OS: vista home premium (no sp1)


can't install sp 1

I've been in touch with MS for about 2 weeks regarding vista sp1 . I am unable to install it , I have tried disabling all virus and spyware protection , and running it in safe mode but to no avail .

I am clean of all malware , thanks to the excellent Ried .

I get an error code "0x800F081F" every time I try and install it.

I have an advent 8315 laptop , running vista home premium .

One problem I've had is the system file checker will only run to 5% then stops functioning , but other than that , no problems with the comp .


(sorry forgot to mention that when I restart vista I get a boot screen with options of "windows vista " which is a crashed startup and "windows vista recovered " which is the one that works )

Any help very greatfully received
