  After installing Windows Update Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (KB948465) my computer slowed down and

  Why Microsoft comes up with these updates?  Very often, these mess my computer updates.

  Never, EVER use system restore to 'Cancel' an update, Service Pack, or upgrade of IE!  Instead, uninstall the update, Service Pack, or the IE patch & reboot.  If that does not resolve the problem, then try System Restore.

• Windows Vista Service Pack 2 for update (KB948465) systems focus on x 64

  Hi all:

  For several weeks, I get a daily reminder to install the update "Windows Vista Service Pack 2 for x 64-based systems (KB948465)", but whenever I try to install it, it ends up by default, which gives 80246007 error code. What happened probably 30 times. It's driving me crazy, and at this point, I would like to know if it is still necessary to have. If this is the case, how can I get to install correctly? If this isn't the case, I can't the notification go away?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.
