This is supposed to be helpful end user advice not complex advice designed for techs only. Are they expecting everyone to pay $300 for a tech who can understand the so called help being offerred on top of the cost of VISTA? Anyway, its about time Microsoft got off there zillion dollar horse and did something usefull like fix vista for the poor thousands that paid for it and are stuck with it! I can only presume they are hoping all the suckers (ie me) that paid hard earned cash for vista will just fork out another $650 for Windows 7, hoping and praying we dont get ripped AGAIN! -Disgusted End User I can’t get sp2 vista x86 to install

Why create something that doesn’t work. This just shows how unreliable Microsoft is. I agree with the above posts get a Mac! oh and to Microsoft who think they can keep me quiet by deleting posts just try I will keep trying untill this update is installed. I know its not me as I have seen a number of cases where posts have been deleted when they start talking about how unreliable your software is. The quick release of win 7 shows that Vista is to much of a problem to sort out. I will post on all forums and get group organised on Facebook, Twitter and Bebo. By the way don’t try the above it is a waste of time, some tec guy doesn’t fully understand the problem! once again my problem is: Service pack 2 downloads starts installing, reboots, gets to stage 3 of 3 100% then failed to install reverting changes. Does anyone have a solution for this because microsoft doesn’t have a clue. The only suitable options I can consider is hide the update or better still get a reliable better looking MAC.

I tried the standalone updater, the Fix-It updater etc., w/o luck. I tried to install SP2 and no luck either. I have tried all of the above fixes and have inserted my Vista Ultimate disk and tried to run an upgrade. I get all the way until the end (3 hours later) and it says unable to configure Vista and it then rollsback. I have tried the System Readiness Tool, tried selective startup. I wasn't able to find "vLite" but I did find "dmvLite". Should I delete that registry entry? Any help is really appreciated. Thank you! Windows update quit working.

Tried all the above and nothing - I'm am just hiding the update after I had to completely reinstall everything. Took hours. Vista is Sh*t, and from what I have heard Windows 7 isn't that much reliable. Think more people need to stand up to MS. Change to a MAC- Faster, more reliable and they look nice. This isn't there first mistake - take the Xbox 360 which all go into meltdown after a year and they don't know why? Stupid. As soon as my Xbox goes I’m getting a PS3 and I should imagine the Xbox 720 will be just as unreliable. I hope Micrsoft will reply to this and help me sort out my problem as I’ve been trying to contact them for months now. I will let you all know. what a load of rubbish – I will not buy another MS operating system – you are better with a MAC.
