Re: windows vista sp1 can't install
1) "Start > Control Panel >System and Maintenance>Administrative Tools
Double-click Services
Right-click the Windows Update service and select Properties.
Select General tab - make sure that Startup type is Automatic
Next to Service status, check to see if the service is started. If it is not, Start.
2)one more possibility: "Windows modules installer" service is disabled.
Log on as an Administrator -
Start button > Control Panel>System and Maintenance>Administrative Tools
Double-click Services
Right-click the "Windows Modules Installer" service, and select Properties.
Select General tab - make sure that Startup type is Manual."
