Hey, anyone have any ideas why SP 2 won't install. It went through the
downloading process, restarted the system, and tried to continue the install,
ran 2 hours with 0 progress. I restarted in safe mode with network support
to try and elliminate the other programs that start up from interfering with
the install. It did run untill it said 100%, then came up with a message
that windows did not update and the system was reverting to the previous
setup! Any ideas would be appreciated!

Hello JJ,

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for
Windows Vista, but only for Service Pack 2 (SP2). This support for Windows
Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2) is valid until February 26, 2010.. Availability of
chat or e-mail support differs depending on your geographic location. For
customers residing in North America, chat and e-mail support is available.

Go to
