Message says Failure Configuring Service Pack 1 Reverting changes......

[JrJerry]

Hello

           I am having an issue booting in my computer.  Serval months ago I had an unresolved issue installing service pack 1.  I tried installing service pack 1 by windows udate which failed and then  going to microsoft and downloaded service pack 1 which aslo failed.   Having tried  this several times.   For the last few months when I turn on the computer I get a message saying Failure configuring Service pack 1 Reverting changes.   The computer restatrs and then reads preparing to configure windows.   This happens on and off  for about 45 minutes until I can get to desktop.  

          To make a long story short perhaps I can  try to  change a part in the tower or other wise inside the computer to resolve this issue.     Thank you.

@JrJerry, welcome back to the forum.

I suggest that you save all of your personal data and do a full System Recovery.  This will take the computer back to its original configuration.  There is a possibility that some of the drivers could be causing problems.  Also, I am not certain what you can do to eliminate the problem caused by trying to update to SP 1.

Here is a guide from Microsoft that may help you solve your problem.

hello 

          For some odd reason when I  turned the  computer on  today it started right up without it hanging for 45 minites.   I shut down the computer and turned it on again 8 times and all 8 times it started.   I am leaving it alone for now but if it happens again I'll take your advice.   Sorry for any inconviniences.

Thank you for the additional information, @JrJerry!  I am glad that whatever was wrong is now right.  It is good when a member fixes the problem.
