Windows 7 Sp1 Warning...
Moderator: Claw
It just duffed up my desktop...
If Microsoft could blow raspberries with text, they would look exactly like this:
Fatal error C0000034 applying update operation 233 of 70194 (_00000...)
I'm dual booting with Ubuntu, so I haven't lost anything, it's just the bind of having to reinstall.
Anyone else up for a round of Russian Roulette with Microsoft? Let us know how you fare... if you dare...

Just be a nutter... life becomes much more exciting, and people won't expect anything more of you...

Going to rebuild my works laptop with SP1 integrated and rebuild my PC from Vista to 7.
What AV do you have installed, do you have any firewall software installed?
Usually best to disable them or sometimes uninstall them for a service pack update

Yeah, it's W7 first service pack, I think the XP service packs are up there with the Rocky films.
My Desktop system is really rather plain, I use Avast, the free version and W7's own firewall. A good number of people have had this problem but it seems it's still in it's early days as there is nothing by way of a solution out there. I only use Windows for what I can't do in Ubuntu, and the occasional gaming.
If any want to be ultra sensitive about upgrading to SP1, they may also want to make sure their BIOS is updated, as well as what Madders suggests. This said, because of the diversity of systems out there, I suppose some will go belly-up as did mine.

That's another possibility!Legthigh wrote: I wonder if it has anything to do with you dual booting Ubuntu? Fully acknowledge it shouldn't have any effect on it but you never know?
All fixed now though, I didn't need to reinstall after all. <a href="http://social.technet.microsoft.com/For ... 82682ea8e/" target="_blank">This thread</a> held all the solutions... if you know anyone that suffers this MS Malady, have them look here - it's especially the post by a user named "thiswoot".

If you don't want to bother reinstalling (I do all I can to avoid reinstalls) then try the process I mentioned in my post. It's a lot simpler than it reads... and I say that not suggesting something would be too complicated for you, but in the sense that, personally I really like to avoid big lists of instructions.Clingy wrote: It's screwed one of my older PCs
