    I cannot install kb950762, I have been trying to install vista sp1. After
    following suggestions to install sp1, I discovered that kb950762 had failed to install. Now kb950762 will only install so far and then fail. I have tried to install it from my flashdrive and have used ccleaner to remove any messed up files, but still no luck. Thanks

    Hi and welcome to the BBS,

    I suggest you don't try to "force" the installation. Something is jamming it. If you cannot see any leads to what might be happening (the culprit), I would look at updating whatever drivers and software I could before trying again.

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer and find any driver updates.

    Think about what software might be getting old or not completely compatible and look for updates. It would probably be an important piece of software to affect Windows Updates.

    I would look at why it won't install, not "forcing" to get it installed.

    Matt

    Find error codes associated with the failing update in the WindowsUpdate.log.

    To open this log, go type

    %windir%/WindowsUpdate.log

    In Vista's Start Search box and press OK.

    Post relevant info here.
