Is Spybot Tea Timer enabled?
Is Ad-Aware's Guard service running in the background when you attempt to
install SP1?
What "blue screen" (BSOD) errors are you getting? I would STRONGLY
recommend get those issues resolved before attempting to installed SP1
again.
=> Please begin a new thread in the appropriate Vista-specific newsgroup
about the BSODs.
=========================
Unlimited installation and compatibility support for Vista SP1 is available
at no charge through 18 Mar-09
