Windows vista service pack 1 keeps installing

My computer crashed, so had hard drive reformated and re-loading Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit. Doing all the updates via Windows Update, I get to Service Pack 1. It installs successfully, but won't move onto Service pack 2. I have like 10 supposed successful
installations of Service Pack 1. I even downloaded SP2 and of course it won't install because it says I have to install SP1 first. Read documentation, searched forums and didn't find an answer to this problem. I even downloaded "Mr Fixit" and this didn't help.
I'm somewhat technical, but not a pro. Can's figure this out. Can someone help or point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Maybe im just stupid... But NOTHING that anyone has posted here has helped me at all :P Could someone please explain to me what i need to do to install service pack 1 and 2... I could find someone named Betts83 on the forums that someone said i should
go to and read some posts i found 3 posts.... One that was this exact thread, one that was posted 1st of November and another one wich was posted in 2012... The one from 1st of November didn't help me... And it was the one people said i was suppose to go to
to get help, but it still didn't to anything. Im starting to get impatient because i want to install Assassin's Creed 3, but it requires service pack 2 or higher to run! Maybe because this thread is so old i probably wont get an answer but if someone
would help me fix it it would be much appreciated.

  • Windows Vista Service Pack 1

    Company I work for just got some new MSDN CD & DVD's and included in the pack was the official Windows Vista Service Pack 1 DVD. Just curious if anyone else has tried it with Boot Camp and had any issues? Was considering installing it but just wanted to check the forums to see what's up.

    The general public release of Vista SP1 is out today and supposedly available through Windows Update, yet it does not appear as an available update when I check for it. Microsoft says that will happen in a number of cases, one being if there are incompatible drivers installed (which Microsoft knows about presumably). I'm wondering if anyone running Vista via Boot Camp has been able to access SP1 through Windows Update. It can also be downloaded, but I don't want to try it if it's not going to work. Another problem might be that I only have around 1.75 gigabytes left on the Windows partition. Any advice appreciated.

  • Vista Service Pack 2 install error message and Realtek incompatibility

    Just want to inform that service pack 2 install gave me an error message when I installed it on a clean rebuild of my Toshiba laptop. Something about an incompatible driver. As I had already installed the latest drivers from Toshiba pages, I choose the 'ignore and continue' action at install, and the update successfully completed.
    I then ran the Windows Upgrade advisor utility (just search a Microsoft website to find it) which checks for hardware/driver compliance with Vista.
    Their report says that the Realtek RTL8187B wireless adapter driver has an issue with Vista, and recommends that the latest driver be installed. Since I do have the latest Toshiba driver installed, what is the procedure to follow?
    The wifi connection with this laptop functions well, with the only 'problem' being a 45 second delay when waking up from sleep mode to being able to open a new web page. This is the time it takes to establish a connection to my router/modem.

    > Their report says that the Realtek RTL8187B wireless adapter driver has an issue with Vista, and recommends that the latest driver be installed. Since I do have the latest Toshiba driver installed, what is the procedure to follow?
    You could try the Realtek WLan driver from the Realtek driver page.
    There you can find the latest Realtek drivers for different Realtek chips.
    But to be honest I would not be worried about this massage.
    Something like that can happens always after any installations of the Microsoft service packs.
    I remember that many drivers were not supported by SP1 but they ran properly
    So take it easy ;)

  • Will ipod touch 4 gen work with windows vista service pack 1?

    Will ipod touch 4 gen work with vista service pack 1?

    All Apple says is:
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    Does it work/sync with SP1?
    Why not update to latest Vista?

  • JFileChooser DFS and Windows Vista Service Pack 2

    We updated a computer with Vista Service Pack 2 and now JFileChooser is not opening up links that are DFS.
    To make sure it was not our app I tried using the JFileChooser Demo from Sun and I am still having the same issue. Java will allow me to quick but it will fail silently.
    I have retried using the latest 1.6.0_14 (6u14) JDK and JRE but still no luck (Which says support Windows Vista SP2). Is there a bug with the JRE? We have reverted the computer to SP1 and are alerting our user base.
    Is anyone else having this issue? Do I need to report it as a bug?
    Anyone have a suggestion?
    Thanks,

  • Windows XP Service Pack 2 Installed, still no response from Zen

    I'm at a complete loss what to do now. My Zen Vision M will not connect to my computer. I've done everything suggested in these forums and more. I spent $30 on a high quality Belkin 2.0 USB port and installed it properly. I spent $20 on an AC charger to make sure it was not an issue with charging from the USB port. After 5 hours of waiting on my 56K modem connection I was able to install Service Pack . When this didn't work, I ordered Service Pack 2, waited over a week for it to come. I recieved Service Pack 2 today and installed it properly. Nothing. Why with all these fixes is it still not showing up as connected? I've followed every step to restart, format, and clean up the Zen. I've selected "everyone" in the registery to make sure Windows is allowing it to show up. I've restarted, restarted, reinstalled, restarted, etc., over and over again. It CAN connect, because I am able to use it as a removable storage device. But you cannot play music through this, so what's the point? What else can I do? I would just return the stupid thing, but it was a gift, and I'm trying my best to make it work.

    My computer is fully up to date now, I doubt it would work on anyone else's computer after all the hot fixes, patches, and windows updates I've installed. I don't know ANYONE who keeps their computer that updated.
    I did try it on one friend's computer, and nothing. I really don't know anyone elses' I could try it on. And even then, yeah I highly doubt it would work.
    How much does it cost to send it to creative? Because I've already spent $50 of my own money on this, nevermind how much my dad must have spent buying the thing in the first place.

  • Windows Vista Service Pack 2

    ThinkPad T61p 6459-CTO on Windows Vista Home Premium.
    For over two months, Windows Vista SP 2 has been trying to get installed in my system but it systematically fails installation.
    I have tried everything, from Google searching, posting in Microsoft's forums, searching Microsoft pages, tried to install manually, always with absolutely no success. What shocks me most is that in the Microsoft forums I get no reply, whatsoever. I'm just puzzled. All I could get from those forums was an answer to a similar installation failure, for a different Windows update (meanwhile resolved) that went like this: "Microsoft keeps flooding us with these worthless updates... Just hide it, and you will be fine"...
    In all fairness, I found several materials about this issue in Microsoft's web pages. But I must humbly confess, I found them so confusing and so difficult to follow and to understand, at least for people with my level of knowledge, that I refrained from even attempting to do anything that I did not fully understand, afraid that I might end up creating major problems in my computer, instead of resolving an issue that, at least as far as I can tell, has not been causing major disruptions.
    But I can't deny feeling uneasy with the uncertainty of the situation, which I would summarize like this: Is it safe to keep ignoring the issue and hide this SP2 update, or is it worth it to bring the issue up with a computer expert and pay for an analysis and, hopefully, to a solution?
    Now, if at least someone, more knowledgeable than I, could assure me that this SP 2 package, rated by Microsoft as "Important", can harmlessly be hidden with no major consequences on security or even a big loss of functionality, that would help me a lot in taking a better informed decision.
    Please... Any thoughts would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

    Did you try the system update readiness tool? 
    Cheers and regards,

  • Essential System Updates for Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1)

    Hi, I want to know if this is applicable to sp2 as well. I don't know why there is not one for sp2. I have a hpg60 laptop and this is listed on the drivers page.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    It is just a rollup of Vista updates. All are included in SP2 so you can forget about it. Just apply SP2 (as you did) and run a full MS update and you will be fine.

  • ITunes 10.6.3.25 on PC running Windows 7 (service pack 1 installed)- music progress bar not moving

    Unable to play music from ITunes library or audio cd.  The sound card works, speakers work when tested with audio device.  Audio drivers updated, not sure where to turn.  Have seen similar threads in the recent past.  What needs to happen here.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks

    Is there anyone that can verify they're having this same issue? I called Apple to report the 'glitch' but I'm looking for any others with the same challenge and whether or not you've found a work around.
    Again--I rely heavily on iTunes for business. We use it constantly for live performances...both on it's own and it's integration with Traktor, Serato and DJay
    Thanks Everyone!

  • When will Best Buy offer Vista Service Pack 2?

    It looks like all the Vista PC's on bestbuy.com have service pack 1.  Microsoft released Service Pack 2 on May 26.  When will Best Buy PC's come with Vista Service Pack 2 installed?  It is hard for a person to upgrade to SP2l themsevles?

    When you purchase your computer from best buy with optimization service (or for an existing PC) the update to SP2 is done during The optimization. At least at my precinct  we do.
