A few days ago i noticed an update for Windows 7 Service Pack 1. I tried to install it today, it worked fine right up to the moment it asks to reboot the computer. Then after rebooting it starts up as normal update procedure however as it gets to 99% on Configuring Service Pack, it fails and I am left stuck at "Failure Configuring Service Pack, reverting changes. Please do not turn off your computer" for over 10 minutes then shuts down. Then on Bootup i notice nothing has changed and the same thing repeats. Please Help

Ok guys after weeks of not replying back after i forgot bout this question, i have managed to get it working, but that was a few months after my laptop broke in which i had to reset to factory settings, which reset all the system updates done to the laptop, then when i tried installing IE 9 and Windows 7 service pack 1 they both succeeded without issues. Guess the whole problem the entire time was a faulty update
The same thing keeps happening with me, but it does not start at all. After about 10 seconds it says failed, and the computer never shuts it's self down, I have to manually turn it off. HELP.
Thanks, SI.
Guess what, it's now June and it's still not solved. Somebody at MS is taking the mick?
I completely agree with you, Wim.
I don't have the network infrastructure or the time to re-install W7 from the original disc. This should not be forced onto people.
If an upgrade is being released, it needs to be compatible with multiple setups and processors. If people run into such issues, Microdoft needs to release a new version of the SP which addresses these issues. All those self-made, stabbing in the dark solutions are causing further problems and potential risks.
Unbelievable!
After posting the previous message, I found that when I tried to display the Event Viewer, it came up and said that it may not have been installed properly! At that point I decided to call Microsoft support.
I just got off the phone with Microsoft. They wanted me to pay for a new support session since I could now boot my computer and the original problem was fixed. They said my warranty on my Windows 7 had expired. Actually, Microsoft Support hung up on me while they were in the process of giving me a new case number, as I explained again that this was still an update issue with SP1.
