#21
I have tried all of the idea's presented here but I still cannot get the SP1 to update. Persistent error is: 0x80004005 unspecified.
This HP-G60 laptop was Vista and converted to W7 a little over a year ago, and YES, I had used the WinMail hack and used the Registry edits to remove this as stated above; also replaced the original mail dll. There hasn't been any issues with other updates until KB976932 (32 bit Intel).
To make matters somewhat worse, the W7 Restore DVD's seem to have been misplaced, but I do have the "Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Media" dvd.
The questions that I have are:
1) If I leave this w/o SP1, will I still be able to use most other updates, especially Security?
2) Can I use the "Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Media" to restore the system and leave all other files intact? (have backed up all of the data stuff, but applications exist)
3) Since I have the SP1 file, can this be used to slipstream a reload for #2?
Thanks for all the postings.
