    Hi

    i tried to install sp1 on a pc with windows 7 32bit legit

    but i get this message

    it's a google tranlate

    I used the internal update module to download the sp1 for windows 7 32bit

    it downlaoded and installed
    after the reboot , it tried to configure the sp1 , but stopped with an error can't configure...

    after i download the sp1 500mb , and tried to install it
    same issue , reboot , installing , tring to configure ,stop



    does Windows 7 some service(maybe i stopped) or some feature to install the service pack?


    thanks
    cheers

    disable any security software while you install sp1

    Better still uninstall all security software, disable all third party auto-starting apps, run check disk and disk cleanup.

    no need to uninstall any security software if you can disable it. make sure you machine is patched via WU as it will check and install any prerequisite patches

    I would download and install Windows 7 SP1 using the standalone installer. In my opinion, using the standalone installer is more reliable than using Windows Update.

    i did
    but it needs a reboot and the av is enabled again

    but is there a requirement enabled? system restore (i turned off) or other service
    because the error was can configure the sp1 during the installation

    Well I recently reinstalled Win 7 x64 and had the SP1 Standalone Installer on my Back-up drive and it installed with no problems then I went Windows Update to install any other updates there was! If you have to can you do a clean install?

    There is a chance of Malware messing with the SP1 update. Have you ran scans with several Anti-Malware scanners?

    I would scan with one or more of the following Antivirus Rescue CD's:

    1. AVIRA Rescue System
    2. Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10

    Scan with one or more of the following:

    1. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
    2. SuperAntiSpyware Portable
    3. Dr.Web Cureit

    sfc /scannow


    it failed , it told me some files could not be recovered

    the service pack nane is
    windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe and send to this page http://windows.microsoft.com/it-IT/windows7/troubleshoot-problems-installing-service-pack

    If that can't fix it, and you have no backups, then a clean install is the only way.

    Yes it should. I think it's better if you boot from the DVD, and run sfc from there.
