SP1 help needed

After spending countless hours on the phone with MS techs, I still am unable
to install the Stand Alone SP1. Since SP1 would not download from the Update
site (which it did appear on), I was told to download the Stand Alone and
save to my desktop. It downloaded after a little over an hour, but every
time it loads half way through the first stage, says there is an Internal
Error (Code 800B0100). There is a page to go to for instructions and I have
run the checkdisk, scannow, and memory diagnostic tool several times to no
avail. Today the tech tried to install it in Safe Mode with everything
disabled - still no install past the same spot and it's the same code. He
said he has to consult with others and will call again tomorrow. After four
days of calls, etc. I am very frustrated. Do any of you have any ideas as to
why the download will not install? All ideas appreciated!

Are you running some online app like Messenger when you try this?

No. The tech disabled everything - including the two gadgets. All programs
were disables and everything MS as well. Printer was disconnected, etc. This
is the first time I have had a problem with Updates requiring more than one
re-try. I do not have a Vista cd - the os came with the HP desktop
computer. It's d4790y with Home Premium, 2 gigs, etc.

No - this has never been mentioned, but I see, checking my Update history,
that this was successfully installed on my computer.

Ryka,

The only thing that comes to mind is either a hardware or driver
conflict that sounds like it couldn't be found by Microsoft. If they
don't know what it is, I'm not sure I can do much better. Maybe post
your hardware specs and we can see if there's something that stands out.
Input from our member community on this one will be welcome.

Yep, as TaurArian suggests, you probably have a dead system clock battery,
or some other file date problem.

What is a dead system clock battery???? How would I know if I have the
problem? How do I resolve the problem? Shouldn't checkdisk or scannow show
these problems?

Well, the time would be wrong on startup. It looks like you may
alternatively have some problem with authentication of your system.
Open Control Panel/System, and scroll down to see if it shows as 'Windows is
activated' or not.
