• What are Service Packs? Can I upgrade to Service Pack 2 for free? If yes how? If I update it will help or hinder my system? Any pack is better than another?

  Windows Vista Service Pack (basic information)

  Hello

  I know this may seem a simple/stupid question, but I do not understand what are "Service Packs".  I don't know much about computers.

  I have restored my laptop to the factory setting today and I reinstall my programs again.  I am trying to install a new program as well (Autodesk Inventor 2012).  The installation says I can't because I need Service Pack 2 and I only have Microsoft Vista Home Premium (Version: 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001).

  What are Service Packs?  Can I upgrade to Service Pack 2 for free?  If yes how?  If I update it will help or hinder my system?  Any pack is better than another?

  Thanks for the information and assistance that you can give.

  AstoriaBoro

  You can install Service Pack 2 very simply - go to Windows Update and check for new updates - then install all available updates.

  Once they are complete, return again (after a reboot) and do the same thing - repeat until there are no left.

  Along the way you will be installed Service pack 2 :)

• Why am I getting the error Code: 821 when I try to upgrade to Service Pack 1 for Vista Home Basic?

  The last update my computer (Vista Home Basic) tried to download and install is the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847) x 86... According to Windows Update. The problem is, it always ends up telling me that the installation failed due to the error Code 821. I found nothing covering this error code on the Microsoft support page. Why am I and how to fix it?

  Hello MadHatter106,

  The link below contains several options that you can try for your problem of .NET.  I would first try the repair facility. Then the uninstall option.

• After installation of Service Pack 1 for Vista 64 bits, Windows Security says Malware and firewalls are off.

  I recently reinstalled my copy of Vista 64 bit I hope to solve this problem that has been with me for a while.  Before I wiped and reloaded, Security Center Windows would alert me every day that my firewall protection and malware have been disabled.

  I use Kaspersky Internet Security, which is fully updated and works as it should.  I am able to activate Windows Firewall and bypass the firewall Kaspersky and that error to go away, however, I can't remove the error of malicious software.  I got all these errors directly after a restart after the installation of service pack 1.

  Under Windows Security Center it says, "Kaspersky Internet Security reports that it is turned off," under the heading for malware protection.  When I click on the button to activate under Windows Security, it goes through the steps who say do you trust this program, Yes, Yes, ok.  After choosing all the options of trust Kaspersky and activate this protection, he thinks about it a little, but always returned and said it's off.  It also has a green light saying that Windows Defender is actively protecting your computer.

  I think that my Internet Security Suite is successfully active in these areas and work I checked the menu, check that they work.  In my opinion, after installation of service pack 1 that something I have messed up in the statement that those programs are active or really uninstalled them.

  Even if I can get the only message that the Kaspersky firewall is disabled to disappear by enabling the Windows Firewall, which is not yet as I want.  I want the suite of internet security that I paid to be active and functional on the side of the Windows security features.

  I would appreciate any help with this problem by addressing why he continues to warn me that my protection malware and firewalls are disabled.  Thank you.

  Also install Windows Vista SP2 this problem could be solved, otherwise try to uninstall and reinstall Kaspersky and also, try to get the latest version of Kaspersky.

  If still the same issue please contact Kaspersky support.

• Can I use Windows 7 Upgrade media to upgrade a Vista computer that has not been upgraded to service pack 1? Can I use the option of custom Setup for Windows 7 Upgrade media? I would go from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Premium.

  The computer on which I am trying to upgrade is vascular under Vista Premium, but it was never upgraded to Service Pack 1. He has a problem with PIECES that is caused by a defective ntdll.dll module and so the updates do not work. Windows Upgrade Advisor tells me I must update Vista SP1. I really don't want to spend the time to solve the problem of Vista. I would like to just do a clean install using the custom install option on the Win7 upgrade support.
  Help.

  Wrong forum. This post here instead, questions please: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads

  That being said, you can not use an upgrade to Win7 edition to make a clean installation on a computer running Vista without SP1 installed, but you can buy a complete edition of Win7 (detail) and install it after formatting your HARD drive. ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

  In addition, unrelated question. Does anyone know why my computer would always have an icon in the lower right shows a storage device mass that I did not and when nothing is plugged into ONE of my USB remove locations?

  Ralleny,
  Regarding mass storage disks that appear, you have housing of memory card reader on your PC?  Usually they will appear like this.  I have a HP at home that has a Bay of 5 card reader to the front and I see the same type of items that you see. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• Has no installation of Windows Service Pack 2 for Vista 64-bit

  I was invited to update itunes on my computer, but when I tried to do kept Windows close Explorer.  When it finally loaded the upgrade she flashed an error message and delete some files needed - which continues to happen at any time that I try to fix the problem.  Now my itunes program does not work.  I did a reading online and decided to try the upgrade to service pack 2 - thought, maybe because I still had the old version, that it didn't work with the new itunes 'things '.  Got an error message indicating that the service pack 2 is no longer available.  Huh?  That now I do--my itunes account is no longer usable, I've probably lost all the songs I paid for (my stupid fault for their backup do not) and I am pretty irritated that I am seriously thinking of just junking my PC and go with a Mac!  I'm not the most computer savy person - I want to start, do things to base prevention/implementation - level and go in my life this computer is only about a year or so old - should not be this frustrating!  You can provide any help would be greatly appreciated.

• Service pack 3 for XP home has disabled my HP HP 4215 Manager

  Download the service pack 3 for my XP Home edition, the essential facility of "HP Director"has prevented somehow, access. Message among others, is that my HP printer is not the default printer. I ' have no other... another message when trying to access my HP director is... "" fatal error... "

  Hewlet Packard suggest the lies of fault with the download of Service Pack 3, HP "fix" program does'nt help...

  I can still use the printer as a simple printer and copier but cannot use the scan of the Director, electronic mail or other characteristics. The Director window appear just does'nt...

  Unable to find any reference to this problem within windows support... Everyone... ?

  I can't wait to get into the game of finger, especially because I am not associated with Microsoft somehow, but it's a HP problem and not a problem of "service pack 3".

  I don't know the specific answer to your question, but I have the following suggestions.

  1. you don't say what "fix" HP suggested.  Was - it: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=oj-46104-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=228&product=351112&sw_lang=
  If it wasn't the fix that you tried, I suggest that you download and install.

  2. it is not particularly useful, but you can use your scanner without the help of the HP software: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02661093&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=351112#N56

  3 uninstall the HP software.  See http://www.out-of-warranty.com/three-ways-to-uninstall-and-reinstall-hp/ , and then reinstall it.  If you do not have the original CD, for the "complete" package download is here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-23606-3&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=228&product=351112&sw_lang=

  There are several other updates (they should be integrated in the 'full' software, but you never know), some 'critical', available here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=351112#N191

  4. If none of the help above, ask your question in the HP forum - where you can get a useful answer from a user in HP colleague rather than a script reader is boredom of HP support who is quick to blame: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/?category.id=InkJet&lang=en&cc=us

  I turned to the forums and I saw that many, many people have the same problem with Vista SP2 Upgrade. Microsoft and several of its Vista customers realized that Vista has a lot of problems, but people who have need of the service. Being able to download and install the SP2 can make Vista more stable, but I get the same message mentioned above, and so I am sure are a lot of other people who are trying to get Service Pack 2 integrated into Vista.
