Windows 7 - Patches and SPs
Asked By Dick
16-Jan-10 08:23 PM
I purchased an HP Pavilions laptop, with
Vista Home Premium SP1, 3-4 months ago.
There were about 35-40 security patches
waiting for download and installation. I
have not gotten around to installing all of
them yet. Does SP2 include all of those patches?
TIA

Almost certainly not as there are patches and updates that have been
released since SP2 was released.
Dick replied to Richard G. Harper
So the MS update system does not recognize
that a computer does not have the subproduct
that it is updating? Why would anyone want
to install bloat for SP2 if SP2 is not even on
the machine? What am I missing?
If I install SP2 without installing the
remaining patches, will I still have the
opportunity to install them at a later date?

I would install SP2 and then go back and install the remaining Updates. Most
certainly some or even most of those Updates that are showing up for you at present
will be included in the SP2 package .

I am sorry, but I do not know what you are asking here. Or you do not know what
you are asking. Not sure which.
By and large updates, including security updates, are for the most part
SP-agnostic; they neither know nor care which SP they are updating. When
Microsoft releases a SP, they include the available security patches to that
point, plus widely-available updates, plus product updates, and a great many
other things. This is documented with the release of any SP - a KB article
tells you exactly what the SP does and does not contain.
Simply because you have do not SP2 installed does not mean that you do not
need any updates since SP2; and in fact almost all of the updates released
since SP2 almost certainly apply to any Vista computer whether it is at SP1
or SP2. It is about as certain as it can be that you need all the security
updates released since SP2 whether you are at SP2 or SP1.
Vista Not Playing Nice - Sharing Files Windows 7 Here's the problem: Vista Ultimate (non SP1) on desktop PC approved to run Vista. Vista Business (non SP1) on laptop approved to run Vista. When desktop had XP and the laptop had Vista I had no trouble sharing files / folders. Right after Vista was installed on the desktop (before a random reboot) I could share files / folders between both Vista PCs. Now I can't share files / folders. I have enabled file and printer sharing

Can't Network Vista-Vista-Mac Windows 7 I have 2 machines running Vista and 1 running Mac Leopard. I can't get them to play nice. The wireless to the internet through my Mac (airport). All computers can access the internet. My desktop (vista) can reach a mac location I created by adding a network location on my computer. My laptop (vista) can't reach the Mac at all. The worst part about it is that my 2 vista machines won't connect to each other! I see the icon for each in my network, but when I click on them I get errors. One vista has McAfee and one had Norton360. My settings (on both vistas) are: Private Network File Media Sharing On Can anyone help me? It's so frustrating having 2 pc with Vista sitting 5 feet from each other and I can't share ym own files. Security
Forward and backward compatibility from XP to Vista & Vista to Xp Windows 7 Vista movie maker creates files that, as the popup says in XP when trying to open a version of windows movie maker that is no longer supported"; XP Not forward compatible. Vista not supported? Can Vista make backward compatible files? As for Movie files created on XP running on Vista, I am disapointed to say that Vista backward compatibility is not present as well. This compatibility issues is not limited just to operating systems, Such as PC games purchaced at the store or downloaded. Where are the Vista backward patches? Where are the XP forward patches. Must we all be forced to upgrade
