First of all make sure you install the prerequisite to installing SP1. You can get it from here... http://www.pagestart.com/win7sp1steps021611.html> How to increase your chances of installing Service Pack 1 successfully.

Then download SP1 manually from here... http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=c3202ce6-4056-4059-8a1b-3a9b77cdfdda

For 32-Bit Windows 7 download: windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe 537.8MB

For 64-Bit Windows 7 download: windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe 903.2MB

Download, *save*, and install the Service Pack with no security software (antivirus/security suite) installed, disconnect from Internet, disable the fire-wall & close all non-essential process in the task manager.

When it is downloaded right click on the file and select Run As Administrator from the menu
