You shouldn't need to install any other windows updates that came before SP1 because it already includes the updates that were released before it came out. Also make sure that you install the latest drivers for your graphics card, Sound card and your motherboard before you install SP1 . SP1 and then install all the other windows updates that need to be installed that came after SP1 was released. Download Windows Vista Service Pack 1 from here, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en .

Well did you try downloading and installing the System Update Readiness Tool that was in the Microsoft KB article that you linked to? The error code says that an installed application has interfered with the installation of SP1 . Try going into add/remove programs in Control Panel and uninstall any programs that you don't use. Make sure that you also shut down all backround programs that are running in the system tray down by the clock in the taskbar. Also follow all the instructions that were in the KB article that you linked to.

So last night I tried to manually download and install the patches...no luck.SP1 ..again no luck (I followed the documented instructions on the link).SP1 (This was not there before), and this is the only update in the queue. I manually initiated the install, but it failed. I set the auto time to apply at 10am, and I will check on progress when I get home tonight.

Try this:Open a command prompt: type cmd in the Start Search box, right-click cmd.exe (shown at the top of the Start menu) and click Run as administrator
Stop Automatic Update Service; type Net stop wuauserv (press Enter ) .
Type rd /S %Windir%\SoftwareDistribution . This will delete the %Windir%\SoftwareDistribution folder. Type Y to confirm.
Type Net start wuauserv (hit Enter ) to start the Automatic Update Service. Close the command prompt.
Force a Windows Update detection and see if that works.
