Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2) includes all of the updates that have been released since SP1.
How to get SP2
The recommended (and easiest) way to get SP2 is to turn on automatic updating in Windows Update in Control Panel, and wait for Windows Vista to notify you that SP2 is ready to install. You just need a few clicks to begin the installation and the rest of the process is automatic.
In order to install SP2, you must first have Windows Vista Service Pack 1 installed.
To learn if SP2 is already installed
Click the Start button , right-click Computer, and then click Properties.
If Service Pack 2 is listed in the Windows edition section, SP2 is already installed on your computer and you don't need to follow the instructions below.
Before you begin
Before you install SP2, we recommend you do the following:
Log on to your computer using an administrator account, make sure all other users are logged off of the computer, and close all open programs.
Back up your important files to an external location, such as an external hard disk, DVD or CD, or USB flash drive.
If you're using a laptop computer, connect it to an AC electrical outlet and don't unplug or restart the computer during installation.
Update any device drivers as necessary. You can do this by using Windows Update or by going to the device manufacturer's website.
If you have an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) connected to your computer, disconnect the connecting serial cable before installing SP2. The installation automatically attempts to detect devices connected to serial ports, and UPS equipment can cause problems with the detection process. It's fine to leave your computer connected to a UPS for power.
Some antivirus software might prevent SP2 from installing, or might slow down the installation. You can try temporarily disabling your antivirus software. If you do so, be sure that you're aware of the risks involved, and be sure to enable it after the service pack is installed.
Make sure you have enough free disk space to install SP2 (even though much of that space will be reclaimed after the installation).
Installation method | Approximate free disk space required |
|---|---|
Windows Update |

Downloading SP2 from the Microsoft website |

Integrated installation for enterprise and IT professionals |

Follow the instructions on your screen. The computer might restart several times during the installation.
After installation is complete, log on to your computer at the Windows logon prompt. You might see a notification indicating whether the update was successful.

Pardon the geekspeak, but it seems the next tip is like gold dust on the internet at the moment. It would have saved me the last two hours of tweaking my ubee ddw365 plus all the swearing and desk-hitting 😉
