Update windows 7 service pack 1

[Silverback]

I have been trying to install the update but it goes all the way through and when I restart it fails and reverts.
I have run troubleshooter and readiness tool and installed the hot fix and tried all the steps recommended to make this work. How do I do it please?:wallbash:

I have even disabled auto update so the fucking thing does not keep popping up and telling me there is an important update.
Well go figure cos it keeps popping up.
I'm just about sick to the teeth with this PC and the problems it keeps dishing up.
But along with my graphics and keyboard mess ups I am going to throw this thing out of the window into the street and give up gaming all together.
Fuck it.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Don't know if you want to try this again.
But they have gone through a few revisions since you probably tried it last. (now v12)

and see if it will allow it to install SP1

Otherwise to prevent it, this might help:
10) Rename the 'Software Distribution folder':
a) Click the Start Button, click 'All programs, and click on 'Accessories'.
b) Next Right click on the 'Command Prompt' option and then click 'Run as administrator'.
c) In the 'Command Prompt' window enter:
net stop Wuauserv and press the 'Enter' key.
d) Next click the Start/Orb button in the taskbar, in the 'Search' box, enter:
%windir% and press the 'Enter' key.
e) In Windows Explore view, search for and locate the folder named "SoftwareDistribution".
f) Right click on the folder and select the 'Rename' option and change the name to: SoftwareDistributionOld
g) Close Windows Explorer and in Command Prompt window enter:
net start Wuauserv and press the 'Enter' key.
h) Wait for the "Windows Update Service has successfully" before exiting/closing the command prompt window.
i) If you open Windows Explorer you should see that new "SoftwareDistribution" folder has been created.Original Source (http://www.pagestart.com/win7sp1steps021611.html)

Or if you want to try this (http://forum.phyxion.net/viewtopic.php?id=17)
as I think this is the reason why you PC won't install SP1
So download this http://phyxion.net/files/DS/ATI_x64.zip and this http://phyxion.net/Driver-Sweeper/Driver-Sweeper/Version-2-9-0/Binaries.html
And I'll try and help you through replacing the files.

I just wonder if they are going to develop further packs for windows 7 or they will work with windows 8 only now.

There will definitely be a Service Pack 2 (believe it's in the Beta Stages)

But mainly Service Packs are just collections of Hotfixes and Patches, with very few extra functions.
So you'll still be able to download updates leading up to 2020 according to the link above.

Which I doubt many will be worried about Windows 7 by then.
