You never know. Please open a free support incident, Chris.

Good bit of reading there. In my case I am not so sure its just a simple
case of the Registry cleaner has foobared my updates. Before using the
cleaner I did a total backup of the registry AND a system Restore.
Restoring the registry as it was before the cleaner did not resolve the
problem, neither did the system restore, and as I said before..this is the
ONLY update that failed.

Yet another example of a Registry cleaner horking Windows! Think your
Registry needs "cleaning" or "repairing"? Read
http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.

If the free support techs can't help you out, you're probably looking at
a
format & reinstall now.

OK..update....System Restore did nothing to rectify this. I am sure its
just
this KB, maybe MS will release a new version. Anyways Ive had to hide it
for
the time being, so Ill keep monitoring whats happening to this.

Hi. I had actually used a Registry cleaner a couple of days ago, but
have
never had any problems with it...been running it for 6 months. Ill see
if
I
can do a system restore back to that point and retry. Thanks.

Do you use a "Registry cleaner"?

I'd recommend that you open a free support incident about this, Chris.
See links in my previous reply. KB950125 was only released yesterday
(24
Jun-08) so we don't really know that much about it here (yet).

Let us know how you make out, please.

Hi. Firstly to gga...that standalone did not work for me.
Secondly to PA Bear.....Vista SP1 was via Windows update. As I say,
this
was
the only one that failed. There were 2 updates for Vista MCE. The
first
one
went OK, the second failed. I restarted and tried again, but still
failed. The error code was:
80070643 relating to the Office Source Engine (OSE)...I dont have
Office
installed whatsoever, LOL. Hmm, this is wierd.
Thanks for the replys..any other thoughts?

Did you install Vista SP1 via Windows Update or manually? Are you
seeing an error code associated with the failures?

Unlimited installation and compatibility support for Vista SP1 is
