cannot install vista sp1

Hello friends,
I've a windows vista x86 os installed on my system (4GB RAM). The problem
is that when trying to install vista service pack 1 on or off-line
instalations, the system stays for many many hours in an indefinite loop or
eventually crashing but never finishing installation. I can get no other
windows updates except for the windows defender ones. Can anybody, please
help me with this problem?

Thanks in advance,
Pedro

Someone else may come up with a more sophisticated solution, but the
current Service Pack is SP2.
A bit of 'googling' might help, too, and a little more info about your
machine.
