Service Pack 1 error code on install

[coop1]

Hello, I upgraded my computer from Vista to Windows Home Premium 32Bit with no problems that I could detect. Windows Update offers me the SP-1 Upgrade but it fails to install. I receive an Error Code: 80073701.

Based upon its spec's, although the upgrade to Windows 7 went without a hitch, could this computer be too underpowered for SP-1 to install? I've tried a half dozen times, even getting the download separately. Thanks for any help or info.

Did you run the system update 'readyness' tool? Description of the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista, for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7, and for Windows Server 2008 R2

I did run the tool to check if the computer would run Windows 7, the results were just above boderline. However that was for installing Windows 7. I had no problem with the Win 7, upgrade/install. Why would it baulk at installing SP-1? As stated in my specs the WEI score for this computer is 2.8.

Processor: 4.3
Memory: 4.5
