64 bit sp2 breaks most subsequent updates
I've been using the windows update tool to manually keep security and bug
patches current on my laptop but every time (tried four times over several months) I install sp2 it breaks most subsequent updates. After installing sp2 most of the subsequent updates fail with a nondescript error code that suggests corruption in system files when I try to install them. I use the system restore to go back to the point before sp2 is installed and everything is OK again. It passes the KB947821 update readiness tool without reporting any problems. Installation of sp2 itself never reports any errors. it's only subsequent updates that fail. hardwa Gateway P-78 64bit laptop OS: vista home premium 64 bit version supplemental softwa visual studio professional 2005 (with 64 bit updates) directX sdk (august 2009) ffdshow msoffice 97 professional .net framework 1.0 sp3 developer .net framework 2.0 (32 and 64 bit versions) .net framework 3.5 sp1 java 6 update 17 nvidia opengl sdk 10 nvidia Cg toolkit may 2008 updates and patches: I'd post the list if there was a way to actually cut and paste the list. First question: Why does sp2 cause updates to break? Second question: How to fix it without wiping the system disk and restoring to delivered condition? (use restore disks and start over seems to be a too common suggestion in problems of windows corruption) Suggestions?
