That suggests you're not necessarily up to date; I'd make sure all recommended (and optional unless you REALLY don't want them) updates are applied first. And don't forget hardware-related ones too which are often categorized as optional.

I suggest having a read here first http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff817622%28WS.10%29.aspx
Download is here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/gg635126.aspx but if you are on Value I suggest doing it overnight

I have given up on Windows 7 Service Pack because it will NOT configure on my laptop (Samsung 32-bit). I first started trying to install it in May, then again in June, and again in August, and again and again - and every time the same thing happens. The SP downloads. Tick. It installs (it says). Tick. Then it has to configure in order to 'take' on the system. It usually gets to about 8% and then sticks; once it got to 30% (Wow!). But never ever more than that. I have disabled Rapport and tried again, to no effect, so have re-enabled Rapport; the same with my anti-virus (Avast Home Edition) but it does not make the slightest difference. Have browsed the MS support forums and found that there are others out there - lots of others - that have also encountered this problem. The wretched SP just will not 'take'.
Having wasted many many hours on this over the last few months, I have decided to give up on the SP. My system seems to be working well, all other programs are up-to-date, and I have all the other Windows updates - none of which has caused any problems. It's just this Service Pack... :'(.
Each time I have tried to get this SP, it has had to download itself again - so where does it go?
I use the Firefox browser, but have the latest IE on my system.
Are there any solutions to this problem, apart from forgetting about the SP?!
Thank you

At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.
