I have tried to install Service Pack 1 numerous times and it always fails. It gets to the successfully installed stage OK but then fails on restarting. Last time I got the message ' Some changes could not be completed. Reverting changes. Will retry on startup'. Can anyone help?

Hi
If the service pack you downloaded does not work you'll have to download all language version contrary to 5 language version which didn't work in ma case also.

When the above case does not resolve ur issue then Update Readiness Tool is the way to tha solution.
Gud luck pal

Temporarily disable any anti-virus you have installed and anything else that incorporates any kind of file protection. That is often the cause of this failure. Once done with SP1, you must then install service pack 2 otherwise your system wont be supported for security updates.

There is a support forum here: Windows Vista Service Packs/Windows Server 2008 Service Packs Forum

There is also help available from Microsoft free of charge:
