Answer» Did I say without a hitch? Did I say without a hitch? did you uninstall SP2 first? You can do that can't you unless you've deleted all the backup stuff made during SP2 installation.Quote from: 2x3i5x on May 30, 2009, 10:04:59 AM did you uninstall SP2 first? You can do that can't you unless you've deleted all the backup stuff made during SP2 installation. Nope. Just did a restore to before the installation.i wonder now, you can undo the system restoration, I'm sure of that so ... SEE if you can't go back to the post-SP2 state before you wanted to go backwards and ee if that won't get it to work, then try uninstalling sp2 this time.But that's the opposite of what I just did. Obviously something wasn't right, so I undid it, and everything's fine again. The intro to SP2 did say something like this "Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack 2 will greatly improve hardware compatibility and usability" - well, it did the opposite for me. Anyway, all service packs do mainly is reinstall all previous updates, as well as a few new ones. All previous updates are installed, so I think I'll be alright.Just after doing a system restore to undo all the changes SP2 made. - My USB 3G modem stopped working - Actually, all USB ports stopped working - Programs would randomly stop responding So, what's up Microsoft? [/quote] The way you typed it here makes me feel that the problems happened when you attempted to get rid of SP2 and that you were OK with SP2 on.Is there any place to buy Vista service pack 2 on disk? It is telling me that it will take over two days to INSTALL this. My top speed is about 46 KBPS.Quote from: I Shooter on June 03, 2009, 04:32:00 PM Is there any place to buy Vista service pack 2 on disk?

Perhaps have a friend with a faster connection DLoad and burn it for you... Best of Luck...completely destroyed my friends pc.Quote from: BatchFileBasics on June 03, 2009, 08:00:27 PM completely destroyed my friends pc. For everything that's developed, at least one person will have it fail for them.let me guess, the old, "service pack installed gigs of porn" issue. notwithstanding the files created and modified dates are long before when the service pack was installed. Mother: what are these? sexy blonde.jpg? hmm. must be ... *censored*! BILLY! GET IN HERE! Billy: What. Mother: WHAT is this? Billy: Oh erm... I installed service pack 2, there's a err.... known issue, with it accidentally downloaded thousands upon thousands of innappropriate, high resolution images. Mother: Well, by golly it's destroyed our PC! there's absolutely no room left! Although I think it's the same amount of room as we had before the service pack, but what do I know!ok smart....but http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=vista+sp2+0xc0000034&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=&aqi= there's also http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Vista+sp1+BSOD&btnG=Search&aq=f&oq=&aqi=Quote For everything that's developed, at least one person will have it fail for them.That's very true. Maybe more than one.... I've been trying to fix one computer on some other board, which became not bootable after SP installation attempt, and so far nada. Can't do anything. It looks like reinstall needed. Don't forget, that I had a problem on my laptop, until I disables all startups, and non-M$ services. Never had any update problem before. |
