Is it acceptable to ignore service pack 2 and install service pack 3 instead?

Can you install service pack 1 and service pack 3, or is it better to install service pack 1, service pack 2 and service pack 3?

·        SP3 is cumulative, so that users can install SP3 on Windows XP SP1 or SP2.

·        You can run the package of SP3 update on any edition of Windows XP SP1 or SP2. For example, you can run the package to update SP3 on a computer that is running Windows XP Media Center Edition with SP1. The exceptions are for XP Embedded editions.

·        Windows XP SP3 is for x 86 only versions of Windows XP. The x 64 editions of Windows XP were serviced by Windows Server 2003 SP2. For more information, go to Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2.

  • Download and install Vista Service Pack 2 - difficulties.

    So, I posted this in another forum, but told me to re-post here with more info... but I have no more.  I'll just re-post I posted in the other and see if someone here can help me.  Thank you!

    I don't get an error downloading the service pack, but my computer restarts.  I know, they say that it might restart several times, but Windows is trying to start mode safe because it has not been closed properly.  I tried three times, three times all automatic updates.  Twice I restarted in safe mode, it and tried to determine what the problem was, but could not.  I know that the error codes and the help of stuff, but I have not write everything, and I don't want to continue to have my computer turned off properly.  Another time I ignored the recommendation in Mode safe and started Windows normally.  He said it was configuration updates, but he stopped even before it began, and the update is still waiting to be downloaded and installed.  If anyone has any information that they think will help, that would be great.  I know I don't have a lot of valuable information, but whatever it is would be helpful.
    Thank you.

    Well, I went to try to reinstall and cull all error messages and download it no matter what, but now Windows will not start.  Nothing has actually been installed, I think not, because the installation process is always interrupted.  I ran the fixer thing turning and I tried to restore to an earlier point, but he could not know what the problem was, and he could not restore the computer to an earlier date.  I was planning to do a while system restore and losing all my files, I don't have many of them.  But I don't want to have to go through the motions again downloaded and installed massive amounts of updates needed.  Does anyone have advice so that maybe I won't have to do?  Thank you.

    Thank you, guys.  I know that I don't give a lot of information...

  • I am repeatedly offered Windows Vista Service Pack 1, even though I downloaded and installed successfully.

    Original title: Windows Vista SP1 64 bit (KB936330) 1.5 MB update.

    I just reformat my computer and am trying to do the update process.  I use Microsoft Vista 64 bit and got most of the SP1 is installed.  TI completed most of it restarted, full of a few other updates and is now stuck on 1 part of the update.

    He keeps asking to install "Windows Vista Service Pack 1 for x 64-based Systems (KB936330) which is a 1.5 MB file.»  I go through the process.  He told me that I downloaded and installed successfully, and then when I hit the button to Windows Update, there is still wanting to be installed.

    I'm sure that this issue has arisen before but most of what I saw refers to the two error codes or problems with the installation of SP1 together.  Help, please!

    I had the same problem, I must have downloaded and installed sp1 about 10 times and there is no way that he was only 1.9 MB.

    I finished downloading it manually from the main site of Microsoft.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=30
    Once you are done installing the update and Windows update tent always updated sp1, simply click on "check for updates" at the top left of the window, and who should confirm that sp1 has been updated and it should not try sp1 update more.
    It took about 1-2 hours in total, but it worked for me, hope this helped.
  • Windows update is not download and install Service Pack 1, 2 3

    Did a fresh install of Vista 32 bit Home Premium on Acer Extensa 4420. After repeatedly run Win Update and installation of more than 60 update updates said that I was aware. HOWEVER, SP - 1 was not detected as missing but was necessary for the other software work. I found SP-1 and installed manually. Now Win Update refuses to download Service Pack 2, so of course it also doesn't download Service Pack 3.

    Why is Win defective Update and do not install it no matter what Service Packs?

    Do I have to manually install SP2 & SP-3 or should I wait until I discovered problems or get a virus or another bad thing because Win Update did not bother to run properly?

    ===========================================
    I think it may be better if you download full
    files on your desktop and then install from there. And... BTW...
    There is no Vista SP3.

    Once you have the file on your desktop, it can be a useful
    try to unplug the net and turn off your anti-virus
    before installing.

  • Given that I uninstalled avast! antivirus and installed Bitdefender Internet Security 2015 Thunderbird asked to accept an invalid certificate or not.

    Given that I uninstalled avast! antivirus and installed Bitdefender Internet Security 2015 Thunderbird application if you want to accept an invalid certificate when you try to receive new messages.

    Please take a look at the two attachments (it seems to be a problem with the download of jpg files).

    Obviously Bitdefender manipulates the certificate (no doubt to be able to scan the e-mails via an SSL connection). But I'm not sure.

    Would you recommend to confirm an exception for this certificate (permanently)?

    Thanks in advance.

    Greetings

    Marco

    Thank you, christ1.

    I discovered that after disabling SSL scanning in Bitdefender, this problem no longer exists.

    Maybe this can be seen as a confirmation that the certificate belongs in reality to Bitdefender. Because it is my concern, that is the validation of this certificate to make sure that Bitdefender is the transmitter.
