Windows Update is trying to install the SP1 Service Pack on my PC several
times now. I get an error "Service Pack did not install. Reverting
changes". Under the Problem Reports and Solutions program, it states the
problem is due to possible driver issues. I can not find any driver issues.
My questions are;

1. Has Windows Update collected all the information it needs in order to
correct this service pack installation problem at some point in the future?

2. Do I need to take any action?

I had 1 of the "problem" drivers(SigmaTel) which I uninstalled.After the hour
install time,my result was the same as yours.I am now in the process of going
thru Help & Support.Face It - We were all conned by Microsoft into believing
this CRAP O.S. was good.

over 2 days-They must be on vacation.I might have to go to phone support.

Update:I finally got SP1 installed.After 2 weeks of tech support
e-mailing,the culprit was McAffee Security Suite.I uninstalled it and the
update went smoothly!
