unable to install sp2 for windows vista      tajohns123 ... Thomas Lee   |   Edit   |   Show History

I have a 32 bit os and have tried several recommendations when encountering the problem of failure to install. The download isn't getting very far when it stops. Initially, I rcvd error msg 80070026. The initial work around was disabling my 3rd party virus protection, still failed, I took down the firewall, still failed. Then I have installed the windows readiness program to ensure that the system is compatible with the service pack. This was done and then the error msg changed to 800F0900. The most recent check for updates found this readinless application to be available, I selected, it installed and then the sp2 update appeared (it wasn't available, but then appeared after the install of the readiness packet > System Update Readiness Tool (KB947821) [April 2009]

As indicated this install went in okay.

What do the error codes mean? I have completed a disk cleanup and removed unnecessary files that are not needed. A laptop we have installed the sp2 successfully. We both have the same 3rd party virus software.

Thanks,

TJ

USB keyboard and mouse disconnect after waking from sleep      Jon H is taken ... fullsink18   |   Edit   |   Show History
After installing Vista SP2 both my Logitech EX 100 keyboard and mouse (which are connected via the same USB wireless reciever) will disconnect after the computer wakes from being asleep. They are connected during sleep and can be used to wake the computer, but once the logon screen is displayed they stop working. After several seconds the Windows hardware disconnection sound plays, and then sone time later the connection sound plays. Several seconds after this the keyboard and mouse start working again. This can all take up to a minute and is very annoying.

I am sure that SP2 is causing this problem as I have removed it using System Restore and the problem disappears. After reinstalling SP2 the problem reappears. Reinstalling drivers for the hardware does not solve the problem.

If I connect the wireless reciever to a USB port on a PCI card as opposed to ones on the mother board the problem does not occour, however this is not convenient as the keyboard is not recognised when the computer starts and so Windows will not load.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have the same issue -- my mouse is a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 (USB, wired). I updated to Microsoft's new driver (version 7) and the behavior did not improve.

same problem.

Same problem (ljp93105). My system is Vista 64-bit. I have to unplug the USB hub from the computer to get the peripherals to come back.

Same problem (fullsink18). Razer Mouse and Keyboard. Vista 32-bit. I noticed this after updating to sp2

Then I check the Update History and appears plenty attemps of installations with Error on the Status at installing Windows Vista SP2 (KB948465) Error Code: 800707D1 at the last one attemp

My Toshiba laptop monitor goes off after the windows start and after loging in with any existing user, usually takes around 20-30 seconds after loging in. This has started directly since Vista SP2 has been installed. The monitor does not goes off completely, the colour of the monitor goes grey not as black as there is no power. the indicators says the windows is still on.

My DVD+-RW drive no longer works after installing SP2      ljp93105 ... Thomas Lee   |   Edit   |   Show History
I installed Vista-32 SP2 and my DVD+-R/W/RAM drive no longer works.
Device manager says
"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"

I can remove the device, but after reboot or "scan for hardware changes" when the drive is found, it still has the same error.

This is on an eMachines system; the drive is described by Windows as HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH40F SCSI CdRom drive. (I'm pretty sure it is a SATA device).

"Check for solutions" gives no response.

I am having the same problem. I tried deinstalling SP2 but it didn't fix the problem. \\tfl - 07 10 09] Hi - and thanks for your post.You should post questions like this to the Technet Forums at http://forums.microsoft.com/technet or the MS Newsgroups at http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/.

Build-in sound card stops working after installing sp2      Grumpy424 ... Thomas Lee   |   Edit   |   Show History
I run Vista Home Premium on my mediacenter.
After installing SP2 my sound card was no longer visible in the device manager.
If support for certain hardware devices is dropped I would expect this to happen with a major version upgrade (e.g. when upgrading from Vista to Windows 7), not when upgrading to a higher service pack.
And if support for a device is dropped I would expect a scan to be done and a warning to be displayed.
Reading the comments above mine, as well as several other fora, I notice many users have fallen victim to this problem.
When can we expect a fix?
