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
Well,
Not sure if this will help but I have had problems (as mentioned above) with one of my laptops. No matter what I did SP1 would not install let alone fail configuration.
Eventually I gave up and re-installed windows completely (no in-place upgrade) and before I installed the antivirus or anything else I tried again, Installed first time.
Now I did read on other forums that the main issue seems to be with AMD processors - My laptop with an Intel processor installed with little fuss but the one I had problems with has an AMD processor.
May be people would like to post if the problem installs are with AMD processors?
I cannot believe the time I have wasted with the install, you would think that updates would be properly tested - I know that there will be instances where an update goes pear shape but to post a solution that tells you to restore all your settings back to day one is incredible!
I would expect an in-place upgrade or complete re-installation to be the last resort not one of the first fixes.
If anyone knows when SP2 is coming out please let me know so that I can book time off work.
Its ridiculous the problems associated with this service pack. I have never had any issue ever. I have given up until the morons can fix the problem. It has to be a problem with the service pack itself. There are too many people having trouble for it to be on the users end. All 3 of my computers are AMD and it installed on one of mine just fine. The other two not at all.
Why doesn't Microsoft take these problems seriously and provide us with a solution?????
Mine has an Intel processor, same problem. It seems to occur mainly in x64 systems though.
They need to fix this. I now have two computers i can't install this months updates on because i can't get sp1 installed.
