Have you tried rolling back to a previous restore point?

Well first of all, your CPUs running at "100% half of the time" will not
"burn them out", so calm down.

If SP1 won't install, why do you need to uninstall it? What exactly is
the problem. More details, please.

Alias, the self appointed jackass troll of this group, will be along shortly
to NOT help you.

The problem is , this things in my face when i switch off "Configuring
updates do not switch off computer" then when i switch on "Installing sp1 3
of 3 0% " But it's not done it's "Pending" it just goes on and on in a
vicious circle. And dont forget my poor old CPU'S They'll be worn out before
me! CHEERS

SP1 won't install, of course!


If the OP really wants to solve his Vista problem, he will nuke Vista
and install Ubuntu. Ubuntu, a free Open Source operating system without
the hassles of a POS like Vista, can be obtained from http://www.ubuntu.com/

Again, don't worry about the CPUs. They will be fine.

If I was in your situation I would boot my Vista install DVD and do a Repair
Install.

The chat support is horrible. I log on and get connected with an agent, he
receives my first or second message and then it fails. Tried two times.
Whatever chat software they are using, needs to be changed. It's very
frustrating.

Go here, download the full standalone install;
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b0c7136d-5ebb-413b-89c9-cb3d06d12674&DisplayLang=en

Boot into Safe Mode (F8) and start the install from there.

I've used this method on three different Vista machines,
two desktops and one laptop..... it has worked flawlessly.

Ignore the title and use the Methods laid out here:
The update is not installed successfully, you receive a message, and the
computer restarts when you try to install an update in Windows Vista
