Installation Tips:
• Your computer will restart several times during the installation process:
Make certain you've saved your work and closed all open applications before beginning the install.
• Disable (1) your anti-virus application, (2) any real-time system protections afforded by any anti-spyware applications (except Defender), & (3) your third-party firewall (if any) and then (4) enable the Windows Firewall before installing or uninstalling Vista SP2.
• The installation process can take an hour or more: If you're installing SP2 on a portable computer, make sure that you plug-in the power cord and have the battery inserted into its bay.
• Vista SP1 is a prerequisite for installing SP2. If you use Windows Update or the Automatic Update feature in Windows Vista, you will not be offered the option to install SP2 until you first install SP1.

This is a huge departure from standard MS practice. Why was this change made? It makes no sense.
== John ==- 5 people on my block alone have dead computers after the update. Our HardDrives are all FRIED. Curious as to what MS is planning on doing for those of us whose computers are dead now...
Before I knew it wasn't my fault I went and purchased a new hard-drive (this morning). Now, I'm even trying a clean install of my Vista Home Premium OS and can't even do that on my NEW hard drive!
It's bad enough losing my 500 GB hard drive due to a malfunction that is NOT my fault, but if I get told I need to buy a new OS disk, it will NOT be Microsoft... - On 8/26/09, I did an update. I have automatic updates turned on. AFter the update, I turned on the computer and it ran a few minutes and then I got the "blue screen." I did a restore and now it seems to work OK. I then reinstalled the updates, and again, got the blue screen when I ran the computer. I again did a restore and again it seems to work ok. I have Vista. Is there a problem with some recent updates?
- For those experiencing Blue Screens or "Driver Incompatible" errors upgrading to Vista Service Pack 2, please check out the thread below for a SOLUTION:
