I have done a recent fresh install of Windows 7 64bit Home Prem and went through the process of all the usual updates because I have a fairly early copy of Windows 7.
All updates have taken well with no dramas except for Service pack 1 for x64 - based systems (KB976932) it just downloads, attempts to install then fails. Given it a try a couple of times now and always the same result. Which is weird because it has been installed on this computer before with the last install of Win 7.

Yeah a each time. Basically this update has popped up every day after it has failed.

Just set it to ignore that update.
Mine came up with one, i googled the error and it said that the error was that a later version was already installed.

The service pack is just a collection of earlier updates put into a handy package for anyone that missed them (or to get people that intentionally don't download them to finally update, lol "OOH SERVICE PACK!!!!!!!!! :P)

As Doyl said it is very likely that you already have all the updates that are included in it already or even a newer version of a couple of the files it updates. Does your windows install show up as windows 7 service pack 1 when you look at your computer properties, where your windows experience index rating is (I don't know the name of the screen, lol I just call it my computer properties, since that's how I get to it)

Seems like it has fixed its self somehow, I haven't done anything but it has stopped asking for that update.

Another odd update "issue" I've run into. Technically not a physical error. Basically I've had the same updates ready to be installed for a couple of weeks now but it seems like they never get updated.
It's these 2.

It downloads, I get the "install updates and shut down" icon on the shut down button. When ever I go to shut it down it goes through the normal steps of a major update install and shuts down like normal. The next time I turn on the PC those same updates are there ready to be installed, wash, rinse and repeat. No update error messages no nothing [MOG]

Damn dude you haven't got service pack 1? Download the installer directly from the MS website. Better get that on there
