Hey all, i think i'm kickin a dead horse here but i'm unable to get or update SP1 & 2 on my PC.
here's my specs:
OS=Vista
Hp Pavilion 1730
AMD 4600+ dualcore 64x2
2 gigs 5300 memory
Geforce 9600GT Video card (512memory)
500 watt PS
i bought this PC 3 years ago with Vista on it. I thought i was getting all the updates i needed from HP. i guess not.
When i go to windows updates, it looks for a minute then comes up with the 80080005 error. the no updates error. ok, so i got a hold of the HP people and they gave me links to do everything to make my horse come alive--AND jump through hoops. it ain't happenin.
i just did sfc /scannow for the tenth time today in CMD (under "run as admin" of course) and i get the error: Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service. So i go in and make sure it's set on manual, and it is.
i copied the SP1 and SP2 to mydesktop and tried to run them. after a while they stop with the error: the connection with the server was reset.
i tried the Fixit module from Microsoft.....
HELP!! my foot is sore from kickin this dead horse....
i need to add some applications and a game for my son. especially Battlefield. it gives me the MS visual c++2005 distributable is needed. it will start to load and freezes.
Do i re-load Vista or is there a fix? thanks BR
