| 889194 | 2010-05-29 11:36:00 | Hi guys, Am trying to help someone who has VISTA, but no service packs on it. Will he have to download SP1 first in order to get SP2 on it? LL |

| 889200 | 2010-05-29 22:40:00 | Thanks for that guys, the person I am helping has his computer set for auto updates so I was surprised that the services packs weren't on it. I suspect that it is set at the default (stupid) time of 3 am. I have suggested he change it to a more convenient time, so when he does, the floodgates will open! :badpc: Hope that doesn't stuff up his computer worse than it is now. LL |

| 889201 | 2010-05-29 22:57:00 | Manually run Windows Update - When the number of updates appears click the number to show whats coming through - the service packs will usually show and be unticked, tick them, then they will download and install. What will happen --- SP1 will appear, install it, manually run updates again - you will normally have to manually run 2-3 times, putting in small updates, then finally SP2 will appear ( unticked) tick it, install-- then keep running updates manually, each time you will get a few more till finally they are all through. The service packs, will take on average approx an hour each. I did a customers Laptop yesterday - took close to 4 hours to put in all the SP's and other updates. WARNING: sometimes it looks like the SP's are doing nothing, the progress bar doesn't move for a long time DONT be tempted to restart the PC, they are installing - restarting the PC at the wrong time will cause all sorts of damage resulting in a system that wont boot, cant go forward or backwards. |
