Vista SP2 Beta error code 0xc004f013 Cartel <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> 12/8/2008 11:12:52 PM I get the SP to install at Stage 3 100% then it says failed, reverting changes. I tried no pagfefile, disabling soundcard, unplugging all USB items, disable system restore, uninstall kb941649, disabled all non-M$ services and all start-up items, via MSCONFIG and rebooted first. Haven't found a fix yet. -- Cartel *ASUS A8V 2.0-Deluxe 1018.002 AMD FX-60 OCZ PC3200 EL Platinum Edition 2GB **2-3-2-9-1T[ at ]400DDR** Dual Channel Enabled Sapphire HD3850 512GDDR3 AGP SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 SB0100 Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 **ADSL 6Mbps APC Back UPS 900VA 'CPU validated ' (http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=330911)** 'GPU validated ' (http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/4avvu/)*

Harper [MVP]" <rgharper[ at ]email.com> 12/8/2008 11:48:28 PM "Beta" does not mean "better" it means, "Test version of software, may not work on all systems, may not work at all on some systems, may not be uninstallable, may require a reformat and reinstall to remove." IOW, wait for the release version. :-) -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Desktop] rgharper[ at ]gmail.com * NEW!

If so and SP2 failed to install, restart and bring up windows update: check for updates you should see: KB947821: System Update Readiness Tool Vista Install it It will take some time and pause at 60%, do not close, it is still working to fix and update, it may take as long as 45 minutes If you do not see this update go here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 "Cartel" <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> wrote in message news:d2e8fbe160f6c33de1d2aa175ace1cc2[ at ]nntp-gateway.com...
