How Do I Install Windows Vista Service Pack 1?

From Software Forum:

How do I install Windows Vista Service Pack 1? I need to install Windows Vista service pack 1 on my computer in order to install MS Office 2010. It says on the site that I need to install it through windows update but it doesn't show up there. How do I install it? and also is that the reason I cannot install office? or do I need to do something else?

Answer: Th's is Vista SP. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=b0c7136d-5ebb-413b-89c9-cb3d06d12674&displaylang=en If you don't have a genuine, legitimate copy of Vista that you purchased the license for, then SP (and any other updates for Vista) will not ever load. "Free" illegal copies of Vista are not supported with SP's from Microsoft. Am just pointing this out in case this happens to be you. It seems odd that you would not already have SP loaded and so I was mentioning this as that may be the reason why you don't.

I Just Downloaded Windows Vista Service Pack 1, Its Asking Me To Install, Should I Backup My Harddrive?

From Other - Hardware Forum:

I just downloaded windows vista service pack 1, its asking me to install, should I backup my harddrive? I currently downloaded the new Windows Vista service pack 1, I'm just wondering if I need to back up everything on my hard drive? Does installing the service pack make me lose everything? Do I really need to install it?

Answer: If you wish to have Service Pack 1 active, you must install it. Look at the features of Service Pack 1 and decide for yourself if you wish to install it. I would recommend doing so, as it addressed the major instability issues that were originally present with Vista. As for backing up your hard drive, absolutely. You should periodically back up your hard drive regardless in the event of total hardware breakdown. If you keep anything important on your computer, you should have a backup copy. That said, installing Service Pack 1 will not normally result in any loss of data. But bad things happen, so it is better to be safe.

Will Upgrading Windows Service Packs Effects Games Installed On Your Pc?

From Software Forum:

Will upgrading windows service packs effects games installed on your pc? I updated windows vista service pack 1 to service pack 2 last night and I own the game The Witch er 2 and it worked just fine before the update and now it is running a little slow.

Answer: .. Yes this could happen if the game is not compatible with SP-2, but it's not common. It could also be Malawi, disk errors, maybe even heavily fragmentation. Here's what I would do: I would suspect spy ware, possibly incomplete def rag. This all may be resolvable with a System Restore and better maintenance tools.. Here's what I would do: 0. Go to the games' website and see if there are any patches for it to run on Vista Service Pack 2. If there is one, get it and install it and see if the game now works fine. If yes, skip step 1 (steps 2 and on will optimize your PC so you should do them). If no luck, go to step 1. 1. Do a System Restore to a point before this was a problem: a. Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore (click to open); b. Select a restore point well before you started having these problems; c. Start the restore process and let it complete (Name the restore operation something descriptive like "Browsing Repair"). Note: you will need to re-install any programs that were installed after that restore point -- one of which may be the cause of this. Reinstall one at time so you can see if any one of them causes the problem). 2. Get a good Anti-Spyware program (MalWare Bytes is a good free anti Malawi program -- see link below). a. Download Mal ware Bytes and install it b. Run a complete (full) Spy Ware scan and handle whatever it finds. c. Do an Anti-Virus Scan (if no AV, get one ASAP. AVG is good and free as is Microsoft Security Essentials); 3. Next, ensure the Registry is clean and the disk's clutter is also cleaned out. Solution: Get and run a good registry cleaner. a. Check to see if there is a registry cleaner already on the system; b. if none, get CC leaner at the site below c. Run the Registry cleaner till it finds and corrects all errors d. Run the "Cleaner" to analyze the disk and see what it finds to delete and then delete the files that are not needed (most of the files it finds are unneeded, but look through the categories to be safe). 4. Run a good disk def rag. If you use the PC more than just occasionally, the built-in may not cut it. Consider downloading a free trial of a third party commercial def rag tool. Third party programs are more robust and many work in the background so you can use your PC while def ragging. Most third party programs offer a free, fully-functional trial (the better ones are for 30 days). Below is a recent Top 10 Reviews side-by-side comparison of the best def rag programs available. a. Select a program and install it. The better def rag programs are automatic and the top placers in the above review can def rag while using the PC. The top placer was the only def rag program that prevented fragmentation (see the review). You can get a free trial for the gold medal winner via the review or at the site listed below. b. De fragment your disk drives. The best def rag programs are very fast. You will be able to see the progress and with the gold medalist, you can use the PC while it is working with no problems. Good luck to you! Bill R TechSpec ...
