two (2) tries to install
both times "failed" that's all that is displayed
new dell machine worked fine (till now)

any ideas?? (please)
 
Right now I am just trying to determine if Sp1 installed itself Tues. From
what I can tell it appears not.
I looked at updates installed, and I do not see this listed. Nor Do I see it
in the suggested install list.
I saw on a MS link to click Start then R-click Computer, and look for an
Edition box.
I do not see anything like that on my sys. Vista Bus. using Classic
settings..

Right now I have no prob. waiting, just want to see if I have it or not.
This is a new HP Pc w/Vista preinstalled.

everything shut down. no external devices
all i get here is a note on the screen saying error did not finish
installing sp1
the "up-date" pages shows all up-dates til these three (3) now as completed
ok. these three(3) just -"failed"- and the date.

would this work from "safe mode"??

thanks for you time

Here is advice given on another forum for some people trying to install SP1:
1. Back up all of your data files.
2. Create a Restore Point.
3. Download the 434MB 5-language file from http://tinyurl.com/32z6vj
4. Start > msconfig (as administrator).
5. Under Services tab, check the Hide all Microsoft services box.
6. Under Services tab, Disable all.
7. Under Startup tab, Disable all.
8. Reboot.
9. Install the SP1 download - expect 30-60 minutes with 2-3 reboots.
10. When complete, go to msconfig as administrator again, restore the
Services and Startups you wish to run, or under the General tab select
Normal startup.

You're finished.

If you encounter any conflicts, use msconfig to suppress the startup or
service causing it, and seek the latest driver, file, app, etc.

If you cannot get an updated file/app/driver that is compatible with SP1,
and you must have that function, roll back. Sorry...

No warranty with this advice, though I was successful on three
recalcitrant computers that should have updated the simple way, but
wouldn't. They run fine now, showing 6001. Good luck to you, and please
report here.
