syd barrett Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 That would be Vista Service Pack 2. Microsoft SP2 Thanks. Do I have to download SP2 in one go? Or can I download a certain percentage at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Do I have to download SP2 in one go? Or can I download a certain percentage at a time? If you have a downloader like FlashGet you can stop the process anytime and let it continue later, for example if you shut down the computer at night. Or you can pause it if you need the bandwidth at times. I have not tried the MS site to see if it supports "resume" but would think so. Since I'm on an EDGE connection at home I do that regularly.

H2oDunc Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Yep its service pack 2. Had it now for a month and no problems and it seems to have sorted out the wireless network dropping to local all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know how to attempt a 350 MB download. My connection is 450 Kbps and often drops off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned in another topic, get a copy of FlashGet (free) and queue the file. It will do mult-section downloads and if interrupted, network hangs, etc. it will continue on where it left off. I've used it for years and consider it the best downloader around. And if you are running Firefox, download the Flashgot addon that allows direct connection of links in web pages to FlashGet.

Dave the Dude Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I have both Thai & Engrish on my PC and as this service pack has only 5 languages, it would not download (until multi pack comes out). Swapped to Windows 7 now and not regretted it. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
