Service Pack 2?

[Lendav]

I've tried five times to install SP2, but still get the error message
"Service Pack did not install. Reverting changes. Do not turn off your
computer." I've tried to install SP 2 with the downloaded package in
addition to Windows Update and also downloaded the cleanup tool. I've
disabled my Norton antivirus program and still SP2 will not install. I
already have SP1 installed on my HP Pavillion 32 bit OS with Windows Vista
Home Premium. Do I really need to install SP2? Thanks in advance for your
answers.

Need? No.

Have you tried SFC /SCANNOW?
