Re: Interrupted download SP1 for Vista Business - fix error too!

Is Spybot Tea Timer enabled?

Is Ad-Aware's Guard service running in the background when you attempt to install SP1?

What "blue screen" (BSOD) errors are you getting? I would STRONGLY recommend get those issues resolved before attempting to installed SP1 again.

=> Please begin a new thread in the appropriate Vista-specific newsgroup about the BSODs.

=========================
Unlimited installation and compatibility support for Vista SP1 is available at no charge through 18 Mar-09

Soory, typo error when I should have said:
Have tried by update and manually when update failed then update's help
proved unsuccessful. I am logged on as administrator. I run AVG, Spybot
and Adaware and no 3rd party firewall.

Are you attempting to install Vista SP1 via Windows Update or manually?

But at his point I get "ACCESS DENIED"

Are you logged on as Administrator?

...add this to my blue scrreens at start-up and
mid-programme use...

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)?

80070002 error code received - follow fix instructions to turn off update
and empty folders etc which I have done - a number of times as
double-check
- but this doesn't work. went to advnaced fix with these instructions
which I followed:

To resolve this problem, remove the download directory, and then visit the
update locations again. To do this, follow these steps:1. Stop the
Automatic
Updates service. To do this, follow these steps:a. Click Start, click
Run,
type services.msc, and then click OK.
b. Right-click the Automatic Updates service, and then click Stop.
c. Minimize the Services snap-in.

2. Rename the SoftwareDistribution directory. To do this, follow these
steps: a. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
b. Type cd %windir%, and then press ENTER.
c. Type ren SoftwareDistribution SDTemp, and then press ENTER

But at his point I get "ACCESS DENIED"

I simply cannot believe downloading the presumably vital service pack is
proving impossible - and add this to my blue scrreens at start-up and
mid-programme use that make me hate this operating system - oh if only it
wouldn't be a nightmare to uninstall and get my stable, reliable,
problem-free XP back!
