    Vista Service Pack 2

    My daughters dell laptop model FKG534J is trying to install vista service pack 2

    It installed, told me to reboot, did 3 stages of installation, shutdown, restarted and ran a set of command line instructions, it reached;
    !! 0xc0190036 !! 984/45781 (qmgr.dll)

    eventually i gave up, hit the off button. on restart it got to the same stage and stopped again

    Is it Vista 32 bit or 64 bit?

    Did you try a system restore to a previous point?

    Did you download the SP2 installer or did you use Windows Updates?

    I always do a local install for service packs.

    I do like Midknyte and burn them to a cd and install from that.

    That way, whenever I have to re-install, I have the SP's already on hand.

    "have another pc that can burn the disk"

    Might be the best way to handle things right now.

    Then try a over install of the problems you have now.

    Then there is Start up repair.

    downloaded from the link

    got a *.iso and *.iso.part files

    spent ages trying to combine these to make one iso, download 3 different programs trying this

    then decided that 'part' may just have a few files missing, so burnt the .iso one to disk

    when i booted from it i got 'failed to boot' message

    any suggestions......please

    You don't need to download the .iso version. You can get the regular executable. The link is on the same page.

    Plus the .iso has junk you may not want in it.

    Why would you make a bootable cd? If anything, you could slipstream the service pack onto a Vista SP1 DVD. Unlike other SPs, the Vista SPs are NOT cumulative.
