Hi there, see if the first link explains why there was a problem with the installation.
The second one shows you a tutorial about System Restore in case you need it and the last
links are where to obtain help from Microsoft.
The update is not installed successfully, you receive a message, and the computer restarts
when you try to install an update in Windows Vista
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949358
For those who are unfamiliar with System Restore in Vista - see Using System Restore from
the Vista Windows Recovery Environment
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial142.html
Unlimited installation and compatibility support for Vista SP1 is available at
no charge through 18 Mar-09

| TaurArian: Thank you for your response. I will research the link you
| provided. Meanwhile, the following is offered as information regarding my
| attempts to download and install Windows Vista SP1:
|
| Another attempt was made after my post. The 'Preparing to Install',
| 'Downloading', and 'Installing' went rapidly as I assume that most of the
| info was already in my computer from prior attempts. Eventually, I got the
| encouraging phrase, "The updates were successfully installed". Upon being
| directed to restart the computer, the screen said, "Installing Service Pack,
| Stage 1 of 3. Do not turn off your computer". Here I do not understand why,
| when there had already been a window that said "Installing", was SP1
| installing again on restart? Although Stages 1 and 2 seemingly went well,
| Stage 3 stopped at 51%. After an hour, no progress. I shut the computer
| down and restarted it. Stage 3 install came back up on the screen and
| completed the installation. Now the problems began. I was unable to boot my
| computer to its normal situation. After several attempts with differing
| results, I gave up for the day.
|
| This morning, after a couple of failed attempts, I was finally able to get
| to my e-mail, sort of. In finding notification of your response, I clicked
| on the link that was supposed to take me to this discussion group. It did not
| do so. I got a "Done" but a blank screen. I had to go back and find out how
| I got here yesterday.
|
| The only reason I pass on this information is to indicate that installing
| Vista SP1 has been frustrating and I am not sure that all my systems are back
| to normal. If futher problems present themselves, I plan to either uninstall
| SP1 or do a System Restore to get me back to conditions prior to the
| installation.
|
| Again, thank you for your response. LJH
