Can I update my computer, download the updates to a flash drive and then install it on my computer when I go?

Hi all!

I have 2 updates to download an install on my computer. But the problem is I have a dial-up internet access and the size of the combined file is about 264 MB. At this size, it will take several days to fully downloaded. My average download speed is slower than a snail to 2 KB/s.

Now my current options are:
1) download in small sections of every day. That I started to do. about 2 to 5% to 10% or slightly more.
(2) downloadable on a flash drive using my local library computers. Then come home and install the download on my computer.
(3) wait 2 weeks until we get the bundled package incudes cable, phone and high speed internet 5 MB download download/800 KB.

I need 1 update to hopefully help with some problems I am with my computer. From IE7 to IE8 will solve most of these problems if all goes well!

What do you recommend I do?

You can.

For example, here is the download link for the 32-bit version of Vista Service Pack 2 standalone version:

http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=a4dd31d5-F907-4406-9012-a5c3199ea2b3&displaylang=en

You can download/save it to CD/Flash Drive > take home > install it.

You will need the KB updates of security number you need to download (from your own scanning system), and you have to get the right to qualify for the operating system (Vista xxxxxxxx).

It can be a bit tricky if you're not used to doing.

See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner
