Problem solved. Failure Configuring Updates

[[YDEK] fi$hy k!tty]

Okay, so I've had WIndows XP for a while in February, and I've tried installing Windows 7, with SP1 included from some torrent Rue got me from some place I shall not name.

I can manage to install it fairly decently, but afterwards, I have to restart my computer to configure the updates, and whenever I do, it loads all the way to 100%, and then I get the message "Failure to configure updates; Reverting changes" and I'm pretty much stuck unless I roll back the installation and do it all over again @_@

Apparently, I'm not supposed to allow the security update KB-971033 to install, but that's not even in my list of updates. Any ideas? Get a new copy of W7 and reinstall?

Help meh, I just wanna use my desktop :c

[Ruelel]

did you follow the instructions for it that some dude commented

thank you so much! you have made my life sooooooo much better! I cant believe that this actually is genuine, all I done was: 1)download the files 2) extract the ISO ( using winrar) 3)copied "w7xle" on to a portable hard drive 4) installed windows 7 ultimate 5) when it asked for a key at the end of the installation i egnored and unchecked the online key thingy 6) then when it loaded up my new updated computer, i went into system and found that there was only a 30 day trial.... 7) so i put in my portable hard drive and opened up w7xle and then i clicked activate certificate 8) and then once that was done i simply went back into system and it said windows is successfully activated! hope this helps to anyone unsure on how to install :)

 

[Questionable Moose]

If you could, link me to the torrent you used.

I don't think that's from the same thing.... I'm looking through the comments right now and I don't see that. Not to mention there's no w7xle in what I have.

How hard is it to google it up and get the fix from MS KB directly?

Not to be rude, but I don't have Windows Vista :/

Windows 7 IS Windows Vista.
Win7 is, basically, significantly enhanced Vista.

People need to read moar.

 

[KillerZebra]

Yeah in case you guys don't know. Windows Vista drivers work on Windows 7. As psycho pointed out, it is pretty much the same.

Well, this is going to be what I'm going to try; if it doesn't work out, I'll do what Moose suggested.
Didn't know Vista and W7 were similar @_@ but thanks in advance for your help Psycho! c:

Just don't update Windows?

Yeah, I was thinking of never restarting my computer or installing any new programs or updating my drivers.

Half my game library is PC only @_@

Why couldn't you restart it? Just disable updates.

 

[Shula]

Pretty sure you have to to the manual install updates - kb2454826, kb2534366 and kb253352 prior to installing Sp1 to get rid of that and have it install correctly.

I guess I have to restart to apply the ones that are already there?
