Re: Vista SP1: failed installation


Thank you for your response Peter.

All firewall/anti-virus protection is always turned off prior to attempting
to install the updates.

I have already tried the stand-alone installer, but I will try it again.

Thank you for the watermark fix; I also had found it and downloaded it just
in case SP1 installs successfully.

I noticed during the most recent attempt at allowing Windows Update to
download and install KB938371 that the download was stuck on 0% for about 10
minutes.

Thank you again for your suggestions,
edsager
