Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008SP1 Not Offered Question
I have tried to install SP1 both by going to the update site and downloading. It is not offered at the update site to me. I keep failing when running the download. The error is "corrupt data" I believe. Anyway my question is, would having changed the motherboard since I activated Vista cause this kind of problem?? I know the activation is tied to a combination of the hardware and the product id. I had totally forgotten I had changed the motherboard due to a problem I thought the old MB was causing. Thanks in advance for any input on this. Jon > I have tried to install SP1 both by going to the update site and > downloading. It is not offered at the update site to me.

Hi Gordon, I am sorry I am not at home where the PC is that is having the problem. I did a search and found "0x8007000D ERROR_INVALID_DATA " which is the error it would error out on. Thanks for you interest. Jon > > I have tried to install SP1 both by going to the update site and downloading. > > It is not offered at the update site to me.

After installing SP3 on my XP computer with no problems,I thought I'd tackle Vista sp1 (OMG!)What a friggin nightmare.First I couldn't find it in updates.Oh,that's right,I had 1 of the problem drivers(SigmaTel).After uninstalling it,walla,SP1 magically appears in updates.After going thru the hour long update,It informs me SP1 not installed will undo update(which took another 15 minutes).Going to MS Help&Support,they recommend stopping all startup programs,etc.,I try once again.Same thing!Do you have to be a computer scientist to install this?It's amazing-XP SP1-3,NO PROBLEMS, Vista SP1 BIG PROBLEMS! I can't wait for their next operating-Windows BC(before computers) I should have bought a Mac! > Hi Gordon, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > > > Don't "believe" it, post the entire error. spjr2, Sorry to hear of your tribulations. To be honest I don't really have any isssues with Vista itself just thought I should get the SP1 installed for GP's. I am strating to think that perhaps because I replaced my motherboard and I think also the video card I changed the hardware profile enough which is part of the activation process. No one is confirming this but I can't see any other reason. Best of luck to you. Jon > Vista once again proves it is CRAP!

The mysteries of computers! I checked my Vista properties once I got home yesterday to verify if Vista was still activated or not. It is and I got a "update available" message. I checked to see what update it is and it was an update to Silverlight. I installed it then another update message popped up. I check again and now Service Pack 1 is available and highly encouraged! I allowed install and crossed my fingers. It went in and is installed. Why I went through all the problems before I don't know but it is now working. Hmmm, guess Microsoft or Vista or whoever isn't really as evil as some believe. :) Best of luck to everyone still fighting this fight.
