Win 7 SP1 gets dated?

Grummkol · 24 Feb 2011 at 22:43

Wouldn't install, told me components were missing. Installed the system readiness thing, told me to use the system disk. System disk said the following.

To upgrade Windows, the Users, Program Files, and Windows directories need to be on the same partition. Upgrading when these directories are not on the same partition is not supported. Moving these directories so that they are on the same partition is also not supported. You can choose to install a new copy of Windows 7 Professional instead, but this is different from an upgrade, and does not keep your files, settings, and programs. You’ll need to reinstall any programs using the original installation discs or files. To save your files before installing Windows, back them up to an external location such as a CD, DVD, or external hard drive. To install a new copy of Windows 7 Professional, click the Back button in the upper left-hand corner, and select “Custom (advanced)”.

Bugger.

Been updating our household computers today, seem to work fine.

Hmm, went for it and also installed no problems

I guess Driver Sweeper version 2.1.0 is the way to go

Hi all,

I've not read the thread at all so sorry for repost if anyone has this issue

I'm having issues with detecting IP address from the router since ive updated to SP1 - Win7 64bit it just loops round and around and doesn't kick in. So i have to reboot the router and then 2min later it finds an IP. Sometimes I do this and 10min to an hr later it drops again..

Shall i just roll back?

dont know if this has already been posted, sorry if so. i got update from windows update (win 7 63bit) it downloads, installs, restart and when on windows logo it just restarts, try again, restarts, had to do system restore. is this a known problem, can i get around it?

Patched my Termsrnd dll file to allow concurrent RDP and all is well now. Strange bug though randomly on RDP sessions I get a black screen when logging on....Investigation required!

I think it's trying to initiate RemoteFX over the web instead of only using it over the LAN....hmmm.

The people that has issues I recon the best possible solution is a clean install unless the bugs or problems still exist then it's a problem with SP1, which will have to be emailed to Microsoft for fix.

You need to install the SP1 readiness utility first.

They haven't put back the feature to drag files in any order in a folder then

I liked that in Vista.

I know i've said this a few times in this thread but, have you ever used Driver Sweeper? I'm sure that the same code i got.

^^ Possible fix if so.

Is it worth downloading this update? i mean my machine is running like a dream at the mo and i dont want to ruin it by installing the service pack, i suppose i could create an image with macrium before i install it and it i find i dont like it i could re-load the image

Hows everyone else finding it?

redrooster303 · 26 Feb 2011 at 06:23

I've not even noticed a difference since putting it on.

hyperst · 26 Feb 2011 at 07:51

I tried updating, got an error 0x800f0a12 and it failed to install, a little googling brought a solution from ms, did the solution and upon restarting computer it BSOD on me lol, another restart and tried the update again and it worked, maybe something to do with the ssd in my system as i know i turned some stuff off and moved some stuff to save space

Installed SP1 x64 via Windows Update just now and it did so painlessly. No issues. Quite relieved!!. :cool:

jimbobaggies · 26 Feb 2011 at 09:24

Installed SP1 on both my home desktops Wednesday via windows update, one 64-bit and one 32-bit, no problems at all... IT department have said I'm not allowed to install it on my work laptop though.

slipd · 26 Feb 2011 at 13:46

Right, I've tried 3 times now to install this; I get as far as it telling me its time to restart/shutdown and it goes through an installation percentage until it finishes and displays a 'shutting down' screen...

I have left it for as long as 3 hours and there's been no movement! I resort to manually powering off and then letting it go through the uninstalling procedure which puts my machine back to its previous state

Any ideas? I've followed the recommended microsoft instructions but I still don't have any success.

Clean install by the looks of it.
