Vista - SP2 problems

64 bit vista ultimate
3gig dual core
8 gb ddr2
asus formula MB

ok i installed sp2 several times. First time it worked fine until we had a power outage and it unregistered my windows installation and cited security breach as the reason why it could not rereg the os. so I reinstalled the OS. after about a week i installed sp2 and again it worked fine for about 3 days Then it unregistered the os again. This time i uninstalled the SP and all was fine. went to reinstall the sp and it would make it to the 100% mark and back out the whole installation. AFter reading forums til my eyeballs bled i found i could "rearm" the system. I did this and SP2 reinstalled fine. The next day updates told me i had 1 important update and it was a sp2 uninstallation tool. I clicked ok and d/l it when the system rebooted it promptly removed sp2. I reinstalled sp2 it reinstalled fine. The next day new definitions for defender came in and when it rebooted it removed sp2 again>??? Any ideas this round robin installation system seems to be stuck in a loop and im stuck with something just not sure what.

Sp2??????

having the same problem .. Go Microsoft .. lol

SP2 for Vista is available here: Windows Server 2008 SP2 and Windows Vista SP2 Beta However, as is pointed out at the link, SP2 is still Beta and consequently may have bugs in the code leading to problems for some people.

D'oh,....of course...

I'll leave the beta and wait for official release.....

Thanks Dwarf .. after the third uninstall - reinstall it seems to have settled.
