  This is a known bug 'Dumb MS' and very simple to fix. It is simply that the installer wants to put a bit of a music (the standard windows sound) file in a particular place, and the directory does not exist on some copies of OEM Windows XP home.

  You just need to create the folder he wants before rerunning the SP3 update. Not at the moment, I can't find a link to the exact thing, but if these directories do not exist, create them. You must be logged on as administrator user to do this.

  The file beethoven.wma wants to be in the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\Shared Music".
  OR maybe "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\Sample sounds\" on XP-Home Edition

  However, the "All Users" directory down may be missing or not have NO defined permissions.
  To fix it, right-click on "All Users" and click the option 'security '.

  Click on the security"" tab.

  Click on "Add..." »

  Click on 'Advanced... '. »

  Click on "search".

• Windows 7 Service Pack 1 is not installed

  Is anyone else having problems installing Windows 7 Service Pack 1?   He moved after about an hour, then restart starts to day and poster, "Service Pack Update Failed, return to the previous" or something like that.  The journal indicates successful installation, and then restart failed.   I tried to disable my AntiVirus from Symantec, and I tried the standard method of update via the Updater from Microsoft and completely download the update separately.   Probably lost 6 hours because of the time spent waiting for the update at the end and then restart/back back.

  I have the latest VMware Fusion (for Mac) installed and had installed all available updates prior to this service pack as well as IE9 on a MacBook Pro with the latest MacOS.

  At this point, I loaded a previous snapshot before the update and have not tried to install it again by masking the automatically downloaded update.

  Currently Windows 7 SP1 is not officially supported.

• 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.

• Windows Vista Service Pack 1 will not install. -It says "cannot install, change recovery."

  I recently installed windows Vista Home Basic on a hard nine. I want to install sp1, but after long hours of reboot and installation, step 3 of 3, it says "cannot install, restoration of the changes." subsequently, an error message appears indicating that an .exe file (it started with MNT) is corrupted. I was able to remedy this through the command prompt (chkdsk) but I want to know how to install sp1. I ran an sfc scan result were he finds files corrupt, but he couldn't fix it. I then ran the option upgrade from vista startup disk and sfc shows that there are corrupted files. The newspaper did not show all corrupted files sfc was not able to solve. I ran sp1 install from both standalone and windows update. I chose the option the first time and the second time, I shut down the computer and booted from safe mode.

  Thank you for your time and your help.
