All

I undertook implementing SP1 last night. Wow that was very unproductive. My laptop took 3 hours to apply the Service pack. But it is working a lot better. The typing is much smoother and everything seems to be much faster so that is good

My tablet well that is another story After 3 hours  it crashed pretty hard. Kept restarting, So I was finally able to boot to safe mode. Once in safe mode it started the Installing Service pack:Stage 3 of 3 I am at 56% now that is 2 hours after I booted it to safe mode.

Finally finished with the SP1 Update Wow what an undertaking. I started on my dell and it worked fine but took for ever. Since it worked and seem to improve things I moved on to my tablet a Motion Computing LS800 that I had upgraded to Vista a couple of months back. I started the update off and it began working just fine. however when it hit stage 2 it failed. Blue screened and then locked up when it tried to reboot itself.

So I rebooted and put it in safe mode then the tablet said it was finishing updates stage 3 of 3 so that went on for about 2 more hours. it finally hit 100% and I thought great it made it through it any way. Low and be hold no.

When it rebooted it came back and Said Vista SP1 Failed and was returning to previous state. So here I go now I want to know what is causing the problem and how I can fix it. So needless to say I turned off my anti-virus, disabled it, and then removed all of the usb devices and I had a SD memory card in the card reader that has not functioned since upgrading to Vista (motion has not released a new bio’s and they have known about the problem for at least a year)

then i ran through the Vista SP1 install again. It did blue screen in between stage 2 and stage 3 but this time in completed and said finished with out error. Most things seem to work until I plug in thee SD card in the bad slot. That causes an immediate blue screen.

So My theory is DO NOT LEAVE THE MEMORY CARD IN PLACE
