Windows Vista
Service Pack 1 has now been officially released in ALL 36 languages including
English.
Windows Vista
SP1 will change the version number from 6.0.6000 to 6.0.6001.
NOTE: Security updates listed here will be grouped by year.
(Critical
Updates are bug fixes that fix serious problems such as specific security
hacker attacks)
(Recommended
Updates are optional - not really necessary to download & install but
include system improvements)
NOTE: It is not necessary to download & install all of the updates
listed on my page. You are not required
to install them unless your system has suffered serious problems.
Make sure you download the
patches for the correct operating system. You can uninstall most
system updates from your system
if they cause more problems than they fix.
I've
made this page simply for informational purposes and to make downloading
updates faster & easier. All the updates for
Windows Vista listed here can be installed under any edition except for
the 64-bit (ia64/x64) versions.
Before
installing any WinVista updates, be sure to 'activate' your copy of Windows
Vista.

possible side effect; I am not responsible if the updates you download

Notes:
Download & install these updates in ascending order [from bottom
to top]. If you are paranoid about security, install
Windows
Vista Service Pack 1 and all the security updates mentioned above.
<>
Caution: Problems have been noted after installing certain WinVista security
updates that are marked with an <> symbol.
Read
the corresponding MS support articles of the affected security patches.
Windows Vista
Service Packs: (for all 32bit editions)
|
Notes:
Only install the Windows Vista Service Pack if a newer hotfix or a security
update requires it. WinVista SP1 has
been
publicly released in both the MS Download Center and Windows Update.
See MS KB article 947366
if you experience
problems
installing Vista SP1. Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is available in
5 languages including English and SP1 is
now
available in all 36 languages posted late April. You will need to
install the Vista KB937287 and KB938371
updates
before installing WinVista SP1. For those using the Ultimate or Enterprise
editions of WinVista, the KB935509
update
is also required before installing SP1. Vista SP1 is also available
at Windows Update. Installing WinVista SP1
will
change the version number from 6.0.6000.16386 to 6.0.6001.18000.

Notes:
Since Windows Vista no longer includes the old Windows Help Viewer to view
help files with the .HLP file extension,
download
& install the WinHlp32.exe Help Program to restore the ability to view
.HLP help files in Vista.
<>
Caution: There had been some problems when installing the original Vista
KB937287 update through Windows Update
and
the Automatic Updates feature and they are mentioned in MS article 949358.
I highly recommend shutting off the
Automatic
Updates feature, obtain the KB937287 V2 update from the MS Download Center
and install the update separately
from
other updates.
