Microsoft squirts out Vista SP2

[TCMuffin]

Not an automatic update yet but Vista’s SP2 can be downloaded from Microsoft’s Download Center.

Is it as pivotal as XP SP2? It’s easy to forget that XP got slated heavily before its SP2 was realeased.

Just currently installing it on my Grandads new laptop as we speak

I’d be interested in your experience of installing SP2, Danwel, if you have time 😕

So far it has taken it’s sweet time but guessing problem is my end lol. Having an issue with Realtk Ethernet part of the update not installing so far but am trying to sort it out

[TCMuffin]

Cool – thank you Gav2k and danwel 🙂

Hi Danwel.

Interested to hear how you sort the Ethernet problem. I have installed Vista Ultimate 32bit but Ethernet driver absent. Cn’t get online so a bit stuffed.

@djgos
Your best bet is to download the drivers from the Marvell website using another computer then transfer the drivers to the netbook via a memory stick.

Tried downloading Driver again. When I unzip I get files which won’t execute, but ask what to open with. The only one that looks relevent is an “Application Extension” file.
