How far did I get?
I thought that the installation was complete.
I got the message "Welcome to Windows Vista SP2"
I accepted the license terms.
I got the message "preparing your computer"
Next message--------"Installation was not successful"

Thank you for replying. I am afraid that it didn't work for me. I did what you advised and the only update available was the SP2. The readiness tool
did not appear so it did not do what I expected.
I attempted to update with the Sp2 but I got exactly the same result as before. Where do you think I went wrong?
