 2 for x 64-based systems.
After the update and restarting, I connected only to find myself staring at a blank white screen. However, I managed to hit the keys ctrl + alt + delete and go to the Task Manager to launch explorer.exe through the "new task...". ' button.
This brings me to my normal desktop, but none to start startup programs and CPU usage is 100% which makes the performance of my laptop more slow.
Sometimes I try to restart the laptop and it starts normally after the connection, but that happens only about 15% or less of the time.
Is there a way I could resolve this problem and I function normally again?
BTW,
I don't have the CD of Windows Vista or install, so I can't really replace him.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi DaColossus,
Method 1
I suggest that you perform the system restore before installing Windows vista service Pack 2 on the computer.
System Restore: frequently asked questions
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions
Method 2
Once the service pack 2 for Windows vista is uninstalled from the computer, I would say that repair you system files on the computer by running SFC scan.
The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.
For more information please visit the link below.
