I have upgraded my laptop from Vista to Windows 7 and since installed 91 updates. Service Pack 1 installs but then fails to configure. I have tried so many different ways to sort this, all without success. I even tried to install and configure in 'Safe Mode' but it made no difference. I cannot install my printer drivers and I am hoping it is merely because of the lack of SP1 being installed.
View 3 RepliesI'm running Windows 7 Home Premium x64, trying to install service pack 1 thru windows update. First time I tried to install along with some other updates and it failed to download. Second time I downloaded on its own and it installed fine. Computer then restarted and displayed 'Failure configuring service pack. Reverting Changes'. Now it keeps restarting and doing the same thing over. I can't access my computer while this is happening.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI went to Microsoft Update. I was installing SP1. On shutdown (and now on boot) I just get the "Configuring Service Pack, 8% Complete, Do not turn off your computer." When I went to bed it was at 8%, when I woke up it was at 8%.Luckily I have an Ubuntu dual boot. That allows me to post this message.Is it even possible to do a system restore (restore to a past restore point) now?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy system tells me that an update is ready for installation. It turns out to be Service Pack1 KB976932. It loads and installs. On reset, the system stalls on �Starting Windows� with that fuzzy MS colors icon on the screen. 10 minutes later I press Alt,CTRL,DEL� nothing happens. I press NumLock, no light change, so I do a hard reboot.��Launch Start Up Repair� is reported. Then �Unable to Start, Searching for problems� as the progress bar indicator sweeps across. It times out and asks �Do you want to Restore�, I hit OK and the progress bar indicator sweeps across again. This goes on for about 15 minutes.�Cannot Repair Automatically� and when I hit OK, the system turns off.On redstart, it boots fully and is probably in the same arrangement as before this whole session. This is the third time I have run through this process.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been onto the Microsoft support page and followed various "cures" all to no avail. I have been into control panel and gone through the windows troubleshooting advice and it tells me that it has found and fixed problems with my Windows update and installed 9 updates. When I click to restart I get the same failure message at startup.It seems to recycle the startup procedure 3 times before it eventually gets to my desktop page, and when I look ar my update history there is a long list of failed installations.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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].

View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter 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.
