| 841990 | 2009-12-21 19:02:00 | Hi all. Vista Buisiness on a Dell Insparon 1501. Updating this work laptop after reinstalling Vista following HD failure but SP1 will not install. first attempt it did not get past initial setup. I get this message Error 0x80070078 See article 101139. Checked the MS article. Suggested disabling FW AV etc for second attempt after disabling the above it failed during restarting. One part of the article said that if it was for installation on a single machine, to do it through automatic update. Some of the suggestions in the article said to let Widoze download and install it through automatic updates but SP1 is not showing in the update list so I downloaded the stand alone service pack. How do I get Automatic update to do its thing |

Then see if windowsupdate works Ok sequence While searching for SP1 read note about letting AU do it. Went looking for it in AU As I could not find it I downloaded and ran the stand alone. First error message. Read article Disabled FW AV etc Tried install again. Same message. Are you magic Speedy? Just looked at AU again and bugger me there it was ????????????????????????????????????????? It was not there before I started this thread so will see what happens. |

| 841993 | 2009-12-21 20:33:00 | How is it going now?? Sometimes, if you've installed updates (before a SP), and you dont reboot when it tells you to. Windowsupdate wont work either. Until you reboot, it updates. And you check for updates again | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
