Exact same problem as JDSX (above).

Isn't it about time for MS to admit Vista is a failure.

It's just tragically comical now. Not only can't I install SP1 but when I run the standalone installer for that "fixed" prerequisite patch KB937287 it tells me "The update does not apply to your system."

I don't have any outstanding updates showing via Windows update either.

Somebody PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me. I haven't been able to get the update and I'm guessing it's because of this Install loop I'm caught in. Everytime I boot my pc it tells me to install kb947821. I install it, it shows as being installed, then next time I reboot it comes up again. I called the PC Safety #, but they wanted to charge me to talk to someone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey Nick...re:KB948343 - just the sort of info that I believe people are really looking for. Definitely a step in the right direction because it makes the consumer more confident when they know what drivers are causing the issues.

I don't think anyone can expect perfection but sometimes these sorts of issues reek of bad/insufficient testing, but in this case it is much appreciated when constructive info is disclosed!

I've uninstalled Vista because of SP1 (official) update. I'm back on WinXP SP2 without any issues and waiting for SP3 for WinXP.

Prior to SP1, Vista was working -- about 10-20% slower than XP, but it was for the most part working with only a few DX9 games that had problems (usually on exit I'd get the "Stopped Responding" dialog).

After the SP1 install, every single DX9 game title would either CTD or BSOD with a memory dump. The only variable in the equation was the installation of SP1.

On WinXP, none of these titles have any problems at all, run flawlessly for days.

I'm not sure what SP1 was supposed to do, but it has only made matters worse not better. As it stands right now, I can't recommend Vista (any version) to anyone and it is certainly NOT ready for prime time corporate release.

After reading about many other user experiences with official SP1, I guess I should feel lucky I didn't have to wipe my system and reformat my drive like others had to do to get out of the endless reboot cycle.

Seriously guys (espeically Mr. Ballmer), think it is time you start from scratch, dump the backwards compatibility (you have that with dual boot), and produce an OS that the human race can live with rather than fight with in frustration.

And finally, please please please revisit security -- these UAC prompts are seriously OUT OF CONTROL. Security is not the burden of the user. If you want folks to by your OS, then you need to accept this and make an OS for the human race.

After the Patch Tuesday updates, I'm afflicted with the dreaded:

"Windows could not connect to the System Event Notification

Service service. This problem prevents limited users from logging on to the

system. As an administrative user, you can review the System Event Log for

details about why the service didn't respond."

I have been having issues updating vista, so much so that after each update I get a blue screen saying "there is an software problem and Windows shut down to protect your computer" or something to that effect. I believed I was trying to update to many things at once, so I rolled back the pc to the beginning of the month and then chose to update only one update at a time, only to have the same problem. I finally had half of the updates loaded despited have to hard boot the compter several times, but after all the updates where done, the computer would stay alive for about 10 minutes and then shut off in order to "protect your computer from harm." I tried to rollback agian but the system would simply reboot over and over. I have finally given up trying to update Vista myself and taken it to a service tech for $80 and hour. Once this pc is up and running I will revert back to Windows XP and relagate this machine as a toy.

I went out and bought a MAC desktop and plan to become a hard MAC fan and use Windows only for some web browsing and maybe play a game once and a while. Good luck Windows.

Recent update installation problems!

I have only been able to install KB938371 on my wife's Vista Ultimate desktop computer after uninstalling the Comodo firewall and disabling all non-Microsoft services and all startup items. I tried this on my Vista Ultimate computer and it still won't install. I tried installing it from the standalone installer and it gives me a popup that says "The update does not apply to your system." Windows Update originally downloaded it last month and then when it was getting ready to install it, I got the same message and it never offered it again. Come on guys. I am having to jump through hoops just to install prerequisites for Vista SP1 and one or two other recent updates. KB942763 and KB937287 wouldn't install until I uninstalled my firewall and disabled all non-Microsoft services and all startup items. Updates shouldn't be this hard to install. My wife and I both run Vista Ultimate machines that are configures exactly the same. Her laptop that is running Vista Business has also had problems with these KB942763, KB937287 and KB938371 updates.
