I just got Windows 7 Enterprise N about a week ago. It is for my computer networking class, our teacher also gave us a bit more other software and I am trying to find out what I am doing wrong. I have installed and ran the precursor software from microsoft.com to make sure that my computer is able to use SP1 and I don't have any problems in my registry. It is an official, licensed version and registered, and all the other updates work. I have manually downloaded and tried to install it and still nothing. Where do I start on troubleshooting this?
After I reinstalled it, and went on to update the W7 SP1 a strange noise came out of my machine just as it began installing it, and then it seemed like my hard drive crashed, so the PC became unresponsive and I had to shut it down by holding in the button (it tried to recover files when I started it up again, hence my hard drive problem theory).I've since reformatted my machine five times and the exact same thing happens, everything, including hard drive works perfectly until I get to installing Service Pack 1.
Is there any way I can check what is see what is preventing Service Pack 1 KB 976932 from installing on my laptop? My laptop is running fine, all other updates installed normally. Don't know whether its a related issue or not but when I connect my Samsung Galaxy S to my laptop via USB, I get MTP driver install failure.
Ok, so i have just built my pc and have been finding it impossible to update to service pack 1. The reason given is: Code 80070057 Windows Update encountered an unknown error. I have researched this type of topic for about 2 days now and haven't found any good solution so i'm trying to post myself now. I have run an sfc scan and this is my test results:Here is some more info about my PC.
I'm having trouble updating to service pack 1 in Win 7 x64 Home Pre by Dell OEM. There is another post that the problem can be solved using the log file so I have tried using the Readiness Tool and the log is as followed:
I installed Service Pack 1 for Windows 7. After it rebooted, on the Windows 7 loading screen it shows "Applying update operation XXXX of XXXX". After a certain number it says "Error applying operation XXXX of XXXX", and then the system proceeds to hang on that screen, meaning that I am unable to access Windows. I try mashing F8 for my life when resetting the computer, but I never get a list of boot options, so I cannot get into Safe Mode or even try the computer's Last Known Good Configuration. The edition of this version of Windows 7 is 64 bit Ultimate. The laptop I am using is also 64 bit Ultimate.
Another thing I want to point out is that both of these computers have been taking an incredibly long time (near 12 hours at this point) trying to download and install Service Pack 1. There is no spyware or anything running in the background. I am fearing that I might get the same error on this machine but I have taken the liberty of creating a System Restore point in the event it happens. I have two other Windows 7 machines in the house (32 bit Professional and 64 bit Home Premium), and both of them installed Service Pack 1 without any kind of problem, and both of those computers installed them rather quickly.
I have been receiving and installing updates to my Windows 7 computer for about a year now. So far there have been no problems. About mid year of 2011 I installed SQL Server 2005 Express. Not certain the problem I am having began then or later, like about November 2011.The problem is that Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 update will not install (file size 431.7MB), any ideas why? Does not appear to effect anything else as my computer appears to be running fine.
Today windows downloaded and installed SP1 automatically. After that, the power went off, when it came back and I booted the PC it started updating as it would usually do, it finished updating then rebooted and started updating again, this happened around three times (no failure, just installs over and over again). I became tired so I shut it down and it displayed "Failure configuring Service pack. Reverting changes", after that it rebooted again but began installing the SP once more, I rebooted again in safe mode and it began reverting changes once more only to reboot again and attempt to update once more.Right now it's reverting changes once more and I'm just sitting here waiting and I don't know what to do (also, it's been reverting for quite a long time, around 30 minutes)
I have a Sony Vaio laptop, maybe 2-2.5 years old. I let it install the updates earlier this afternoon and it needed to restart to finalize everything. I did not have it plugged up but thought there was plenty of battery life so I let it restart and went to do a couple things around the house. I was only gone 10-15 minutes but when I got back it was dead.
So I plugged it up and tried to power it back up. The VAIO screen comes up and then it goes straight to a black screen with a little blinking dash mark in the top left corner. The dash moves down 2 or 3 lines and then just sits there and blinks. I cannot get the computer to do anything else.
Issues with installation of a recently released update from Microsoft
Security Update for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 (KB970892) error code 6D9E fails to finish and install.... have went to microsoft and attempted to download the files, however installation fails during this process as well.... any suggestions?
Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 for x64-based Systems (KB973688). I've continuously receive an error stating this update failed. I've been trying to figure what could be the cause. I just purchased a new laptop (Acer - Aspire) that was preloaded with Windows 7. All other updates have been successful. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, has anyone had any trouble with installing MS 2007 software on Windows 7; do you forsee my current issue hindering future MS 2007 install? I'm currently using MS 2003.
I reinstalled Windows recently, but it used the same boot partition from my old installation. I got rid of the old partition (it was on the wrong hard drive) and created a new one with the repair disc. Windows boots, but won't install updates. Bcdedit outputs The boot configuration data store could not be opened. The system cannot find the file specified.
I downloaded the service pack last night. It installed with no problem. Sort of embarrased to say this, but I have been unable to get into Farm Town on Face Book today. It's the first time I tried since installing the service pack. This has happened on both the desktop and laptop. Both are Windows 7 64 bit.
in my list of updates since it was released. However I have put off installing it until the reviews were in.Last nite I decided to bite the bullet and do the install,and lo and behold SP1 is nowhere to be found in the list of available updates?Also checked update history to be sure it didn't get installed sneakily nowhere to be found?Spent sometime on the internet looking,but could find nothing addressing this.Where do I get SP1 now? Microsoft website?Why is it gone from the update list?
Is anyone else having problems getting the new service pack for Windows 7 installed? I keep getting an error towards the end of the installation. I dont rememeber the error code but it happed on both my laptops I tried to intall it on.
I never realized it until just now, when I looked through Windows Update. It's been trying to install the service pack update about a hundred times behind my back since LAST JULY. and every time the status is "Failed."
I had checked because I just installed it last night again and shut down my computerr and everything seemed fine. Then this morning I noticed the windows update icon in the taskbar and saw it again even though I just installed it last night and noticed all the failed installations
I have a PC running windows 7 64-bit and I am finding it impossible to get windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) to install. I start the installation and it seems to run for more than an hour and appears to be installing OK; but when I restart the PC I get an error saying that the installation was not successful and it the rolls back to where it was before I started the installation. I have tried to install a numbr of times, but without success.I have also tried:
* Stopping all non-essential start-up items by disabling them booting on startup using msconfig.
* Stopped all firewall and anti-virus from running during installation
* Run the Windows Update System Readiness Tool (kb947821) before the installation
* Run the Windows Update troubleshooter
* Running the installer from within Windows Update, as a standalone x-64 bit installed downloaded from Microsoft, and as an iso file burned to a DVD
* Run sfc.exe /scannow which reported no errors.
Other Windows Updates seem to install OK - it is just the SP1 update that refuses.[For info: I have another PC that I recently updated (clean install) from XP to Windows 7. I had a similar problem on this PC after I had performed all the other Windows Updates and instaleld my normal suite of programs. SP1 also refused to install. In the end, I reistaleld Win 7 from disc and then immediately installed SP1 before installing any other updates or programs. SP1 installed OK. However I do not want to follow this route on my main PC as it has a load of programs installed which will take a few days to reinstall if I have to start from scratch].
I am Still Finding Out how to Show my IDE Hard Disk (Samsung SP0842N)But when I start the Setup, It Redirect to the Load Driver.What Should I Do to Install Windows 7 from my IDE DVD-ROM to IDE HDD?
I was updating neighbors PC last night and when I tried to install the windows 7 service pack from windows update at the end of the install it would say it failed then when I rebooted the pc it would say configuring windows and when it reached 32% it would stall and then say it was removing updates and reverting, then it would reboot, do the same thing, reboot and do that cycle like 6 times before windows would actually load up like normal. It happens if I download the .exe version or I try to get it from windows update.
Its a dell pc (forgot the model but its newer has a core i7 860 in it). Has windows 7 ultimate 32bit on it.
Is it possible to install the service pack on a laptop without having it plugged in?I have tried the stand alone update and thru windows update. Keeps saying to plug in my power cord.
Every time I rebooted my laptop windows runs through preparing to configure windows, then configuring the service pack, starting at 35% and finishing on 37% and then boots windows normally. This is very annoying to go through everytime I reboot. I ran the portable fix it program from microsoft to fix windows update problem but it I booted into safe mode to try uninstall the service pack to reinstall but now when it reboots it says preparing to configure windows, then failure to configure service pack, reverting changes. Now it does this every time.I've tried running windows updates to try to reinstall but it just seems to go on forever. I have also run the System update readiness tool from microsoft but it does the same as the windows updates, runs continuously
I noticed that after installing SP1, when I subsequently went to run Disk Cleanup, I had 920 Mbs of "Service Pack Backup Files. Upon searching the web as to whether I could delete these 920 Mbs of files with impunity and whether I should, there were many differences of opinion. Since I have often been guided by Tech Support Guy, I thought I would solicit the opinion of all of you. While I do not really need the extra space that removal of these 920 Mbs would provide, since I have 54% of free space, I am just uncomfortable with what I believe may be unnecessary files hanging around on my computer.
I cannot install the Windows Service Pack 1 on my Windows 7 notebook. I have attached a picture of what it shows after failing to install the service pack after restarting the computer.
Upon clicking the "Go online..." link, I have followed the steps exactly as shown here: [URL] The service pack still fails to install.

Any idea when windows 7 service pack 2 will come out. Will jit ust be a standard update. or a service pack with some new features I such as where windows can reinstall a fresh copy of itself which is a feature in windows 8 comming out. What version of internet explorer will be included in this service pack.It must be 200 updates since service pack 1 so I wonder how service pack will be different from what i have now.
Recently I worked with the tech support at McAfee when I couldn't install my updates or virus scan my Aspire one netbook.I was told that McAfee was fixed but will not run until I pay them $179.00 to fix my Windows 7 Service pack which is apparantly missing a file. They called it an error in attribute record and said the error is inthe operating system of my computer.
I have a brand new laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit pre-installed on it. Some of the programs that I paid big money for that I ran on Windows XP service pack 3 32bit won't install. Is there are way around this problem?
